Cycle of Evil

Inspirational Moral Stories in English

        Once there was a king so cruel and unjust that the people in his kingdom yearned for his death or dethroning him. However, one day king surprised them when he announced he has decided to mend his ways and become a good king. 

    ''Now, no more cruelty, no more justice,'' he promised. The king was as good as his word. He was now known as a gentle monarch. Months after his transformation, one of his ministries mustered courage and asked him, ''What had brought about this change in him.'' 

And the king answered, '' on e day I was galloping on horse's back through the forests when I saw that a hound was chasing a fox. The fox escaped into its hole but before that the hound had bitten its leg and lamed it for life.

 Letter I was going through a village and saw the same hound there. It was barking at a man. That man picked up a huge stone and flung it at the dog and broke its leg.

 That man had not gone far when he was kicked by a horse. His knee was broken and he fell to the ground. The horse was running when it fell into a pit and broke its leg.

 Reflecting on all that had happened, I deduced: 'Evil begets evil. If I continue my evil ways, I will surely one day become the victim of evil.

 So, I decided to change myself''. The Minister went away convinced.

Moral of the Story: Cycle of deeds always gives us back what we give to others. If we do good with others, good will happen with us. If we do bad to others, then bad will happen with us also.
