Story 4
The penguins
There was a group of penguins who envied the eagles flying and soaring high in the sky. So, the head of the penguin decided to talk to the eagle to ask him to teach them how to fly. The eagle agreed to teach them how to fly. So, all the penguins learned to fly.
Early morning, they walked to the eagle's home to learn flying. At the end of the day, they lined up and walked home.
Soon the day came when the penguins baded goodbye to the eagles, they have mastered the skill of flying. Know what they did? They lined up and walked back, under the guidance of the head of the penguins. What a waste! My kids were laughing and telling me that those penguins were so stupid.
Sometimes we couldn't see our own silly mistakes. And need someone else to hint on it.
Message of the story; we may have all the knowledge or skills, but when one hoards it deep just for the sake of keeping them, no skills can be utilized. Putting what we have learnt into practice is one of the most effective tools to achieve one's goals. Don't be like those penguins.
