Title: The Fox and The Grapes

One day, a fox became very hungry as he went to search for some
food. He searched high and low, but couldn’t nd something that
he could eat.

Finally, as his stomach rumbled, he stumbled upon a farmer’s


wall. At the top of the wall, he saw the biggest, juiciest grapes
he’d ever seen. They had a rich, purple colour, telling the fox they
were ready to be eaten.

To reach the grapes, the fox had to jump high in the air. As he
jumped, he opened his mouth to catch the grapes, but he missed.
The fox tried again but missed yet again.

He tried a few more times but kept failing.

Finally, the fox decided it was time to give up and go home.


While he walked away, he muttered, “I’ m sure the grapes were
sour anyway.”

Title: The Proud Rose

Once upon a time, in a desert far away, there was a rose who was
so proud of her beautiful looks. Her only complaint was growing
next to an ugly cactus.

Every day, the beautiful rose would insult and mock the cactus on
his looks, all while the cactus remained quiet. All the other plants
nearby tried to make the rose see sense, but she was too swayed
by her own looks.

One scorching summer, the desert became dry, and there was no
water left for the plants. The rose quickly began to wilt. Her
beautiful petals dried up, losing their lush colour.

Looking to the cactus, she saw a sparrow dip his beak into the
cactus to drink some water. Though ashamed, the rose asked the
cactus if she could have some water. The kind cactus readily
agreed, helping them both through the tough summer, as friends.

Title: A Wise Old Owl

There was an old owl who lived in an oak tree. Every day, he
observed incidents that occurred around him.

Yesterday, he watched as a young boy helped an old man carry a


heavy basket. Today, he saw a young girl shouting at her mother.
The more he saw, the less he spoke.

As the days went on, he spoke less but heard more. The old owl
heard people talking and telling stories.

He heard a woman saying an elephant jumped over a fence. He


heard a man saying that he had never made a mistake.

The old owl had seen and heard what happened to people. There
were some who became better, some who became worse. But the
old owl in the tree had become wiser, each and every day.

Title: The Bear and The Two Friends

One day, two friends were walking through the forest. They knew
the forest was a dangerous place and that anything could
happen. So, they promised to remain close to each other in case
of any danger.

All of a sudden, a big bear was approaching them. One of the


friends quickly climbed a nearby tree, leaving the other friend
behind.

The other friend did not know how to climb, and instead,
followed common sense. He laid down on the ground and
remained there, breathless, pretending to be dead.

The bear approached the friend lying on the ground. The animal
started to smell his ear before slowly wandering off again because
bears never touch those who are dead.

Soon, the friend who hid in the tree came down. He asked his
friend, “My dear friend, what secret did the bear whisper to you?”
The friend replied, “The bear simply advised me never to believe
a false friend.”
