The Clever Fox

One day, a fox is very hungry.

He walks in the forest.

He sees a big tree.

On the tree, there is a crow.

The crow has a piece of cheese in her mouth.

The fox wants the cheese.

He thinks, “How can I get the cheese?”

The fox smiles and says,

“Hello, beautiful crow!

You have nice feathers.

You are a pretty bird.

Can you sing for me?”

The crow is happy.

She wants to sing.

She opens her mouth —

The cheese falls down!

The fox takes the cheese and runs away.

The crow is sad.

Moral:

Be careful with people who say too many nice words.

Even though he couldn’t move his legs and had no feeling in them, he kept believing that one day, he would walk again. His mother helped him every day by massaging his legs. At first, there was no change. But the boy didn’t stop trying. One sunny day, his ...

The Merchant and the Donkey

Image
One bright spring morning, a merchant loaded his donkey with heavy sacks of salt and set off for the market. As they walked, they came to a river. The donkey slipped, fell into the water, and quickly climbed out. To its surprise, the load felt much lighter — the salt had dissolved. The merchant went back home and reloaded the donkey with fresh sacks of salt. When they reached the same river, the donkey pretended to slip. Again, the salt was ruined, and the merchant returned home frustrated. Realizing the donkey was playing a trick, the merchant decided to teach it a lesson. This time, he loaded the animal with large sponges. When they reached the river, the donkey “slipped” once more. But instead of feeling lighter, the load grew heavier as the sponges soaked up water. The merchant chuckled and said, “Clever tricks don’t work forever, my friend.”
