The Two Wolves - Moral Story for Kids

Once upon a time, there was an old Cherokee chief who was teaching his grandson about life. The chief told the boy, "There are two wolves that live inside each of us. One wolf represents anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. The other wolf represents joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith."

The boy listened intently as his grandfather continued, "These two wolves are constantly fighting inside us, and the one that wins is the one we feed."

The boy pondered this for a moment and asked his grandfather, "But which wolf is stronger?"

The old chief replied, "The one you feed."

The moral of the story is that we have the power to choose which wolf to feed inside us. If we focus on negativity and let our anger and resentment grow, it will consume us, and we will become bitter and unhappy. However, if we focus on positive thoughts and actions, we can cultivate love, compassion, and empathy and become better human beings.

The story teaches us that our thoughts and actions determine our reality, and we should always strive to feed the wolf that brings out the best in us. We should focus on cultivating positive traits and emotions such as kindness, empathy, and generosity, and let go of negative ones like anger, envy, and greed.

From that day on, the boy learned to be mindful of his thoughts and actions and to feed the wolf that brought him joy and happiness. He became a kind and compassionate person who inspired others to do the same.
