THE SEVEN LEAGUE BOOTS #Inspirational Moral Stories
Albert
was a curious child. Once he was exploring the woods, when he came
upon a
big house. Unknown to him, it belonged to an ogre! Whenever the
ogre
smelt a child near him, he would cry out: ‘Fee, Fi, Fo, Foy, I smell the
blood of
a little boy!’ When Albert heard this, he fled at once. The ogre
screamed
to his wife: ‘Quick, give me my seven league boots!’
In those
boots, the ogre could cross mountains or rivers with just one step,
but
Albert managed to hide from him. When the ogre was tired and fell fast
asleep,
Albert gently removed the ogre’s boots from his feet and stepped into
them.
Being magic boots, they fitted him exactly! Albert saved himself from
the
ogre, and became the chief royal messenger of his kingdom.
