Fable: a short story, typically with animals as
characters, conveying a moral. Kids whose parents read them fables are better at
solving problems than those who did not and fables teach kids how to be
emotionally stable in all the unpleasant situations. Fables display how
relationships between people work. As a result, explore our Fables library and read them to your
kids and friends daily.
Folktales: A folktale is a popular story that was
passed on in spoken form, from one generation to the next. Usually the author is
unknown and there are often many versions of the tale. Folktales comprise fables, fairy
tales, old legends and even 'urban legends'. Children develop a sense of
imagination when reading and studying folktales, and retelling the tales to
others helps practice important communication skills.
Idioms:
a group of words established by usage as having a meaning not deducible from
those of the individual words. Also, idiom is an expression, word, or phrase
that has a figurative meaning conventionally understood by native speakers. This
meaning is different from the literal meaning of the idiom's individual
elements. In other words, idioms don't mean exactly what the words say. Explore

“Children inherit the qualities of the parents, no less than their physical features. Environment does play an important part, but the original capital on which a child starts in life is inherited from its ancestors. I have also seen children successfully surmounting the effects of an evil inheritance. That is due to purity being an inherent attribute of the soul.
Polak and I had often very heated discussions about the desirability or otherwise of giving the children an English education. It has always been my conviction that Indian parents who train their children to think and talk in English from their infancy betray their children and their country. They deprive them of the spiritual and social heritage of the nation, and render them to that extent unfit for the service of the country. Having these convictions, I made a point of always talking to my children in Gujarati. Polak never liked this. He thought I was spoiling their future. He contended, with all the vigour and love at his command, that, if children were to learn a universal language like English from their infancy, they would easily gain considerable advantage over others in the race of life. He failed to convince me. I do not now remember whether I convinced him of the correctness of my attitude, or whether he gave me up as too obstinate. This happened about twenty years ago, and my convictions have only deepened with experience. Though my sons have suffered for want of full literary education, the knowledge of the mother-tongue that they naturally acquired has been all to their and the country’s good, inasmuch as they do not appear the foreigners they would otherwise have appeared. They naturally became bilingual, speaking and writing English with fair ease, because of daily contact with a large circle of English friends, and because of their stay in a country where English was the chief language spoken.”
“I think He made one law of that kind in order that there might be obedience. In all these other matters what you call obeying Him is but doing what seems good in your own eyes also. Is love content with that?”
