This is an adaptation of a few stories narrated by Swami Vivekananda to his audiences. The stories have been retold, giving their imaginary characters familiar names of men and women, thus bringing them close to us and making them more intimate, living and personal. There is a moral at the end of each tale. With excellent illustrations which further embellish the tales, this book is specially meant for children.
Nature grinds all of us. Keep count of the ounce of pleasure you get. In the long run, nature did her work through you, and when you die your body will make other plants grow. Yet we think all the time that we are getting pleasure ourselves. Thus the wheel goes round.
-Swami Vivekananda
