If there is a story about a little red fish in a big ocean, the moral could be about finding one's place in the world. The little red fish has to learn how to avoid big predators, make friends with other fish, and find enough food. This shows children how to adapt and be confident in a large and sometimes scary world.
Yes, consider a story where a little girl shares her extra panty with a friend who had an accident. This can teach kindness and sharing. These simple stories can instill values in a child. By using such ordinary items like panties in a story, we can make the moral lessons more relatable to young minds.
It also teaches about being cautious. The girl should have been more careful when she saw the wolf on her way. Maybe she could have changed her path or found a safer way to her grandmother's house. Moreover, it can imply that appearances can be deceiving. The wolf seemed friendly at first, but it was actually very dangerous.
Children can learn not to talk to strangers. Little Red Riding Hood talked to the wolf, which led to the danger she and her grandmother faced. So it teaches kids to be cautious around people they don't know.
In 'Snow White', the moral is about the power of kindness. Snow White's kindness towards the dwarfs and even her stepmother (initially) is rewarded in the end. Her stepmother's jealousy, on the other hand, leads to her downfall, so it also warns against envy.
There are a few moral lessons in this story. Firstly, it warns about the danger of talking too freely to strangers, like how Little Red Hood told the wolf where she was going. Secondly, it shows that things are not always as they seem. The wolf disguised as the grandmother fooled Little Red Hood at first. So, we should be more observant and not be easily deceived.
There really shouldn't be a positive moral in such stories as they involve unkind and inappropriate behavior. However, if we were to look at it from a prevention perspective, the moral could be that adults and peers should encourage a positive and inclusive environment where such mean - spirited actions are not tolerated, so that little girls grow up in a kind and respectful community.
Another moral is about community. Their stories emphasized the value of helping one another. In tribal life, everyone had a role, and if one person shirked their duties or was selfish, it could harm the whole community. Stories of hunters sharing their catch or families taking care of the sick and elderly were common.
The main moral in 'The Little Red Hen' is about self - reliance. The hen didn't depend on the lazy animals. She took matters into her own hands and was rewarded with bread. It shows kids that they can achieve things on their own if they are willing to work hard.
In 'Kolobok', the moral is about the importance of being clever and not easily trusting strangers. Kolobok uses his wits to escape from dangerous animals.
Another moral is about hard work. Take the story of the ants and the grasshopper. The ants work hard all summer to store food for winter, while the grasshopper just plays. When winter comes, the ants are well - prepared and the grasshopper suffers. This clearly shows the value of hard work.
