The Gentle and Weak Can Sometimes Be Cleverer Than Fierce and Strong

A lamb was grazing away from its flock when a wolf approached. The lamb pleaded with the wolf not to eat it yet, claiming its stomach was full of grass and it would taste better later. The wolf agreed to wait. The lamb then suggested dancing to help digest the grass faster. While dancing, the lamb got an idea to have the wolf ring its bell loudly. The shepherd heard the bell and sent dogs to find the missing lamb, scaring away the wolf and saving the lamb.

A lamb was grazing with a flock of sheep one day.

She soon found some sweet grass at the edge of the field. Farther and farther she went, away from the others. She was enjoying herself so much that she did not notice a wolf coming nearer to her. However, when it pounced on her, she was quick to start pleading, Please, please dont eat me yet. My stomach is full of grass. If you wait a while, I will taste much better. The wolf thought that was a good idea, so he sat down and waited. After a while, the lamb said, If you allow me to dance, the grass in my stomach will be digested faster. Again the wolf agreed. While the lamb was dancing, she had a new idea. She said, Please take the bell from around my neck. If you ring it as hard as you can, I will be able to dance even faster. The wolf took the bell and rang it as hard as he could. The shepherd heard the bell ringing nd quickly sent his dogs to find the missing lamb. The barking dogs frightened the wolf away and saved the lambs life. The gentle and weak can sometimes be cleverer than fierce and strong.

As his friends daughter was coming from an errand she found thirty gold coins, when she arrivedhome, she told her father what she had found. The girls father told her that the gold coins belongto his friend and he sent for him. When the selfish man arrived, he told him how his daughter hadfound his thirty gold coins and handed then to him. After counting the gold coins the man said thatten of them was missing and had been taken by the girl as he had forty gold coins. He furthercommented that he will recover the remaining amount from him. But the girls father refused.The man left the gold coins and went to the court and informed the judge there about what hadtaken place between him and the girls father.The judge sent for the girl and her father, and when they arrived asked the girl how many goldcoins did she find. She replied thirty gold coins. The Judge that asked the selfish man how many gold coins did he lose and he answered forty gold coins.The judge then told the man that the gold coins did not belong to him because the girl found thirty and not forty as he claimed to have lost and then told the girl to take the gold coins and that if any- body is looking for them he will send for the girl.The judge told the man that if anybody reports that they have found forty gold coins he will sendfor him. It was then that the man confessed that he lied and that he lost thirty gold coins but the judge did not listen to him. This story teaches us to be always honest as dishonest never pays.
