Story Nip the evil in the bud: A rich  man  had  a  good  and  obedient  son but  unfortunately  he  fell  into  bad  company at  school. His father  advised  him  to  keep the  bad  boys  at  arm’s  length  but  his  advice fell  flat  on  the  boy. He was  spending   his time  with  bad  boys  and  wasted  his  precious time  in  idle  talks. His father  was  tired  of his  evil  ways. The rich  man  was  painted  to see  the  bad  report  about  his  son  sent  by the  headmaster  of  the  school. The father  thought  of  a  clever  plan. He brought  some  fresh  apples  from  the market. He purchased  a  rotten  apple  also. He asked  the  boy  to  put  the  apples  into  a basket. The father  placed  the  rotten  apple among  them. Next day  the  father  asked  his  son  to  bring  the  basket  of  apples. When the boy  brought  the  basket, he  found  that  all the  apples  had  rotten. The boy  told  his father  that  the  one  bad  apple  had  spoiled all  the  good  apples. The father  advised  the boy  that  just  as  a  rotten  apple  can  spoil  all good  apples, similarly  a  bad  boy  can  ruin the  lives  of  many  good  boys. The boy  learnt a  lesson  and  gave  up  the  company  of  the bad  boys.

MORAL : BETTER ALONE  THAN  IN  A  BAD  COMPANY
