True Friends
Once upon a time, there were two close friends who were walking through the forest together.
They knew that anything dangerous can happen any time in the forest. So they promised each
other that they would always be together in any case of danger.

Suddenly, they saw a large bear getting closer toward them. One of them climbed a nearby tree
at once. But unfortunately the other one did not know how to climb up the tree. So being led by
his common sense, he lay down on the ground breathless and pretended to be a dead man.

The bear came near the one who was lying on the ground. It smelt in his ears, and slowly left the
place because the bears do not want to touch the dead creatures. After that, the friend on the tree
came down and asked his friend that was on the ground, “Friend, what did the bear whisper into
your ears?” The other friend replied, “Just now the bear advised me not to believe a false friend”.

Moral of the Story – A true friend in need is a friend indeed.

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 someday, 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.

The Fox and The Grapes

One afternoon there was a fox that was walking through the forest and spotted a bunch of grapes
hanging from over a lofty branch. “Just the thing to quench my thirst,” quoted the fox. Taking a
few steps backward, the fox jumped but unfortunately he missed the hanging grapes. Again the
fox took a few paces backward, ran, and tried to reach them but he still failed.

Finally, giving up, the fox turned up his nose and said, “They’re probably sour anyway,” and
proceeded to walk away.

Moral Value: it’s easy to despise what you cannot have.

swallow him directly. "Please, King," begged the Mouse, "Spare me this time and of course I
will never forget your kindness. Someday I may be able to repay you. "The Lion thought that it
was such an amusing idea that he let the poor creature go.

Sometimes later the Lion was caught in a net laid by some hunters. Despite his great strength, the
Lion could not break free. Soon the forest echoed with angry load roars.

make the Lion free "There!" said the Mouse proudly, " You laughed at me when I promised to
repay your kindness, but now you know that even a tiny Mouse can help a mighty Lion."

2. Friend in need is friend indeed.

A Donkey and A Lapdog

Once upon a time there was a farmer who owned a little dog that he keeps constantly by his side
and a donkey, which lived in a warm stable and got plenty of fresh grain and sweet hay. But,
unfortunately the donkey was not satisfied with his condition.

"I slave all day long, hauling wood or pulling the cart to market while the dog sleeps on the
master's lap and eats from his plate!," the donkey grumbled. "Perhaps, he thought, if he behaved
like the dog, his master would reward him with the same life of ease.

That very night, the donkey crept out of the stable and into the house where the farmer sat at
supper. "First I'll frisk about and chase my tail, just as the dog does," thought the donkey. And he
danced about the room, flinging up his hooves until the table toppled over and dishes went
flying.

"Now I'll sit on his lap!" said the donkey, and he put his hooves up on the master's chair.

"Help! Save me from this mad beast!" the terrified farmer bellowed. Then his servants came
running and, with shouts and blows, drove the donkey back to the stable.

"I suppose I' m a fine donkey, "the donkey lamented," but I' ll never be a lapdog!"

Moral of the Story- What's right for one may be wrong for another. So, never try to copy another
person in front of you.

The Ant and the Dove

One hot day, an ant was seeking for some water. After walking around for a moment, she came
to a spring. To reach the spring, she had to climb up a blade of grass. While making her way up,
she slipped and fell unintentionally into the water.

She could have sunk if a dove up a nearby tree had not seen her. Seeing that the ant was in
trouble, the dove quickly put off a leaf from a tree and dropped it immediately into the water
near the struggling ant. Then the ant moved towards the leaf and climbed up there. Soon it
carried her safely to dry ground.
Not long after at that, there was a hunter nearby who was throwing out his net towards the dove,
hoping to trap it in this way.

Guessing what he should do, the ant quickly bit him on the heel. Feeling the pain, the hunter

However, when it pounced on her, she was quick to start pleading, “Please, please don’t 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
and quickly sent his dogs to find the missing lamb. The barking dogs frightened the wolf away
