dc.description.abstractAbstract This study stems from the urgent need of promoting ethical values in the contemporary society, amid growing challenges that threaten social cohesion. It aims to analyze the moral values embedded in the story of "The King of the Jungle and the Little Mouse", as an educational model that reflects the concepts of humility, cooperation, and mutual respect in building a strong and sustainable human community. The significance of the study lies in revealing the profound educational role that folk tales play as effective tools for instilling values and shaping behavior, particularly during early developmental stages. The study adopted and employed the textual analytical method by deconstructing the elements of the story, interpreting its symbols, and examining its moral content in light of modern psychological and sociological theories. The findings indicate that the story offers a deep lesson emphasizing the necessity of integration among individuals despite differences in their abilities or status, and that such values are foundational pillars for achieving social cohesion and collective well-being. Accordingly, the study recommends integrating moral stories into educational curricula and utilizing them as effective tools for cultivating value awareness among younger generations, in addition to encouraging research that explores the impact of folk tales on personality formation and the strengthening of human relationships. Keywords: Moral values, folk tales, humility and cooperation, story-based education, social cohesion.
