The Goat and The Wolf : Short Story for Kids

A long time ago there was a goat grazing near her master's cottage. All of a sudden, she saw green grass growing on the roof of the cottage. 

Deciding to enjoy it, she leaped onto the roof and started browsing the green shoots of the grass. Just then a wolf came there and seeing the goat, his mouth started watering. 

But he was unable to get to the roof of the cottage. So, he turned to go away to look for some other prey. The goat saw the wolf licking his chops. So, she laughed in her sleeves and looked at him with jeering eyes. The wolf being helpless had to tolerate this mockery.

While walking away, the wolf looked up and said, "Oh little kid ! Its not you who is mocking at me but it is the height at which you are standing. Your high position has given you your value. If you are down you may not have your own life."

Moral: Position has given you your own value.
