The Boy and the Starfish
Once upon a time, there was a boy who would go to the beach every day.
He would pick up the starfish, and toss them into the sea.
He couldn't save them all, but he could save most of them.
One day, a old man walked up to him.
"Why do you bother wasting your time?" He asked. "It doesn't matter. You can't save
them all."
The boy picked up a starfish by the mans foot and tossed it into the sea.
"It mattered to that one." He said.
Moral: Every life matters. Do not stop because you can't save every life.

The Fox and the Grapes
One day, a fox was walking down hungrily. It hadn't had food for days, and thought
it would surely die of hunger. Eventually, it found a vineyard full of rich, juicy
grapes. It went inside and tried to get some grapes.
After a few minutes, it decided to jump. But the lowest bunch couldn't even get into its grasp.
Eventually, it gave up. "Ah. Look at me, jumping up at sour grapes. It isn't worth it."
It muttered, walking off.
Moral: Do not speak ill of what you cannot have, or it will make you sound bitter.
