A CLEVER TORTOISE
A king wanted to give the most severe punishment to a tortoise for some offence. It was decided to turn him up and down. The clever tortoise said,"That would be fine. I'd like some sun on my stomach."
The king thought, "If the tortoise likes it,how can it be a punishment?" He decided to lash his back. "Good," said the tortoise, "That will make my shell stronger."
Then the king changed his mind and decided to throw him in the water. "Oh.no,do anything, but don't throw me in the water," cried the tortoise. So,into the water,the tortoise was thrown.
The king was happy that at last he was given the right punishment, and the tortoise was happy that he was back home safely.
Even though it is a story,we are able to understand that we can overcome the difficulties by our presence of mind.

RIDDLES
1.The man who has been inside doesn't know it,
The man who has never been inside does know it.
2.Too many to count,
But when totalled up,
they form one whole.
It can jump like a monkey,
But cannot climb up a door.
It gives life and preserves it,
But we both love and hate it.
Although it hails from the sky,
The sky is not its birthplace.
Gracefully and merrily it falls,
Strange! some people fear it.
If we don't take shelter quickly
We'll be shivering with cold.
3.It is there when touched,
but not when glanced sideways.
4.When still a bud,it is a heart;
When ripe, it is like a comb.
5.A bird am I and a male,
On my head I wear a crown
And coins galore adorn my tail.
ANSWERS
1.A coffin
2.Rain
3.Ears
4.A banana
5.A peacock

HOW TO BUY SWEET APPLES???????????
A rich man sent his servant to an orchard to buy some apples.
"Buy sweet apples,or none at all,"he instructed his servant.
The owner of the orchard said to the servant,"All my apples are sweet.Try one."
"How am I to know that all of them are sweet if I taste just one? I must try each one I buy."And he took a bite of each apple he was buying.
The master flew into a rage when he saw the apples."Who has bitten into them?" he demanded.

THANKS TO GOD
A peasant driving a donkey reached a melon farm.Tired and thirsty,he sat down and rested under the shade of a nearby walnut tree.Enjoying the view of the spreading vines of big watermelons, he looked up and noticed a few walnuts dangling among the very high branches of a monstrously high tree.Bewildered by the work of God,he wondered why small walnuts grew on such an enormous tree, while the big watermelons hung from a flat and flimsy vine.The puzzled peasant was lost in his thoughts when a falling walnut hit his head.He stretched his hands high up towards the sky and said thankfully,"O Almighty God, it was clever of you not to let melons grow on big trees, for I would have been dead by now."
