The Turtoise and the Foolish Rabbit

Once upon a time, in a beautiful forest, there lived a rabbit

and a turtle. The rabbit was fast and proud. He often told the

other animals, "I am the fastest in the forest. No one can beat

me!" The turtle, on the other hand, was slow but wise. He never

boasted, and he was kind to everyone.

One day, the rabbit laughed at the turtle, saying, "Turtle,

you are so slow! I can run to the other side of the forest before

you can take ten steps!"

The turtle smiled calmly and said, "You may be fast, Rabbit,

but I believe that slow and steady wins the race."

The rabbit laughed harder. "How can you win when you are so

slow? Let's race tomorrow! I will show everyone that I am the

fastest."
 The turtle agreed, and the next day, all the animals gathered

to watch the race. The race was from the big oak tree to the

river. The rabbit started running as soon as the race began,

speeding like the wind. The turtle, as always, walked slowly but

steadily. ใบงานและสื่อการสอน by T.Newday

The rabbit ran so fast that soon, he was far ahead of the

turtle. He looked back and could not even see the turtle. "This is

too easy!" the rabbit thought. "I have so much time. I'll take a

nap." So, the rabbit lay down under a tree and quickly fell asleep.

The turtle kept walking, step by step, never stopping. He

passed the sleeping rabbit and continued towards the river. After

a while, the rabbit woke up. He looked around and laughed. "The

turtle must still be far behind!" he thought. But when he looked

ahead, he saw the turtle nearing the finish line!

 The rabbit ran as fast as he could, but it was too late. The

turtle crossed the finish line just before the rabbit could catch

up. ใบงานและสื่อการสอน by T.Newday

The animals cheered for the turtle, and the rabbit was very

embarrassed. The turtle smiled and said, "You see, Rabbit, slow

and steady wins the race."

From that day on, the rabbit never made fun of anyone for

being slow, and he learned that speed is not always the most

important thing. The turtle taught everyone that patience and

determination can help you reach your goal, even if you take your

time.
 Little Red Riding Hood

Once upon a time, there was a little girl who lived in a small

village. She always wore a red cloak with a hood, so everyone

called her Little Red Riding Hood.

One day, her mother said, “Take this basket of food to your

grandmother’s house. She’s not feeling well. Remember to stay on

the path and don’t talk to strangers.”

“Of course, Mother,” Little Red Riding Hood said and set off

through the woods. ใบงานและสื่อการสอน by T.Newday

As she walked, Little Red Riding Hood met a wolf. He seemed

friendly, so she stopped to talk.

“Good morning,” the wolf said. “Where are you going?”

“I’m going to visit my grandmother,” Little Red Riding Hood

replied. “She’s sick, and I’m bringing her some food.”

 The wolf thought for a moment. “Where does your

grandmother live?” he asked.

“She lives in a cottage at the end of the path, deep in the

woods,” Little Red Riding Hood answered.

The wolf grinned slyly. “What a nice idea. Why don’t you pick

some flowers for her along the way?”

Little Red Riding Hood thought this was a good idea and left

the path to gather flowers. Meanwhile, the wolf hurried ahead to

the grandmother’s house.

ใบงานและสื่อการสอน by T.Newday
When the wolf arrived, he knocked on the door.

“Who is it?” the grandmother called from inside.

“It’s me, Little Red Riding Hood,” the wolf said in a sweet

voice.

“Come in, dear,” said the grandmother.

 The wolf rushed inside, and before the grandmother could

react, he locked her in a closet. Then, he put on her clothes and

got into her bed, pretending to be her.

A little while later, Little Red Riding Hood arrived at the

cottage. She knocked on the door.

“Who is it?” the wolf asked, imitating the grandmother’s

voice.
ใบงานและสื่อการสอน by T.Newday
“It’s me, Little Red Riding Hood,” she said. “I’ve brought you

some food.”

“Come in, dear,” the wolf replied.

When Little Red Riding Hood entered, she noticed something

strange about her grandmother.

“Grandmother, what big ears you have!” she said.

“All the better to hear you with, my dear,” the wolf replied.
 “Grandmother, what big eyes you have!”

“All the better to see you with.”

“Grandmother, what big teeth you have!”

“All the better to eat you with!” the wolf roared, jumping

out of bed.
ใบงานและสื่อการสอน by T.Newday
Just then, a hunter passing by heard the noise. He rushed in,

chased the wolf away, and rescued the grandmother from the

closet.

Little Red Riding Hood and her grandmother were safe, and

they thanked the hunter for his help.

 Jack and the Beanstalk

Once upon a time, there was a poor boy named Jack who

lived with his mother. One day, Jack’s mother said, “We have no

money left, Jack. You must sell our cow at the market.”

Jack took the cow and walked to town. On his way, he met a

strange old man. The man said, “I will give you five magic beans

for your cow.”

ใบงานและสื่อการสอน by T.Newday
Jack thought, “Magic beans sound exciting!” He quickly

agreed and traded the cow for the beans. When Jack returned

home, his mother was angry. “How could you trade our cow for

beans?” she cried. She threw the beans out of the window in

disappointment.

The next morning, Jack woke up and saw an enormous

beanstalk reaching high into the sky. Without thinking, Jack

started climbing the beanstalk. Up and up he went, until he

reached the clouds.

 At the top, Jack found a giant’s castle. He knocked on the

door, and a giant woman opened it. “Quick, come inside,” she said.

“My husband is a giant, and he loves to eat boys like you!”

Just then, Jack heard the giant’s heavy footsteps. Thump,

thump, thump! The giant woman hid Jack inside a cupboard.

The giant stomped into the room and said, “Fee-fi-fo-fum, I

smell the blood of an Englishman!” But his wife said, “You’re

imagining things. There’s no one here.”

The giant sat down to eat. Afterward, he counted his gold

coins. Soon, he fell asleep. Jack quietly crept out of the cupboard,

grabbed a bag of gold, and climbed down the beanstalk.

Back home, Jack’s mother was delighted with the gold, but

Jack was curious about the beanstalk. The next day, he climbed it

again. ใบงานและสื่อการสอน by T.Newday

 This time, Jack saw the giant with a golden hen that laid eggs

made of solid gold. While the giant slept, Jack snuck in and stole

the hen.

Jack’s mother was overjoyed to see the golden hen, but

Jack wasn’t finished yet. On his third trip up the beanstalk, Jack

found the giant playing a magical harp that could sing by itself.

As Jack grabbed the harp, it cried out, “Master, help! I’m being

stolen!”
ใบงานและสื่อการสอน by T.Newday
The giant woke up and chased Jack. Jack rushed down the

beanstalk with the giant close behind. When Jack reached the

ground, he grabbed an axe and chopped down the beanstalk. The

giant fell to the ground with a great crash, never to be seen again.

Jack and his mother lived happily ever after, thanks to the

magic beans.
 The Lion and the Mouse

Once upon a time, in a dense forest, there lived a mighty

lion, the king of all animals. One day, after a large meal, the lion

decided to take a nap under a shady tree. As he lay resting, a

little mouse came scurrying through the grass.

The mouse, not watching where it was going, ran right over

the lion’s paw. The lion awoke with a start, and in one swift

motion, trapped the tiny mouse under his huge paw. The mouse

trembled with fear as the lion lifted it up by its tail.

“How dare you disturb my nap?” the lion roared. “I could

crush you in an instant!”

ใบงานและสื่อการสอน by T.Newday
The little mouse squeaked in panic, “Please, mighty lion, don’t

eat me! I didn’t mean to wake you. If you let me go, I promise I’ll

help you one day.”

 The lion laughed loudly. “You? Help me? How could such a small

creature like you help the king of the jungle?”

But as the lion looked at the trembling mouse, he softened.

“Very well,” said the lion. “I’ll let you go. But remember your

promise.”

The mouse quickly scampered away, grateful to be alive.

Some time later, the lion was walking through the forest

when he stepped into a hunter’s trap. A thick net fell down from

the trees, entangling him. No matter how hard the lion struggled,

he couldn’t free himself. He roared and roared, but none of the

animals dared come near.

ใบงานและสื่อการสอน by T.Newday
Hearing the lion’s roars from a distance, the little mouse ran

to the scene. “Don’t worry, mighty lion! I will help you!” the mouse

squeaked.
 The lion, exhausted and hopeless, looked down at the tiny

mouse. “How can you help me?” he asked.

The mouse quickly began to gnaw at the ropes of the net

with its sharp teeth. Little by little, the ropes weakened and

finally snapped. Soon, the mighty lion was free.

The lion stood up, amazed. “You’ve saved my life, little one,”

he said. “I underestimated you.”

The mouse smiled and said, “Even the smallest creatures can

help the greatest.”

ใบงานและสื่อการสอน by T.Newday
The lion nodded in agreement. “You kept your promise, and

for that, I am grateful. From now on, we shall be friends.”

And so, the lion and the mouse, once enemies, became the

best of friends. The lion learned that kindness is never wasted,

and even the smallest among us can make a big difference.

 The Dog and the Shadow

Once upon a time, there was a little dog who roamed the village

streets in search of food. One lucky day, he found a large, juicy

bone lying on the ground. Excited by his find, the dog picked it up

in his mouth and trotted off to find a quiet place to enjoy his

treat. ใบงานและสื่อการสอน by T.Newday

He wandered through the village and soon found a path leading

toward a river. The dog, with the bone clutched tightly in his

mouth, walked across a wooden bridge that stretched over the

water. As he was halfway across the bridge, he glanced down and

noticed his reflection in the river below.

To his surprise, he saw another dog in the water, holding what

seemed to be an even bigger and juicier bone than his own! The

little dog’s eyes widened in greed. "That bone looks tastier than

mine!" he thought. "I must have it too!"

Not realizing that the “other dog” was simply his reflection in the

water, the greedy dog decided to bark and scare the "other dog"

into dropping its bone. Without thinking, he opened his mouth to

bark at the reflection, and as he did, his own bone slipped out and

fell into the river with a loud splash.

The dog panicked as he watched the bone sink beneath the

surface of the water, disappearing into the depths. He barked and

barked, but the water only rippled back at him, carrying no bone

and no other dog. It was then that the poor dog realized his

mistake—there was no other dog, only his reflection, and now his

precious bone was gone forever.

ใบงานและสื่อการสอน by T.Newday
The little dog sat sadly by the edge of the river, regretting his

foolishness. If only he had been content with what he had, he

would still have his delicious bone. But now, because of his greed

and his desire for more, he was left with nothing.

With a heavy heart, the dog walked back home, empty-mouthed

and hungry. He had learned an important lesson: sometimes, in

chasing after more, we lose what we already have.

 The Three Little Pigs

Once upon a time, there were three little pigs who set off

to build their own houses. The first pig was lazy and decided to

build his house out of straw. “It’s easy, and it will be done quickly,”

he thought. Soon enough, his house was complete, and he rested

happily.
ใบงานและสื่อการสอน by T.Newday
The second pig, though a bit more cautious, wasn’t too

concerned either. He built his house out of sticks. “It’s stronger

than straw, and it won’t take much time,” he said to himself. In no

time, he was done and felt quite proud of his work.

Now, the third pig was the most hardworking and thoughtful

of all. He knew there was danger in the woods, so he built his

house out of bricks. “It’s tough and strong. It may take more

effort, but it will be worth it,” he thought. After many days of

hard work, his sturdy brick house was finished.

 Not long after, a big bad wolf came to the first pig’s straw

house. He knocked on the door and said, “Little pig, little pig, let

me come in!” The first pig replied, “Not by the hair on my chinny

chin chin!” The wolf growled, “Then I’ll huff, and I’ll puff, and I’ll

blow your house in!” And with one mighty breath, the wolf blew

down the straw house. The little pig ran to his brother’s house of

sticks.
ใบงานและสื่อการสอน by T.Newday
The wolf followed, arriving at the second pig’s house. Again,

he knocked and said, “Little pigs, little pigs, let me come in!” The

two pigs replied, “Not by the hairs on our chinny chin chins!” The

wolf snarled, “Then I’ll huff, and I’ll puff, and I’ll blow your house

in!” And with two strong blows, he blew down the house of sticks.

The two pigs ran to their brother’s brick house.

Finally, the wolf reached the third pig’s brick house. He

knocked and said, “Little pigs, little pigs, let me come in!” But all

three pigs shouted, “Not by the hairs on our chinny chin chins!”
 The wolf growled, “Then I’ll huff, and I’ll puff, and I’ll blow

your house in!”

ใบงานและสื่อการสอน by T.Newday
The wolf huffed and puffed with all his might, but no matter

how hard he tried, he couldn’t blow down the brick house.

Exhausted and defeated, the wolf finally gave up and ran away.

The three little pigs were safe inside, and from that day on, they

lived happily ever after in their strong, brick house.

 The Three Little Pigs

Once upon a time, there were three little pigs. One day, they

decided to build their own houses. The first little pig was lazy. He

didn’t want to work hard, so he built his house out of straw. “This

is easy, and I can finish quickly,” he said. Soon, his straw house

was ready, and he was happy.

The second little pig also didn’t want to work very hard. He

built his house out of sticks. “It’s stronger than straw but still

easy to build,” he thought. His stick house was ready soon, and he

was proud of it. ใบงานและสื่อการสอน by T.Newday

The third little pig was different. He wanted to build a

strong house that would keep him safe. He worked very hard and

built his house out of bricks. It took a long time, but when he

finished, his house was strong and solid. The third little pig was

very happy with his brick house.

 One day, a big bad wolf came to the first little pig’s straw

house. He knocked on the door and said, “Little pig, little pig, let

me come in!”

The first pig said, “No, no, not by the hair on my chinny-

chin-chin!”
ใบงานและสื่อการสอน by T.Newday
The wolf said, “Then I’ll huff, and I’ll puff, and I’ll blow your

house in!” And with one big blow, the wolf blew down the straw

house. The first pig ran to his brother’s stick house.

The wolf followed and knocked on the door of the stick house.

“Little pigs, little pigs, let me come in!” he said.

The two pigs answered, “No, no, not by the hair on our

chinny-chin-chin!”

The wolf said, “Then I’ll huff, and I’ll puff, and I’ll blow your

house in!” He blew hard and knocked down the stick house, too.

The two pigs ran to the brick house.

 The wolf followed them to the brick house. He knocked and

said, “Little pigs, little pigs, let me come in!”

All three pigs said, “No, no, not by the hair on our chinny-

chin-chin!”

The wolf said, “Then I’ll huff, and I’ll puff, and I’ll blow your

house in!” But no matter how hard he blew, the brick house stayed

strong. The wolf gave up and ran away.

The three little pigs were safe in their brick house and lived

happily ever after.

 The Ant and the Grasshopper

Once upon a time, in a big green meadow, there lived an ant

and a grasshopper. The ant was very hardworking. Every day, the

ant woke up early to collect food. He carried little grains of

wheat and seeds back to his home. The ant worked all summer,

preparing for the winter when there would be no food.

The grasshopper, on the other hand, was not like the ant.

The grasshopper loved to sing and play. He jumped through the

grass, enjoying the sunshine. He didn’t think about the future.

"Why should I worry about winter now?" the grasshopper said.

"There’s plenty of food everywhere!"

ใบงานและสื่อการสอน by T.Newday
One day, the grasshopper saw the ant working hard. “Ant,

why are you working on such a beautiful day?” the grasshopper

asked. “Come and play with me! There’s no need to work so hard.

Look around, there’s food everywhere.”

 The ant stopped and looked at the grasshopper. “I am

preparing for winter,” the ant said. “When the cold comes, there

will be no food. You should collect food, too, while you can.”

But the grasshopper just laughed. “Why worry about winter

now? It’s far away. I want to enjoy the summer.” Then the

grasshopper went back to playing, singing, and relaxing in the sun.

The ant shook his head and continued working. Every day, the

ant carried more food to his home, storing it for the winter.

Soon, summer ended, and the weather changed. The sun

disappeared, and the wind became cold. Winter came, and snow

covered the meadow. There was no more food on the ground. The

grasshopper was cold and hungry. He had not prepared at all.

One day, the grasshopper knocked on the ant’s door. “Please,

Ant,” the grasshopper said. “I am so hungry. I didn’t collect any

food in the summer. Can you share your food with me?”

ใบงานและสื่อการสอน by T.Newday
 The ant looked at the grasshopper and said, “Grasshopper, I

worked hard all summer while you played. Now I have food, and you

have none. I cannot help you.”

ใบงานและสื่อการสอน by T.Newday
The grasshopper was very sad. He realized too late that he

should have worked during the summer to prepare for the winter.
 The Frogs and the Ox

Once upon a time, in a quiet pond, there lived a group of

frogs. These frogs were small, but they were happy living in their

pond, hopping around and croaking all day long.

One day, as the frogs were playing by the edge of the pond,

they saw something huge in the meadow nearby. It was an ox, a

very big animal. The frogs had never seen anything so large

before. They all stared at the ox, amazed at its size.

One young frog quickly hopped back to the pond to tell the

others. “I saw the biggest animal in the world!” the little frog said

excitedly. “It’s much bigger than any of us!”

The other frogs were curious, but one old frog wasn’t

impressed. His name was Big-Belly. He puffed out his chest and

said, “I can be as big as that ox. Just watch!”

ใบงานและสื่อการสอน by T.Newday
 The young frogs looked at Big-Belly, unsure. Could he really

become as big as the ox? Big-Belly took a deep breath and puffed

up his body. “Look at me now!” he said proudly.

The frogs shook their heads. “No, Big-Belly, you’re not as big

as the ox.”

Big-Belly frowned. “I’ll show you!” he said. He took another,

even bigger breath and puffed himself up even more. “Now I’m as

big as the ox!” he said, looking around.

But the young frogs just laughed. “No, Big-Belly, you’re still

not as big as the ox.” ใบงานและสื่อการสอน by T.Newday

Big-Belly was determined. He wanted to be the biggest frog

of all. So, he took a deep breath, the biggest one he could, and

puffed himself up to his limit. “Now I must be as big as the ox!”

he said.
 Suddenly, there was a loud pop! Big-Belly had puffed himself

up so much that he burst! The other frogs looked at each other

in shock. Big-Belly had tried too hard to be something he wasn’t,

and now he was gone.

The young frogs learned an important lesson that day: it’s

better to be happy with who you are than to try to be something

you are not.
