The Boy Who Cried Wolf
There was once a young shepherd boy who tended his sheep at the foot of a mountain near a dark
forest. 1 It was lonely for him watching the sheep all day. No one was near, except for three farmers
he could sometimes see working in the fi elds
In the valley bellow
One day the boy thought of a plan that would help him get a little company and have some fun. 3 He
ran down toward the valley crying, “Wolf! Wolf!”
The men ran to meet him, and after they found out there was no wolf after all, one man remained to
talk with the boy awhile.
The boy enjoyed the company so much that a few days later he tried the same prank again, and
agaim the men ran to help him.
A few days later, a real wolf came from the forest and began to steal the sheep. The startled 6 boy
ran toward the valley, and more loudly than ever he cried, “Wolf! Wolf!”
But the men, who had been fooled twice before, thought that the boy was tricking them again. So no
one came to help the boy save his sheep.
Moral: If you often don’t tell the truth, people won’t believe you even when you are telling the truth.
2.The Goose And The Golden Eggs
Once a farmer went to the nest of his goose and found there an egg, all yellow and shiny. When he
picked it up, it was heavy as a rock. 1 He was about to throw it away because he thought that
someone was playing a trick on him. 2 But on second thought, he took it home, and discovered to his
delight that it was an egg of pure gold!
He sold the egg for a lot of money. Every morning the goose laid another golden egg,and the
farmer soon became rich by selling the eggs.
As he grew rich, he also grew greedy. 6 “Why should I have to wait to get only one egg a day?” he
thought. “I will cut open the goose and take all the eggs out of her at once.”
When the goose heard the farmer’s plan, she fl ew away to a nearby farm. So when the farmer came
out the next day, do you know what he found in the goose’s nest? 8 Nothing.
Moral:Someone who wants more often loses all. When you want something, be patient.If you are
greedy, you might lose what you already have.
3.A Wolf And A Dog
"Chained up!" cried the wolf, "Do

you mean that you are chained up at
night? If I come to live with you,will I
be chained up at night too?”
That's right," answered the dog. "But,
You'll get used to it soon Once there
was a wolf who was nearly dead with
hunger. He was very thin, so that the
outline of his bones could be seen clearly beneath his thinning coat of hair. With hardly enough
energy to walk, the wolf had little hope of finding food. As he lay beneath a large tree, a dog out for
a walk noticed him. Seeing how thin and hungry-looking the wolf was, the dog felt sorry for him and
said, "You are in terrible shape! You look as if you haven`t eaten for many days.”
"You're right," said the wolf. "I haven't eaten because you and your friends are doing such a
good job of guarding the sheep. Now I am so weak that I have little hope of finding food. I think I Will
surely die.”
Then why not join us? Asked the dog. "I work regularly and I eat regularly. You could do the same. I
will arrange it. You can help me and the other dogs guard the sheep. In that way, we won't have to
worry about your stealing the sheep any more and you won't have to worry about going hungry any
more. It's a good deal for both of us."
The wolf thought it over for a few minutes and then decided that the dog was right. So they went off
together toward the ranch house where the dog lived. But, as they were walking, the wolf noticed
that the hair on a certain part of the dog's neck was very thin. He was curious about this, for the dog
had such a beautiful coat every where else finally,he asked the dog about it.
"Oh, don't worry about that," said the dog. "It's the place where the collar rubs on my neck when my
master chains me up at night.”
enough. I hardly think about it anymore.”
"But, if I am chained up, then I won't be able to walk when I want to take a walk or to run where I
want to run," the wolf said. "If I come to live with you, I won't be free anymore." After saying this,
the wolf turned and ran away.
Moral:Freedom is everthying!
4. A Fox and A Cat
One day a cat and a fox were having a conversation. The fox, who was a conceited creature,
boasted how clever she was. 'Why, I know at least a hundred tricks to get away from our mutual
enemies, the dogs,' she said.
'I know only one trick to get away from dogs,' said the cat. 'You should teach me some of yours!'
'Well, maybe some day, when I have the time, I may teach you a few of the simpler ones,' replied the
fox airily.
Just then they heard the barking of a pack of dogs in the distance. The barking grew louder and
louder - the dogs were coming in their direction! At once the cat ran to the nearest tree and climbed
into its branches, well out of reach of any dog. 'This is the trick I told you about, the only one I know,'
said the cat. 'Which one of your hundred tricks are you going to use?'
The fox sat silently under the tree, wondering which trick she should use. Before she could make up
her mind, the dogs arrived. They fell upon the fox and tore her to pieces.
Moral : A single plan that works is better than a hundred doubtful plans.
5. A Mouse and A lion

Once, as a lion lay sleeping in his den, a naughty little mouse ran up his tail, onto his back, up
his mane and danced and jumped on his head, so that the lion woke up.
lion angry grabbed the mouse and, holding him in his large claws, roared in anger. 'How dare you
wake me up! Don't you know that I am King of the Beasts? Anyone who disturbs my rest deserves to
die! I shall kill you and eat you!'
The terrified mouse, shaking and trembling, begged the lion to let him go. 'Please don't eat me Your
Majesty! I did not mean to wake you, it was a mistake. I was only playing. Please let me go - and I
promise I will be your friend forever. Who knows but one day I could save your life?'
The lion looked at the tiny mouse and laughed. 'You save my life? What an absurd idea!' he said
scornfully. 'But you have made me laugh, and put me into a good mood again, so I shall let you go.'
And the lion opened his claws and let the mouse go free.
'Oh thank you, your majesty,' squeaked the mouse, and scurried away as fast as he could.
A few days later the lion was caught in a hunter's snare. Struggle as he might, he couldn't break free
and became even more entangled in the net of ropes. He let out a roar of anger that shook the
forest. Every animal heard it, including the tiny mouse.
The mouse was rushing to the source of its roar and he found the lion was powerless. The mouse
then bit the rope that cought the lion so that the lion can escape from the trap. The lions are very
grateful to the mouse, and they became friends best forever.
Moral: Even a small help would be very meaningful.
