Stories that parents want to read with their children to nurture their hearts

The classic story mentioned in President Ryuho Okawa's sermon has been turned into a picture book.

“People who think of themselves as rabbits believe that 'I am faster and can jump higher than others, so I can do it easily,' but if they slack off, they may end up losing to 'those who work little by little every day like the tortoise.'”

(From 'Let's Live Correctly open_in_new')

“Another story I want to mention is 'The Ant and the Grasshopper.'
The ant, who diligently collected and stored food from summer, can survive in winter because it has food, but unfortunately, the grasshopper runs out of food and dies.
This means that 'those who work steadily every day and can save for the future will not be in trouble when the time comes.'”

(From 'Let's Live Correctly open_in_new')

“Another story is 'The Three Little Pigs.'
There are three little pigs, each trying to build a house.
The first little pig thought, 'Building a house is easy,' so he built a house of straw because it was the lightest and easiest. The second little pig built a house of wood, thinking 'Wood should be enough.' The third little pig, however, said, 'No, I might be in trouble someday,' and built a proper house of bricks. It took time, was heavy, and was hard work, but he built a house of bricks.

Then one day, a wolf came and first went to the house of straw where the little pig lived, and with a huff and a puff, the straw house blew away. The little pig fled to the house of wood, but with the wolf's strength, it was easy to break down the wooden house and get in. In the end, the brick house could not be destroyed, so the wolf tried to enter through the chimney. However, he fell into a place where hot water was boiling in the fireplace and ran away burned.
What this story tells us is, 'Take your time and build something solid and sturdy,' and also 'Wisdom is important. Think carefully and prepare for such uncertainties.'”
