There are no moral lessons in this. In fact, this kind of idea challenges our common understanding of appropriate behavior and respect. Morality is about treating others with dignity and equality, and this concept is so far from that, it couldn't possibly hold any positive moral implications.
There are very few positive or common 'licking the old woman's feet stories' in general culture. It's rather an odd and inappropriate concept. However, in some extremely strange folktales from very remote areas, there might be some symbolic actions related to showing extreme respect or penance that could be misconstrued in this way, but these are very rare and not mainstream at all.
Maybe it could be about self - sacrifice in a very odd sense. The act of licking feet is not pleasant, so if a kid does it in a story, it could be seen as sacrificing their own comfort for some greater good, like making amends or showing loyalty. However, this is really stretching it and not a typical moral lesson. In normal children's stories, we have much more straightforward and positive morals like honesty, kindness, and perseverance.
I'm not aware of any mainstream children's literature that specifically features kids licking feet stories. Such a concept is rather unusual and not in line with typical positive and educational themes in children's books.
Yes, it could teach about being aware of one's size and strength. The giant boy may not mean to cause harm with his big feet, but he does. So it can be a lesson about being careful.
Yes. For instance, many old granny stories teach the importance of kindness. Stories of a hero helping a poor old man or woman are common, showing that being kind will be rewarded in some way.
In 'The Tortoise and the Hare', the moral is that consistency and perseverance are more important than natural talent. Just like the slow - moving tortoise wins over the overconfident hare.
Many old Filipino stories teach about the value of hard work. For example, in stories where characters build their own homes or farms, it shows that through one's own effort, prosperity can be achieved.
Another moral is about kindness towards others. When the king shared food during the famine, it was a great act of kindness. It tells us that helping those in need is not only good for them but also for our own selves as it earns us respect and love from others. Old Urdu stories are full of such valuable moral lessons that can be applied in our daily lives.
In Punjabi old stories like Heer Ranjha, one moral lesson is the importance of staying true to your love, no matter how difficult the circumstances. Their love defied family and caste norms, teaching us that love can be a powerful force that should not be easily given up on.
The story of Urashima Taro teaches about the consequences of being away from home for too long. It also gives a sense of the mystery of time. It makes people think about how quickly things can change and how precious the time we have in our familiar world is. It's a warning about the unknown and the importance of cherishing the present.
