Once upon a time, in a little garden full of plants and flowers, there was a tree seed living underground.

One day it started to grow and the resulting plant was very ugly and weak, so the whole garden  started laughing at it. The plant wanted to  be like the other ones.

Windy, rainy and sunny days passed and a few years later that plant became a nice tree. 

By the time Spring came the cherry tree bloomed and its flowers became large red cherries. Everyone was amazed by the mouthwatering flavour of its  cherries.

The other plants envied the cherry tree because no one was as beautiful as it. They regretted having laughed  at it.  No one thought it was ever going to become special.

Once upon a time there was a boy who was living on a small island called" the irenic island". He had such a peaceful life surrounded by many beautiful and colorful plants. This island was marvelous however he was lonely. He has never known his parents and there were no animals or other humans on the island he knew.

He was usually climbing trees when he feels sad and wanted to see the sunset. He just thought about a family and a happier life while he was watching the sunset. This was the only thing he was capable of doing.

One day,  he was walking between the plants and talking to himself:

"is there really no one that I can talk to?"

Suddenly, he heard a voice. 

"Don't you see me, little boy?"

He turned around to see who this voice belonged to, in this peaceful and lonely island. It was a beautiful yellow flower! he answered: 

"Oh hello, I didn't think that plants can talk!"

“They can't normally talk, but I can.”said the plant

“Well, how could this be?” said the boy in astonishment.

Flower said, "I have different pollen than other flowers and I can do anything I want with this pollen."

The boy said “Everything?”

Flower said, “Yes, everything. If you want, let's try it, ask me for something.”

“They can't normally talk, but I can.”said the plant

“Well, how could this be?” said the boy in astonishment.

Flower said, "I have different pollen than other flowers and I can do anything I want with this pollen."

The boy said “Everything?”

Flower said, “Yes, everything. If you want, let's try it, ask me for something.”

Okay but there is something that you should know. If you don't give him the value he deserves, he will disappear in time.” said the plant. “What do you mean by that.” said the little boy. “I mean it’s like with people, if you don't spend time with that person, they will move away from you, you will fall apart. He has same feelings with people, he stays with you as much as you love him.” the plant said.

The boy had no one else. He was all alone and he needed someone to spend time with. So he had no other option than accepting what the plant said. He accepted. 

A few seconds later, the boy heard footsteps approaching from behind. He turned around and he was shocked. That was the most beautiful fox he has ever seen in his life. He was speechless. He turned around again to thank the plant but the plant wasn’t there, it had disappeared. 

The boy went near the fox and said:

- You’re now my best friend, I promise that I will never leave you.

Then they both walked through the plants while watching the sunset. 

They became really good friends. They never, ever left each other…

It was just another gloomy Wednesday afternoon.

Benjamin was sitting grief-stricken on the sofa, nervously smoking one cigarette after the other.

Two months have passed since Lisa died in that stupid car accident. Benjamin had been shattered ever since, and once the oevrjoyed man turned into a shadow of his own fomer self.  

All of a sudden, he heard a faint noise from under the door. He stood up and went to the door. It was a medium-sized, caramel coloured dog. 

"Get lost!" shouted Benjamin bitterly, "There's no need of any hungry mouths here", added he, closing the door. 

For six ongoing days, the dog stayed on the threshold of Benjamin's.

But on the seventh morning, it completely vanished. 

Benjamin desperately called all shelters for stray animals from Brighton, hoping that he finds the mysterious dog. Finally, he seemed to have found it.

"- Lissy!", said Benjamin in tears, when he recognized the loyal dog. "Let's go home!"

"Today, I adopted a man. He wa so lonely, I am happy that I managed to put a smile on his face", thought Lissy on the way to her new home. 

If you root yourself in love and kindness, your heart will always bloom!

                   The King and The Sage

 Once upon a time,There was a king who lived in a distant land.The name of this king was Ayazhan. He was very arrogant and selfish.He constantly looked at himself in the mirror, did whatever he wanted,and pressured his people not to rebel. Meanwhile,he made many mistakes,because of his oppressive attitude, the public was afraid to tell the truth.

      Again,one day,while the king,whom his people were afraid to talk about,was tormenting a man just because someone was againts him.An old man with white hair and a white beard emerged from the crowd. This man was loved by the public, he never lied ,he was honest,reliable and good-humored. 

This old Man grabbed the arm of the king just as the king was hitting the poor Man.The king was angry, asked who were you to interfere in my business and said I was the king of this country. Then the old Man said : "You are the king of the country but you are  making a mistake.He is not guilty.Strong and good kings do not decide in their favor,they try to understand  their people and be fair to people . Before you criticize your people and get angry  at them , you should do self - criticism, so you take the first step towards becoming a beloved king. ‘ said the old man.' Hearing these words , the king left the old man with a strange expression and left without saying anything .

The king, who had been thinking about what he had done for days, was cut off without eating or drinking, retreating to his room and just questioning himself. He was trying to make sense of his tyranny, putting his people in the background and only caring about his own thoughts, selfishness and being so arrogant. But he couldn't find anything meaningful. Hearing that he was so thoughtful, the leading sage of the people decided to visit the king. And the next day he went to visit the king. The king welcomed him and offered treats. He was glad that the old sage came. He talked to someone and asked questions in his mind. He thought it would be good for him to find an answer.

The wise man said to the king: "A person, by nature, does not see his own shortcomings and weaknesses; even if he sees it, he cannot evaluate it impartially, but when he notices the same faults in another person, he immediately judges that person.

However, a person should not judge others directly. Because when the mirror of truth is held to himself, he may be in a difficult situation." Contemplating these words again, the king finally agreed with the sage and regretted what he had done to his people for so long and thought about how to make up for this mistake. The next day he decided to give a speech to his people again.  Before the speech began, the people were very nervous and afraid of theking, but when the king started his speech with an apology, the fear of the people gave way to comfort. In the continuation of his speech, the king talked about the innovations he would make for his country and promised to treat his people justly and well from now on. The people and the king had always lived in peace and happiness after that.
