Fluke
A fluke is an unexpected stroke of good luck. "It was a fluke to find that fifty dollar bill on the ground, and it made you smile for the rest of the day."

The word fluke was first used in 1857 in reference to a lucky shot at billiards. If something good happens to you by chance when you're not expecting it, that's a fluke. The word fluke can also be used in a negative or insulting way. For example, if your favorite sports team loses an important game, you could complain that it was just a fluke that the other team won — meaning they didn't deserve to win and somehow got lucky.

The Moral
We can choose how to respond in difficult situations.
Asha was getting frustrated and tired of life, so she asked her father what to
do. Her father told her to bring an egg, two tea leaves, and a potato. He then
brought out three vessels, filled them with water, and placed them on the
stove.
Once the water was boiling, he told Asha to place the items into each pot and
keep an eye on them. After 10 minutes, he asked Asha to peel the egg, peel
the potato, and strain the leaves. Asha was left confused.
Her father explained, “Each item was placed into the same circumstance,
boiling water. See how each responded differently?”
He continued, “The egg was soft, but is now hard. The potato was hard, but is
now soft. And the tea leaves, they changed the water itself.”
The father then asked, “When adversity calls, we respond in the same manner
as they have responded. Now, are you an egg, a potato, or tea leaves?”

История:
The Proud Rose
The Moral
Never judge anyone by the way they look.

Once upon a time, in a desert far away, there was a rose who was so proud of
her beautiful looks. Her only complaint was growing next to an ugly cactus.
Every day, the beautiful rose would insult and mock the cactus on his looks, all
while the cactus remained quiet. All the other plants nearby tried to make the
rose see sense, but she was too swayed by her own looks.
One scorching summer, the desert became dry, and there was no water left for
the plants. The rose quickly began to wilt. Her beautiful petals dried up, losing
their lush color.
Looking to the cactus, she saw a sparrow dip his beak into the cactus to drink
some water. Though ashamed, the rose asked the cactus if she could have
some water. The kind cactus readily agreed, helping them both through the
tough summer, as friends.
