Doctor Foster #BedTimeStories

Image
One day, Dr. Foster wanted to go to Gloucester to do his work. It had been raining since morning and had not stopped. But he still went there nonetheless.  Once he finished his work, he set off home immediately. But it was still raining. The road was wet and slippery. Dr. Foster walked quickly.  Suddenly, he stepped into a puddle full of water and sank up to his waist. He was scared and wet all over. He was so frustrated with his bad luck that he promised never to go to Gloucester again.  Moral of The Story :  You should be careful of where you are going to avoid any accident. 

Meaningless Goals #bedTimeStores

A farmer had a dog who used to sit by the roadside waiting for vehicles to come around. As soon as one came he would run down the road, barking and trying to overtake it. One day a neighbor asked the farmer "Do you think your dog is ever going to catch a car?" The farmer replied, "That is not what bothers me. What bothers me is what he would do if he ever caught one." Many people in life behave like that dog who is pursuing meaningless goals. Life is hard by the yard, but by the inch, it's a cinch. --Gean Gordon
