Below is a short story I wrote for my son's story telling competition. I have shortened the story a lot so that Adu could easily tell it.
Long ago, King Mumbri ruled the island kingdom of
Mumbeshwar. Mumbri was a kind but careless king. He thought his kingdom was
full of rich and happy people. However, Princess Mumbadevi, the daughter of King Mumbri, was
aware of the true state of the kingdom. Thus, she takes him on a ride to show
the truth.
During the journey, the King sees a weak, naked child
coming to him. The child begs for some food to eat. Surprised, the King asks
the child, “How come my people are begging for food? Aren’t there enough food
for all?” This is when the King realizes his mistake. Thus, he promises to fulfill
all the needs of the people in his kingdom.
Moral
of the story: Leadership comes with responsibility.
