Inspirational Short Stories With Moral Lessons


1- Chicken Tenderness Story

inspirational stories with moral lessons

A fire broke out a few miles from the dwelling of an American farmer, and it was difficult to control at that time. The fire was heading towards his field, and he started thinking about what to do. If the fire reached his property, it would burn the house and the animal barn, and he would lose everything.

The farmer decided to burn the field surrounding his house in a controlled manner because the fields contained dry wheat. If the fire caught the wheat, it would spread quickly and destroy everything. The farmer successfully burned the field without causing harm to his house.

After the fire subsided, he started walking through his burned field and saw a partially burned chicken. He looked at her sadly, and tears filled his eyes when he saw a bird that had died without guilt. In an involuntary motion, he moved the chicken with his foot, and to his surprise, a group of small chicks ran out.

The farmer cried as he looked at the chicken, which had shielded her young with her body. She burned without moving her wings or attempting to escape, enduring the flames to protect her chicks, while he mourned his material losses.

stories with moral lessons

A brother and his sister graduated in the same academic year: the boy from the Faculty of Engineering, and the girl from the Faculty of Foreign Languages, Department of French Language.

After a period of job searching, the engineer secured a position at a construction company, but his sister struggled to find a job due to the poor tourism situation in the country.

Over time, the sister became frustrated, while her brother started buying a new phone, new clothes, and even planned to purchase a car. Signs of hatred and jealousy began to appear on her face towards her brother, even though he was not at fault for her struggles.

One day, the sister said to her brother, "I will create a translation website on the Internet, and I will translate texts from French to English and vice versa for anyone who needs it." She followed through, creating an online page.

Within a week, someone sent her texts to translate and paid her $100 for each one. This continued multiple times, and her once-desperate condition improved. She bought everything she wanted and started trying to prove to her brother that she was better than him.

One day, the sister entered her brother’s room to borrow his mobile charger. While searching, she found a set of papers in French on his desk. As she began reading them, she realized they were the same texts she had been asked to translate. She understood that her brother had been the one sending her work to help her.

She regretted treating her brother badly, even though he had always treated her with kindness. She realized the depth of his love for her.

Whoever does not love his brother, whom he can see, how can he love God, whom he has not seen?

5- We Don't Need Him, Inspirational Story

short stories with moral

James Smithson was born in 1765 in France and was an illegitimate son of a famous English duke of the dynasty of King Henry VII. Because he was an illegitimate son, he was deprived of English citizenship and his father's inheritance.

Despite society's rejection of this young man, he worked hard and succeeded in his life until he became one of the leaders of English scientists and a member of the Royal Society at the age of twenty-two.

James died in 1829 without marrying and left a great fortune estimated at more than 500,000 US dollars. His nephew thought this wealth was his right, and the Royal Society thought that James had recommended much of his inheritance to its account. However, when the will was published, everyone was shocked.

James wrote: "As England rejected me, I rejected it too." In order to declare his extreme contempt for those who mistreated him, he gave everything he owned for the benefit of the American government to establish a scientific institute in this emerging country.

Indeed, the American Congress established the Smithsonian Institution in Washington in 1846, and this institution became famous throughout the world.

England made a huge mistake when they underestimated this young man because he was an illegitimate boy and thought they had no need for him, losing much in the process.

inspirational moral stories

One of the champions of car racing, an Argentine national, won the world championship and was able to drive at a speed of 150 miles per hour, winning international prizes on the roads of Europe at that time.

He could have sped up and overtaken them by great distances, but he did not use his superior skills in the race. Instead, he slowed down and let them precede him so they wouldn’t get hurt.

This hero could change the car’s track in only ten seconds, and despite that, he raced with the young people slowly, letting them overtake him to ensure their cars would not rush and overturn.
 

7- The Story Of The Songbirds

inspiring short stories with moral

Early in the morning, the father was looking out the window as usual. The kid asked his father, "Why do you look out the window so much every morning, Dad?"

The father replied, "I admire the songbirds that stand together on the telephone wire, sing, and then fly to look for food."

Son: "What else do you like about these birds, Dad?"

Father: "I think they are the happiest creatures on earth because they stand above telephone wires. These wires carry many conversations that cross from house to house and from village to village, containing happy and sad conversations. But all this news and all these conversations pass under the feet of the birds, and the birds do not lose their inner peace."

Dear brother,
Put the news of the world under your feet, ignore it as these birds do, and do not let it break your heart, occupy your mind, or threaten your inner peace and psychological comfort.

10- An Inspiring Story About Daughter's Love

short inspirational stories with moral

There was an elderly mother of about 70 years; her health condition deteriorated very badly, so her two daughters took her to the hospital. The doctor said to her eldest daughter that she must undergo an operation immediately, and the cost of this operation was $20,000.

The eldest daughter asked him, "What is the success rate of this operation?" He replied, "Thirty percent, especially since she is of advanced age."

The older sister said to her younger sister, "$20,000 is a huge sum for us."

The younger sister said, "You pay half the amount, and I’ll pay the other half, and we’ll perform the operation for her."

The older sister said to her, “How can I pay $10,000 for something that is expected to fail? I have two children, and they need every cent I have. If God wants her to live, she will live without the operation, and if He does not want, she will die even if we perform it for her in the best hospital in the world.”

The younger sister cried because of the cruelty of her sister's heart. She sold her car and took some money from her friends until the amount was completed, and she gave the doctor the price of the operation. The operation succeeded, and the mother remained in the hospital for two days, but before leaving, her condition worsened again, and she died instantly.

The older sister told her younger sister, "You have lost all your money and become indebted to your friends, even though I warned you about the failure of the operation."

The younger sister said, "I lost my money and gained my mother's satisfaction. Before she died, she said to me, ‘Thank you, my little daughter, for not leaving me at the end of my days.’ In addition to that, my mother gave me the house where she lived to pay the debts of the operation and the cost of the funeral."


11- The Painful Trick Story

inspirational stories with moral

There was a widow who had an only son, and after she raised him and educated him, he decided to leave her and travel. She said to him with tears in her eyes, "Will you leave me to live alone?"

He said to her, "Forgive me, my mother, and do not stand in the way of my future."

After he traveled, she always sent him letters to check on him, but he did not respond to her. So the mother thought of a clever trick, which was to send him a letter saying, "My beloved son, I inherited from my uncle a large piece of land and I have a lot of money. So if you need anything, send me a letter."

Indeed, the plan succeeded, and he sent her a letter every week asking for money, and she was sending him all the money he needed. The mother was not sad about her son’s attitude; she was very happy that he began addressing her constantly, although he was addressing her for his own benefit and not out of love or sympathy for her.

After about three months, the mother's messages stopped. He sent her one letter after another, but no response came from her. So he called one of her neighbors, and the neighbor told him that she had died.

The son returned from his travels to inherit the rest of his mother's money, but he found a strange man living in her house! When he asked him about his identity, the man told him, "Your mother sold me this house three months ago."

The neighbors informed him that her condition had worsened, and she became very sick in her last days. She sold all her belongings and furniture, then sold the house. When she became ill, she did not care about her health but was sleeping in the street, and no one knew where she had spent all the money she got from what she sold.

The young man collapsed and felt great remorse. He cried so much because he realized that his mother had done all this just to hear his voice!

12- A Story About Tithes And Offering

inspirational stories with moral lessons

There was a very rich man, but he was very stingy. Many poor people came to beg him to help them solve their problems, but he evaded them and always said to himself, "I collected all this wealth with my efforts, and I am not ready to leave it to be distributed to the poor for nothing."

One day, this rich man was walking along the road when he was hit by a speeding car that knocked him down. Passers-by rushed to help and took him to the city hospital. He remained under the care of a doctor and an elderly nurse. This old nurse was very kind and stayed by his side, taking care of him until he began to wake up from his coma.

The rich man regained consciousness but had lost his memory and could not remember anything about his previous life. The doctor said, "His memory is almost completely gone, and we do not know anyone to inform about his condition. By being here, he is taking the place of other people who may need it more than he does. He is now able to move, and we are in a critical situation."

The old nurse suggested taking the man to his house and caring for him until his memory returned or one of his relatives came to claim him. The doctor agreed after receiving approval from the hospital administration, which allowed the nurse to take the patient with him.

The old nurse brought the patient to his house, which was a hut made of wicker and straw, located far away and isolated from the city. The rich man looked at the house with contempt and said, "You call this a house?"

The nurse replied calmly, "Do you have a better one?"

The rich man smiled and said, "I don't remember if I had a house or if I was a beggar in the streets."

The old man said, "From now on, this is your new home. You will stay here until your memory comes back to you, and you remember everything."

The rich man asked, "Do you earn enough from your job to cover all your needs?"

The old man said, "I sell newspapers in the morning and work as a nurse at night. I live a fairly good life."

Days passed. One day, the old man found an announcement in a newspaper with a picture of the rich man. The ad said that the rich man was from a large family, and they were looking for him. The old man hurried to tell the rich man the news. The rich man rejoiced and went with the old man to the address written in the newspaper.

When the rich man arrived at his family’s home, he said goodbye to the old man and thanked him profusely. The old man returned alone to his simple life, selling newspapers by day and nursing at night.

Several months passed, and the rich man’s memory returned. When he resumed his work, he said to his secretary, "First, give me all the requests from the poor to read." Then he hastened to fulfill them.

One of the requests was from a poor father who wished to enroll his son in school but was financially unable. The rich man rushed to the father’s address and gave him enough money.

Another request was from a husband who wanted to treat his sick wife for a serious illness but could not afford it. The rich man went to his house and gave him enough money for the operation and treatment.

Yet another request was from someone whose house had been destroyed in an earthquake, forcing him to live in a simple shelter without water or electricity. When the rich man went to the address to help him and provide money for a new house, he found it was the old nurse's hut—the one who had sheltered and cared for him months ago.

Dear Reader,
Imagine what the rich man did for the old nurse. Do not wait to taste poverty to feel the suffering of the poor. If the rich man had helped this old nurse from the beginning, the nurse would have lived in a more suitable place when he received and cared for the rich man. But God wanted the rich man to experience poverty so that he could help others after understanding their struggles.
