Banwarilal is a simple soul who believes whatever he is told. The village boys are aware of this and
exploit his simplicity for a few laughs. One day, Banwarilal is on his way to the market with his son to
sell their donkey. He comes across some village boys out to have fun. Seeing the father and son duo
walking with the donkey, they first suggest that let the son ride on the donkey and save the effort. The
son is put on the donkey’s back. The boys then ridicule the boy for riding while the father walks. The
father and son switch places. The father rides while the son walks. The boys then taunt the father for
making the poor son walk and advise the duo to ride the donkey together. Thinking it a good idea they
comply. The poor donkey collapses from exhaustion. The boys then express their disgust at the duo for
ill-treating the donkey and advice that they take the donkey to an animal doctor. The duo again follows
the advice. On the way, they come across barking stray dogs. In the confusion that ensues, the donkey
falls into the flowing river. The donkey is lost forever. Banwarilal loses the donkey because he follows
what he is suggested without thinking for himself. Moral: He who listens to everybody will only become
a laughing stock. One hot day, a thirsty crow flew all over the fields looking for water. For a long time,
he could not find any. He felt very weak, almost lost all hope. Suddenly, he saw a water jug below the
tree. He flew straight down to see if there was any water inside. Yes, he could see some water inside
the jug! The crow tried to push his head into the jug. Sadly, he found that the neck of the jug was too
narrow. Then he tried to push the jug to tilt for the water to flow out, but the jug was too heavy. The
crow thought hard for a while. Then, looking around it, he saw some pebbles. He suddenly had a good
idea. He started picking up the pebbles one by one, dropping each into the jug. As more and more
pebbles filled the jug, the water level kept rising. Soon it was high enough for the crow to drink. His
plan had worked! Moral: Think and work hard, you may find solution to any problem.
