10 दिन की मोहलत एक राजा था ।उसने 10 खूंखार जंगली कुत्ते पाल रखे थे ।जिनका इस्तेमाल वह लोगों को उनके द्वारा की गयी गलतियों पर मौत की सजा देने के लिए करता था । एक बार कुछ ऐसा हुआ कि राजा के एक पुराने मंत्री से कोई गलती हो गयी। अतः क्रोधित होकर राजा ने उसे शिकारी कुत्तों के सम्मुख फिकवाने का आदेश दे डाला। सजा दिए जाने से पूर्व  राजा ने मंत्री से उसकी आखिरी इच्छा पूछी। “राजन ! मैंने आज्ञाकारी सेवक के रूप में आपकी 10 सालों से सेवा की है…मैं सजा पाने से पहले आपसे 10 दिनों की मोहलत चाहता हूँ ।” मंत्री ने राजा से निवेदन किया । राजा ने उसकी बात मान ली । दस दिन बाद राजा के सैनिक मंत्री को पकड़ कर लाते हैं और राजा का इशारा पाते ही उसे खूंखार कुत्तों के सामने फेंक देते हैं। परंतु यह क्या कुत्ते मंत्री पर टूट पड़ने की बाजए अपनी पूँछ हिला-हिला कर मंत्री के ऊपर कूदने लगते हैं और प्यार से उसके पैर चाटने लगते हैं। राजा आश्चर्य से यह सब देख रहा था उसने मन ही मन सोचा कि आखिर इन खूंखार कुत्तों को क्या हो गया है ? वे इस तरह क्यों व्यवहार कर रहे हैं ? आखिरकार राजा से रहा नहीं गया उसने मंत्री से पुछा ,

सही दिशा एक पहलवान जैसा, हट्टा-कट्टा, लंबा-चौड़ा व्यक्ति सामान लेकर किसी स्टेशन पर उतरा। उसनेँ एक टैक्सी वाले से कहा कि मुझे साईँ बाबा के मंदिर जाना है। टैक्सी वाले नेँ कहा- 200 रुपये लगेँगे। उस पहलवान आदमी नेँ बुद्दिमानी दिखाते हुए कहा- इतने पास के दो सौ रुपये, आप टैक्सी वाले तो लूट रहे हो। मैँ अपना सामान खुद ही उठा कर चला जाऊँगा। वह व्यक्ति काफी दूर तक सामान लेकर चलता रहा। कुछ देर बाद पुन: उसे वही टैक्सी वाला दिखा, अब उस आदमी ने फिर टैक्सी वाले से पूछा – भैया अब तो मैने आधा से ज्यादा दुरी तर कर ली है तो अब आप कितना रुपये लेँगे? टैक्सी वाले नेँ जवाब दिया- 400 रुपये। उस आदमी नेँ फिर कहा- पहले दो सौ रुपये, अब चार सौ रुपये, ऐसा क्योँ। टैक्सी वाले नेँ जवाब दिया- महोदय, इतनी देर से आप साईँ मंदिर की विपरीत दिशा मेँ दौड़ लगा रहे हैँ जबकि साईँ मँदिर तो दुसरी तरफ है। उस पहलवान व्यक्ति नेँ कुछ भी नहीँ कहा और चुपचाप टैक्सी मेँ बैठ गया। इसी तरह जिँदगी के कई मुकाम मेँ हम किसी चीज को बिना गंभीरता से सोचे सीधे काम शुरु कर देते हैँ, और फिर अपनी मेहनत और समय को बर्बाद कर उस काम को

They broke the sticks into pieces in minutes. And again they started to quarrel among themselves as to who came first

As she went along, she began calculating what she would do with the money she would get for the milk. “I'll buy some fowls from Farmer Brown," said she, "and they will lay eggs each morning, which I will sell to the parson's wife.

The Ant and the Grasshopper One summer’s day, in a field, a Grasshopper was hopping about, chirping and singing to its heart's content. An Ant passed by, bearing along with great effort an ear of corn he was taking to his nest. "Why don’t you come and chat with me," asked the Grasshopper, "instead of toiling your life away?" "I am helping to store up food for the winter," said the Ant, "and I recommend you to do the same." "Why bother about winter?" said the Grasshopper. "We have got plenty of food at present." Short Stories But the Ant went on its way and continued its toil.

The Lion and the Mouse Once when a lion, the king of the jungle, was asleep, a little mouse began running up and down on him. This soon awakened the lion, who placed his huge paw on the mouse, and opened his big jaws to swallow him. "Pardon, O King!" cried the little mouse. "Forgive me this time. I shall never repeat it and I shall never forget your kindness. And who knows, I may be able to do you a good turn one of these days!” The lion was so tickled by the idea of the mouse being able to help him that he lifted his paw and let him go.
