Short Stories with Moral

There was a proud teak tree in a forest. He was very tall and solid. There was a little herb beside the tree. The teak tree stated, "I am extremely great looking and solid. Nobody can overcome me." Hearing this, the herb answered, "Dear companion, a lot of pride is destructive. Indeed, even the solid will fall one day."
The teak overlooked the herb's words. He kept on commending himself.
A solid breeze blew. The teak stood solidly. When it rained, the teak remained steadfast by spreading its leaves. Amid these, the herb bowed low. The teak ridiculed the herb.
One day, there was a storm in the woodland. The herb bowed low. Not surprisingly, the teak did not have any desire to bow. The storm continued becoming stronger. The teak could never again bear it. He felt his strength giving way. He attempted his best to stand upright, yet at last, he tumbled down. That was the finish of the proud tree. When everything was quiet, the herb stood straight. He glanced around. He saw that the mighty tree has been fallen to the ground.
