MOUSE DEER AND CROCODILE

One day, Mouse Deer went down to the river to take a drink. But he knew that the
crocodile might be waiting underwater to eat him, so he said out loud. “I wonder if the water’s
warm. I’ll put in my leg and find out.” Of course, Mouse Deer did not put in his leg. He picked
up a stick instead and put one end into the water. Chomp…! Crocodile grabbed the stick and
pulled it underwater. Mouse Deer laughed. “Ha… ha…ha… Stupid crocodile! Can’t you tell the
difference between a stick and a leg?” Then Mouse Deer ran off to drink somewhere else.
In the next day, Mouse Deer wanted to cross the river. He wanted to eat the fruits on the
other side of the river. He saw a floating log in the river. He knew that Crocodile looked like a
log when he floated. Mouse Deer did not want to be eaten by Crocodile when he crosses the
river. He had an idea. He called out loud, “Crocodile!” Crocodile rose from the water, “Hello,
Mouse Deer. Have you come to be my lunch?” Mouse Deer smiled. “Sorry, not today, Crocodile.
I have orders from the King. He wants to invite all the crocodiles in this river to a party. He
wants me to count all the crocodiles so he could prepare enough meal for you.”
“Really…? Tell us what to do,” said Crocodile. “You must line up from this side of the
river to the other side,” said Mouse Deer. Crocodile then got all his friends and family. They
lined up across the river. Mouse Deer then jumped onto Crocodile’s back. “One,” he counted. He
jumped onto the next crocodile, “Two.” And the next crocodile, “Three.” Mouse Deer kept
jumping until he arrived on the other side of the river. “How many are there?” asked Crocodile.
“Just enough,” said Mouse Deer. He laughed as he ran to the forest.

THE WOLF AND 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 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
and saved the lamb’s life.
