Never give up!

Once upon a time, there lived two brother bears who were very intelligent.

Their intelligence had made them very popular in their school. It had made them very popular in their area too. Their parents were very proud of them.

One day, a jealous monkey who too studied in the same school and scored good marks gave them a puzzle to solve. The monkey wanted to challenge the bear brothers.

If they won he would no longer be jealous, but if they lost, he would tell every one in the school and area about it. So, the bear brothers together started to solve it. The puzzle was that they should figure out the number the monkey had chosen. But the real challenge was that they only had six chances, three for each brother, and four clues . When they had only two chances left, one of them said ‘’ Zero.”

“But how do you know ?” asked the monkey.

“We know because of your clues,” the bear brothers said.

We learn two things from this story: First, we should not be jealous of others and secondly, we should think hard and never give up — like the bear brothers. If God has given us brains then we should use it for good reasons, and not to harm others.
