The Weaver – Moral Story for Kids
The Weaver – A moral story about choices, wisdom, and consequences.
Mandaraka’s weaving machine breaks while he works at home.
A weaver named Mandaraka lived in a city. One day, while he was weaving clothes, the wooden pegs of his weaving machine broke.
Mandaraka heads to the forest to cut wood for new weaving pegs.
He needed new pegs, so he decided to go to the nearby forest to cut some wood.
A tree-spirit begs the weaver not to cut down its home.
When Mandaraka reached the forest, he chose a tree to cut down.
Mandaraka talks with the tree-spirit about needing wood.
Just as he lifted his axe, he heard a voice pleading: “Please stop! This tree is my home. Please don’t cut it down.”
The tree-spirit promises to grant any wish if the tree is spared.
Surprised, Mandaraka asked, “Who are you? I need wood for my weaving machine, so I must cut this tree.”
Mandaraka discusses the tree-spirit’s offer with his friend.
The voice replied, “I am the tree-spirit. If you spare the tree, I will grant you any wish you desire.”
The friend tells the weaver to wish for a kingdom and power.
Mandaraka was unsure and said, “Let me discuss this with my wife and friends before deciding.”
Mandaraka asks his wife for guidance about the wish.
He first went to his friend and told him everything. His friend suggested, “Ask the tree-spirit for a kingdom, and I will serve as your loyal minister.”
His wife suggests asking for more hands and an extra head.
Mandaraka replied, “I should also ask my wife for her opinion.” But his friend insisted, “No, don’t involve her. She may not be able to make a wise decision.”
Mandaraka returns to the tree-spirit with his chosen wish.
Ignoring this advice, Mandaraka went to his wife and explained everything.
The tree-spirit grants the weaver four hands and two heads.
She thought for a while and said, “You are a weaver with two hands. If you had two extra hands and another head, you could weave faster and earn more.”
Transformed, the excited weaver walks proudly toward the city.
Mandaraka liked her idea and returned to the tree-spirit. He prayed, “O great spirit, please give me two more hands and an extra head.”
Villagers panic upon seeing Mandaraka’s unusual form.
The tree-spirit granted his wish instantly. Mandaraka now had four hands and two heads. Happy and excited, he walked back toward the city.
Terrified villagers throw stones and sticks at the weaver.
But when the people saw him with his strange appearance, they were terrified.
Mandaraka loses his life after following poor advice.
Believing he was a dangerous creature, they attacked him with stones and sticks. Sadly, Mandaraka lost his life before he could explain the truth.
