Oswald is a safety-conscious but fun-loving octopus who lives in an apartment complex in Big City with his dog, Weenie. His neighborhood is peopled with colorful characters like his pal, Henry the Penguin, Madame Butterfly, who runs the Big Diner, and her daughter, Catrina Caterpillar. Oswald likes to play the piano and sing, and he always does whatever he can to help his friends and neighbors.

This is my favorite cartoon where I always enjoy my T.V. time with oswald shows…

But after growing up, I saw this but not only enjoying but also thinking that what this Oswald charecter teaches. And in every episode, this show gives us some moral principle which is very much needed for life in a very sweet, lovely, and easy way.

SOME LESSONS WHAT I HAVE LEARNT:

(1) KINDNESS: He always will be sported with a broad smile. And greeting everyone irrespective of their standing by removing his hat.

(2)CARING: He always cares his friends with complete happiness. And also he does not expect anything in return. This particular episode where HENRY, the penguin becomes sick and OSWALD tries his maximum to make Henry feel better. He makes soup and cares him

(3) HONESTY: Oswald was very honest. He never claimed his right on someone else’s possessions, and honestly returned whatever didn’t belong to him. The Polka Dot Umberella episode clearly brings out Oswald’s Honesty. Here is the link of this episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6k9v6W7ACZ8

(4) SHARING: Oswald believed in sharing. In one of the episodes, Oswald happens to grow a large banana in his garden, which he shares with all his friends. Oswald is seen to be a sharing personality who is completely selfless. Have shared the link here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cex_P-Ygf_c

(5) OPTIMISTIC: Oswald the Octopus was very optimistic. He found the good aspect in the worse of situations. He never gets disappointed and has full faith in positivity. He is also helpful

In this episode, he tries his best with positvity to find the mama duck. And here is the link!!!! : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojT2xuI4hyQ

So people here this blog shows that everything has some message in it. As I told in my previous blog[https://medium.com/@basmohana30/live-the-present-266bb1baa6e5] that everything in out life leaves a message.

See these episodes and enjoy it with learning something out of it, as we always stay young in learning life.
