Why tortoises live in water?

                                            Why tortoises live in water?

Long ago, even the tortoises are living like humans. Once some cannibals are hunting. But they could not find anything. At that time, they saw a tortoise crawling.
They thought they will have the tortoise itself for their dinner . They came near tortoise. By seeing them and figuring out danger , tortoise hid itself behind its shell. Without knowing how to take it out of its shell, they wrapped the tortoise in that position itself.
The cannibals ordered their wives to cook the tortoise. But ladies didnt know the procedure. That time, tortoise suggested that if they succeed to break its shell, its easy for them to cook. It suggested that in order to break the shell, they can hit with a stick.
Cannibals agreed for that. They started hitting. But it is of no use. Cannibals themselves got tired. By seeing their condition, tortoise again came with another idea. It asked them that if they dip it in a pool of water, it will get diluted and it would be easier to cook.
Cannibals found a pot of water. But it proved to be small for the size of tortoise. Hence they went near a river and started washing the tortoise vigorously. At one point, tortoise got slipped from their hands. It started to swam through water. It vowed that it will not live on ground anymore.

Cobweb is stronger than a steel wire !

                                              Cobweb is stronger than a steel wire !

We all have seen a cobweb. Spiders are spinning it. Though they are spinning it, they will not get trapped inside the web. Cobwebs are made of special proteins secreted by spiders. Cobwebs are beautiful to look. If we take one strand of cobweb and if we compare it with a strand of steel wire, surprisingly the strand of cobweb is more stronger than the steel wire !
Because of its chemical composition, it is more stronger than a mere steel wire. The main purpose of using the cobwebs by spiders are to catch its pray. If a pray comes inside a cobweb, it is very difficult to escape.

Drag force

                                                Drag force

To launch a rocket to sky, we need to overcome the effect of gravity. For that reason, enormous amount of fuel is needed. The combustion fuel will provide necessary energy to overcome the effect of gravity and helps rocket to climb over earth level.
Similarly, there is another force called Drag force which will also pose some resistance. Drag force is the frictional force caused by the particles of atmosphere which will try to resist the upward movement of rocket. Though particles of atmosphere are scattered, they will offer some resistance. This force is called drag force.
To overcome this, again the combnustion of fuels are required. Thus, the energy due to combustion of fuels comprises to overcome both gravity and drag force.

Donkey as tiger !

                                       Donkey as tiger !

In a village,there was this farmer. He was having a donkey as his pet. Since he was poor, he could not feed well to his pet. His pet now is very thin and looked as if it is counting its last days!
This made farmer to think. An idea struck to him. He dressed his donkey as tiger. He left donkey near villagers' farms in nights. Villagers thought that a real tiger has come to their village and they fled from the scene fearing death threat.
Donkey throughout night, fed in the farm. It continued for days. No one had come to know the real thing. Donkey has become now healthy. Like this , one day it was grazing in a farm. That time, it heard the voice of another donkey.
Because of its nature, it replied by howling. Villagers who wee present there, listened to that. Now they have realised it is not a tiger but is a donkey dressed as tiger ! Villagers now without fear surrounded the donkey in all directions and they started to beat it.
Donkey died there itself.

Grandma's pride

                                               Grandma's pride

Once upon atime, in a village there was this grandma. She was having  a chicken as her pet. Chicken was shouting on the glimpse of sunrays every day. Hearing that, villagers used to start their daily chores. This made grandma little proud of herself and her pet.
One day, she was having little differences with fellow villagers. On a rage she decided that she will take out her chicken somewhere else. Then villagers will not come to know whether it is morning or still dark. Since chicken didnt shout, villagers will not be able to start their work.
Like this thinking, grandma went to nearby forest with her chicken. She stayed there all night. She said to her pet not to shout on the sight of sunrays. Her pet also seemed to listened to her orders. But to her surprise, sun rised in east !
Her chicken didnt shout but also all sunrays filled in forest. Grandma slowly got up and started walking towards her village. In village, villagers have already started their daily work. Seeing her with her pet, one of villagers asked her the reason. What she can tell now? She said her pet wanted to see forest. That's why she had gone to nearby forest with her pet.!
Villagers knew the real story and they started to laugh .

Dilemma

                                             Dilemma

It was late in the night. Pandit was preparing to leave after closing the door of temple. That time, a man came . He requested pandit to open the door as he has to offer the prayers. Pandit said it is late at night and he can come tomorrow to temple.
But man didnt agree. He insisted that he must go inside as he has to offer a golden bowl to God. Listening to that, pandit got activated and he allowed man to go inside. After man's departure, pandit went inside and observed there is a golden bowl infront of God.
As it was late, pandit was very sure that no one had observed what had happened just now. He could not resist the temptation of taking the bowl. Sure,it was made of gold. Pandit was having some financial problem in house. He thought God has given him the golden bowl so that he can get relief from his problems. He took the bowl and went home.
In home, his wife was waiting for him. She asked why is he late today? Pandit showed her the golden bowl and explained everything. He said after selling that, their financial problem will get solved. His wife didn't agree to that.
She said "The devotee had offered bowl to God. It is not right to use for our need. We will not stay with happiness after having it. It is better to return that in its original place. If God wants, he may help us in some other way". Listening to that pandit's dilemma was cleared and he was ready to go to temple once again to return the golden bowl.
