Good afternoon to honourable judges, teachers and friends. I am here to share with
you a story entitled The Golden Touch.
Once upon a time, there was a greedy king named King Midas. He had two
daughters, Ribena and Bananna.
One day, he said to the fairy, Oh, my dear fairy, I wish everything I touch will
turn into gold.
OK. Sure. My dear king, said the fairy.
The king touched his castle. Fuh, it turned into gold.
He touched the tree. Fuh, the tree turned into gold.
He touched the rice. Fuh, the rice turned into gold.
He touched the meat. Fuh, the meat turned into gold.
Ribena and Marigold came. They hugged the King. Fuh, they turned into gold.
King Midas was sad and hungry. He cried to the fairy, Oh, please, fairy, please
take away the golden touch. I want my daughters back.
The fairy waved her magic stick. Everything was back to normal. King Midas and
his daughter lived happily ever after.
The moral of the story is do not be greedy. Thank you.
A Lion was asleep. A little Mouse began running up and down upon him. This soon
wakened the Lion. The Lion opened his big jaws and wanted to eat him up.
"Pardon, O King!" cried the little Mouse, "Forgive me, please. I shall never repeat
it and I shall never forget your kindness. The Lion was so kind. Not thinking of any
payback from the little Mouse, he lifted up his paw and let him go.
One day, a few hunters caught the Lion and tied him to a tree while they went in
search of a wagon to carry him on.
The little Mouse just happened to pass by. He saw the Lion crying in the cage
and calling for help. Immediately, the little Mouse spoiled the cage and save the Lion.
The Lion went back to his home. From that day onwards, the Lion and the Mouse were
best friends.
The moral of the story is kindness will be rewarded. Thank you.
Deep in the mountains there lived a dragon. Every ten years he wakes up. He was
always hungry and liked to eat boys. I want some breakfast, he said. He went down
the mountain to the village.
He saw Sam. He wanted to eat Sam up. Please dont eat me! said Sam. Ill give
you some food. Sam took the dragon to his house. He ate three plates of chicken and
rice.
Im still hungry, said the dragon. Sam gave the dragon more food. He ate five
plates of noodles and ten sausages. He was still hungry!
They went to the restaurant. The dragon ate twenty meatballs and fifty fish
balls with twelve plates of chicken chop. After that he ate six puddings and a cake.
He was still hungry!
They went to the shop. The dragon ate all the fruit and vegetables:
watermelons, mangoes, cabbages, tomatoes and mushrooms. He was still a bit hungry!
Sam looked into his pocket. There was one sweet. He gave the sweet to the
dragon. The dragon exploded!
Hooray! shouted Sam. The dragon is gone! No more boys for breakfast!
Thiefs
body,
they
thought, A monster must have killed him and then rung the bell? He will kill all of us
now! They were scared and started leaving the kingdom.
One day, a brave and clever woman passed through the forest and saw
the Monkeys playing with the bell.
She had a plan and told the King, Your Majesty! The monster can be defeated.
But it will cost money. The King agreed to pay her a large sum of money as he was
worried about the safety of his people.
Then, the woman collected a lot of fruits. She put the fruits under a tree in the
forest, and waited, nearby. When the monkeys saw the fruits, they dropped the bell
and rushed down.
She quickly picked up the bell and ran back to the city. The bell was returned to
the church.
The moral of the story is intelligence and courage will bring success. Thank
you.
