Granny and the Three Naughty Monkeys
In the peaceful village of Pura, there lived a kind old woman named Granny. Granny was loved by everyone in the village, though she didn’t have much money. She lived alone and struggled to buy food, but each month, the kind villagers supported Granny by bringing groceries and medicine to her little home.
Granny wasn’t one to sit around all day. She kept busy by taking care of her small garden and enjoyed sharing bedtime stories with the village children. Every evening, the kids would gather around, excited to hear one of Granny’s famous moral stories for kids
One sunny day, three playful monkeys lost their way from the nearby forest and wandered into Granny’s village. They were a cheeky bunch and, looking for food, they found Granny’s beautiful garden. That night, the monkeys made a huge mess! They squished tomatoes, trampled over her lettuce, and knocked down her flowers. When Granny saw the damage the next morning, she was upset.“Oh dear, those naughty monkeys!” she grumbled. But Granny was a gentle soul, and after a moment, she sighed. “I suppose they’re just lost and hungry, like I sometimes feel.” And so, Granny decided to let it go for now, hoping the monkeys would learn better.
However, these mischievous monkeys had other plans! They
soon discovered that Granny’s house had plenty of tasty food. Instead of eating
it, though, the monkeys had a strange habit: they threw food onto the road and
hid pieces in nearby trees, giggling as they watched Granny search high and low
for her missing meals. Granny, who believed in teaching kindness and good
behavior, gently scolded them. "Please, don’t waste food! Wasting food is
not good when others may need it."
But the monkeys just ignored her and continued their tricks.
At first, Granny tried to excuse their behavior, thinking,
“Oh well, they’re just monkeys.” But when they started throwing away all her
meals—breakfast, lunch, and dinner—Granny realized she had to act fast. If this
continued, she’d soon be left with nothing to eat!
The next day, Granny had an idea. She called the monkeys
over with a smile and showed them a big bunch of bananas and some sweet
coconuts. “Tomorrow morning, come back early, and I’ll have these treats ready
for you,” she promised. The monkeys’ eyes grew wide with excitement—they loved
bananas and coconuts! They promised to come early for breakfast.
The next morning, the three monkeys arrived bright and early. Granny welcomed them inside and then gently closed the door, keeping them safe in a cozy room. At first, the monkeys chattered and peeked through the window, looking sad and confused. Granny went about her chores, pretending not to see them. As they waited, the monkeys began to feel sorry for all the food they had wasted.
After some time, Granny walked over to the window. She told the monkeys in a gentle voice, “Food is precious and should not be wasted. Always remember, wasting food is wrong, and it’s better to share food with those who need it.
Then she opened the door and handed each monkey a bunch of
bananas and a coconut. The monkeys were so grateful! They took only what they
could eat—a few bananas and one coconut each—and sat under a shady tree, eating
every bite without wasting a single piece. From that day on, the monkeys never
wasted food again. Instead, they became Granny’s little helpers, watering her
plants, picking vegetables, and helping her around the house. The monkeys and
Granny became the best of friends.Moral of the Story:
This heartwarming moral story for kids teaches us to value food and not waste it. When we have more than we need, we should share with others, because sharing is a way to spread kindness and make friends
