The Best Short Stories

We learn the basic morals only from short story. As children we are quick to understand the do’s and don’ts in our lives only from the stories that our elders tell us. Every part of this globe has its own unique collection of stories. We have done our best in collecting the diverse stories without changing the uniqueness of these stories.
