Lin The Foolish Frog..

In a vast and dense forest lived a frog named Lin who was very playful and naughty too.
Lin lived in a dazzling and cold water of river Nari. The river was home of many different insects and animals.All lived happily in the river.
Lin was very entertaining frog he would sing songs and would ride on the leaf as the boat, and would sometimes do stunt in the water splashing on each and everyone. He brought joy and happiness in others face.. But Lin lived alone his parents had died and only some fishes and sparrow take care of him.
Lin always looked at the blazing sun above an in the night the mesmerizing moon brightening the world,Lin also wanted to shine and would always think if he could somehow eat both sun and moon he would shine brighter and all would praise his wonders. As he had seen how all small insects to big animals praise in the sunshine and dance in the moonlight and peacefully lay at ease..
Lin wished to shine mightly, he show didn't knew how he could eat sun and moon he asked many of his small and big friends, he went to little sparrow to help him carry on his back and reach him till the sun in morning but the little sparrow said: I am poor little sparrow I don't have stamina too fly so high and I may not be of your help, I am sorry.. Hearing this he was disheartened and went to meet the big and mighty eagle staying on top of the cliff. Lin tirelessly climbed the cliff and asked for help, just to help him reach near the sun, the eagle was astonished seeing how stupid the frog was behaving, I can't be of your help and I would sincerely like you not to try to go near sun no one can fly till there. Lin was disappointed and pleadingly asked for help he promised to just fly once and would never try... It was already a beautiful sunny day as the sun was brightly shining on top of Lin's head, he and the big eagle set out to reach near the sun, they flew and flew, flew.. Lin was tired his heart was beating fast as he was flying so high in the sky he dared not to look down, the eagle tried so hard that her energy was draining she could not fly more she gave up and started flying down, Lin was already unconscious he didn't knew when he landed the ground, The eagle dived down in the river and dranked water stomach full. Lin's friends took care of him he finally gained consciousness in the night, he drank water and ate some fruits and tasty insects which his friends gave him.
All his friends tried to stop from catching the sun as he would harm himself, but Lin was stubborn he without telling his friends set out at night to met the owl,who stayed in the big banyan tree. Lin tried calling and climbing on the tree but he failed to do so he tried again till he felt tired and slept on the soft green cozy trees...
His friends searched fully and at last found him under the big banyan tree lying on his back. They threw water Lin hurriedly got up and saw all his friends staring at him, he felt sorry that he troubles them daily,he unknowingly called again for owl he didn't answer he had already flew off the tree as he didn't notice Lin..
Lin returned with sad face with his friends, he was not satisfied with whatever he did Lin alone thought to find ways to catch the sun and moon and shine like them pleasantly..
Lin distanced himself from his friends and started trying capturing the sun and moon.
Lin tried climbing the tall and mighty mountains accordingly in mornings and night!!
He was unable and tired too, as he had gone weaker day by day he neglected his health all his friends have given on him as he always considered them as nuisance. Lin started climbing the tall trees of the jungle from banyan too the mighty coconuts trees, Lin was worn out he just couldn't control his frustration and sorrows of being unable to catch the sun and moon,
Early morning Lin sat on the tall coconut tree,
looking at the sky with hope to catch the sun as it rises,He was very happy as he thought today he would finally catch the sun in morning and in the night the bright moon.
He was engrossed in his imagination and the sun rose brightly above his head he was unable to catch the blazing sun sweating continuously he tried jumping higher and higher unable to reach near the sun. He lost his hope and gave up, being hungry he looked every corner of coconut tree to eat anything but couldn't find, his eyes feel on the river where the sun was blazing brightly and all fishes and birds were dancing circling the sun happily..
With excitement he jumped from the tall tree he feel on the thorny and stony ground he hurt his head and was unconscious for a while.
As he gained consciousness he saw into the river the brightly dazzling crescent moon was shining he forgot his pain went and started admiring the moon and he drank water from the shadow of moon... Lin was fully awaken of his foolish deed of catching the sun and moon and eating them,
He apologized all his friends who had always tried to correct him.
Lin understood that he could shine brightly by brining joy and happiness in others faces by being a good and helpful frog..
Kin was again loved unconditionally from all animals and he again started brining smile and joy in others life.
He sat with his friends admiring the sun and moon closely in the perfect still water of river.. He lived a happy life..

Moral: Don't act foolishly try to be good you will be admired by others..
