1.What is the moral of the story of the man who had locked himself indoors fearing that he slip on a banana peel and die?
Dear student,
As the story has not been provided, the answer is based on your description of it in the question:
Unless we face our fears, we cannot overcome them. Being paranoid about things that we are scared of or wary of is not the solution. We must face our fears and overcome them with perseverance and fortitude. The man has punished himself by locking himself in the house instead of stepping out and making a conscious effort of not stepping on a banana peel.
Regards
