      That's very generous of you ma'am :) Let's hope the moral fabric of the society does not degenerate any further..

      Thanks Cynthia:) Panchatantra tales are very similar to Aesop's fables.

    The first haiku reminded of childhood days, what would we be without these moral stories, lovely haiku.
    The second one is virtuous, agni pariksha, test of fire, test of time. Loved both.

    most kids in America has been read 'Aesop's Fables' - wonderful tales with a moral to learn at the end.....It should be mandatory for some adults, too...
