Once there lived a boy whose name was Jirdhan. He suffered a huge loss in his business and decided to travel around in search of opportunities to earn money. With no special possession left in the house, he decided to keep his 20 kg heavy iron scales with a merchant and left. With hard work, he earned handsomely and after a few years returned back to his native place. When he went to the merchant and requested him to give back his heritage, the merchant told him that mice had eaten his iron scales. 

 

Jirdhan understood that the merchant was lying and he decided to teach him a lesson. He told him that he is going to take a bath on the river bank and if the merchant wanted to send his son too, he can take him along. Merchant believed him to be an honest person and sent his son along. Jirdhan then hid the merchant’s son and returned back alone. Upon inquiry by the merchant, he told him that eagles have picked up his son and flew away. When the matter went to the local judge, the merchant is forced to commit his theft and return Jirdhan his prized possession in return for his son.

 

This story teaches us an important lesson that we will be treated the same way as we treat others.

 

Short but great moral stories for kids that can be used at bedtime or any other time during the day.
