1 SIGMA7, BRAINOBRAIN SPEED HANDWRITING CLASS 6 TO 8... Once upon a time, there lived a very cunning fox who always wanted to cheat and deceive others with its awful and stupid acts. The fox used to deceive others with its sneaky mind. He used to speak to other animals sweetly to make him trustworthy. One day he tried to cheat and have fun with a stork. He befriended the stork and gained the trust. The fox acted like a very good friend and cared a lot for the stork. One day, he invited the stork to have a feast with him and he wanted to treat his friend with delicious food. The h a p p y s t o r k a c c e p t e d t h e invitation. The fox promised to offer rich and t a s t y f o o d f o r t h e s t o r k. Considering the delicious dinner proposed by the fox, the stork remained hungry for the whole day. Fox took the stork to his home. He apologized to the stork that he could not make anything due to his illness and offered some soup. The stork although disappointed, cared for the fox and was happy with the soup. The cunning fox offered the soup in a shallow bowl. The stork was stunned to have the soup in the shallow bowl! The long bill of the stork prevented it to take the soup. As the fox easily licked the soup from the plate, the stork wasn't able to even taste a bit of the soup. It just touched the soup with the tip of its bill.

2 The Fox asked the stork, 'How is the soup? Don't you like it?' The Hungry stork replied, 'Oh it is good, but I have stomach upset and I can't take anymore soup! 'I'm sorry for troubling you', said the fox. The stork replied, 'Oh dear, please don't say sorry. I have some health problem and cannot enjoy what you offer. Please take care of your health.' She left the place thanking the fox! However, the stork understood that it was cheated by the fox and decided to teach him a lesson. After a few days, the fox met the stork again and decided to play another prank on the stork. This time it was the stork's turn. The stork welcomed the fox happily and invited to pay a return visit to have a dinner. The fox was happy and they decided on a date to have the dinner. The Stork asked the fox's favourite food and offered to cook the same for the dinner. The day arrived and the fox reached the stork's place. The stork served soup to the fox and asked him to have soup first. The soup was served in a narrow jar with a long-neck. The stork was able to drink the soup very easily with its long bill, however the fox couldn't. The stork asked the fox to enjoy the soup. And showed several delicious dishes in long-necked jars. The disappointed fox said, 'My stomach is very painful. I'm leaving now' and left the place running.

3 SIGMA7, BRAINOBRAIN SPEED HANDWRITING CLASS 6 TO 8... Sam was a greedy and a selfish man. He always desired to have lots and lots of wealth and never hesitated to cheat others to earn money. Also, he never wished to share anything with the others. He was so selfish that he would like to own everything for himself. The selfish man used to calculate each and every small aspect. He paid a very little amount of wages to his servants. Where ever he went, he calculated a lot to save money by deceiving others. He also told a lot of lies to protect his wealth. Simply, Sam was the antonym for the word; HONESTY. However, he was taught a nice lesson by his own act. One day, he missed a small bag, which contained 50 gold coins. He was searching for the bag of gold coins day and night. He sent his workers in search of the bag, but none could find it. He told his friends and neighbours that he had lost a bag of gold coins and requested them to inform if they found it. Sam was so sad that he had lost so many gold coins. After a couple of days, a ten year old girl, who was located near Sam's house, told her father that she had found a small bag and it had 50 gold coins. Her father worked in Sam's land. He told his daughter that it was his chief's money and he had lost it before two days and added he would return the bag to his master.

4 They weren't very rich and the father could retain the gold coins with themselves and hide the fact of finding the bag. He was so honest that he should return the valuable coins to his master, who really owed it. He gave it back to his master Sam and asked him to check whether the bag had 50 gold coins. Sam who was literally happy to get the coins, decided to play a trick. He shouted at his worker, 'There were 75 gold coins in this bag and you gave me only 50! Where are the other coins? You have stolen them!' The worker was shocked to hear this and he pleaded to his master that he gave whatever his daughter had found. Selfish and greedy Sam did not accept it and they decided to take the issue to court to get the right judgment. The judge heard both the sides. He examined the daughter and the worker about the number of coins they had found in the bag and they assured it was only 50! He cross-examined Sam and Sam replied, 'Yes lord, I had 75 gold coins in my bag and now they gave me only 50! They have stolen my 25 coins!' Judge asked, 'Are you sure you had 75 coins?' and Sam nodded his head. Then the judge made his judgment, 'Since Sam lost a bag of 75 gold coins, the bag found by the girl which had only 50 coins doesn't belong to Sam and it was lost by somebody else. In addition, if anyone found a bag of 75 gold coins, I would declare it belongs to Sam. Also, there were no claims against the loss of 50 coins and I order the girl and his father to take those 50 coins as a token of appreciation for their honesty!' Honesty is rewarded and greediness is punished!

5 SIGMA7, BRAINOBRAIN SPEED HANDWRITING CLASS 6 TO 8... It was a cold and windy night. My friend and me met after a long time and were chatting for hours. We did not notice that time flew away and it was close to ten. We decided to take an auto rickshaw to go to our room. It started raining and we hurried to get into an auto rickshaw and reach our place. None of the auto rickshaws stopped for us, except one. The driver asked us where we wanted to go and we told the place. Without talking anything about the fare, he said, 'please get in!' We thanked the auto driver for stopping for us. Since it was very cold, I asked the driver to stop in the mid at any small restaurant or a tea shop. We liked to have a cup of hot tea. The driver stopped near a small restaurant. We ordered for tea and asked the driver to join us and have a cup of tea. The driver refused. I insisted him to take a cup as it could be refreshing. Again the driver refused to drink tea. My friend asked, 'Will you not take tea from this shop or what?' Driver replied, 'No Sir, I don't feel like having tea now.' I asked again, 'But, why? A cup of tea will make no harm.' The Driver with all smiles replied, 'Thank you sir, but I'm sorry.'

6 My friend asked, 'Do you have any habit that you won't eat outside?' The Driver said, 'No!' My friend became angry on the driver, 'You think we are not equal to share a cup of tea with you?' The Driver remained silent and never replied. I was really surprised at his behaviour and asked my friend not to compel him. In 15 minutes, we reached our mansion. We paid the fare and he thanked us. I stopped him, as I really wanted to ask him why he refused to drink tea. He was thinking for a minute, and replied, 'Sir, my son passed away this noon in accident. I don't have enough money for his funeral. So I promised not to drink even water until I earn enough money for my son. That's why I didn't drink tea when you offered. Please don't mistake me.' We both were shattered and offered him more money for his son's funeral. I said, 'Please take this.' He politely refused, 'Thank you for your generosity sir. In one or two hours, if I get one or two more customers, I will earn sufficient money I need.' And he left the place. He could have charged us double or even triple the usual rate due to rain. Still, he received the nominal auto fare. In spite of his poor financial condition, his deep sorrow, the auto driver remained honest and stood by his words! Be honest to all because honesty is the right policy.

7 SIGMA7, BRAINOBRAIN SPEED HANDWRITING CLASS 6 TO 8... Kim and Ray were very close companions. They were neighbours, studied together, completed their graduation and worked together. They planned to enjoy a vacation and took a sea voyage to explore different places. Unfortunately, their ship wrecked in the middle of the ocean. While most of the travellers were unable to secure their life, only Kim and Ray, who were able to swim, could save their life by reaching an isolated island. They were very happy and thanked god for saving them. However, the island looked like a deserted island with hardly any trees, and poor atmosphere that no living organism could survive. They have no option other than praying to god to save their lives. Kim and Ray sincerely prayed to god. Nothing happened even after a couple of days. They decided to split their ways into opposite ends of the island and challenged themselves about whose prayer would be powerful. Both divided their region in the deserted island and offered their prayers to god. Kim prayed god that he would need food to survive. Surprisingly, he got a pile of food, fruits and vegetables on the sea shore. After two days, he requested for a beautiful girl as his wife, as he was feeling very lonely in the island. In a few hours, a ship wrecked again in

8 the island near Kim's region, where only a beautiful girl was alive! He married the girl. After a few days, he requested for more food and shelter. All prayers of Kim were addressed by God. It was almost a month after the ship wreck and Kim decided to move back to his hometown. He prayed god to send him a ship to take him home. Surprisingly, a ship came and took Kim and his wife. Just before the ship was about to move, a voice appeared! 'Are you going alone, leaving your companion of life here?' Kim was surprised, 'May I know who is this and whom you are referring to? I have my wife with me!' The voice said, 'I'm the one whom you offered your prayers!, whom you requested to save your life, whom you requested food and shelter and of course, a wife!' Kim happily stood on his knees and said, 'Thank you god!' Then god said, 'But why do you leave your companion here?' Kim was confused again! Then god added, 'Don't get so excited my son. Your prayers are not answered and fulfilled by me. I was only fulfilling Ray's prayers. He prayed only one thing to me! He said 'Please fulfil all the prayers of Kim and it is my only prayer to you.' Kim was in tears and rushed to the other side of the island. He realized that he did not even think about his best friend Ray and was happily enjoying life with all pleasures. He could not find Ray there and asked god 'Where he was?' God replied, 'I took him with me, the man with the golden heart should be with me! But I will fulfil all your prayers as I promised him to do so!' Kim was completely broken and realized that his friend's prayers were more powerful.
