“Oh, Papa!” the Young Girl ran to her father, crying and holding out her hand.
The Young Girl’s father asked her, “My bonny little girl! What happened?”
The Young Girl said, “Oh Papa! The Hen hurt me! I am so kind to them, yet one of them bites my fingers every time I go to play with them. They are not nice!”
The Young Girl’s father took her small hand in his own large one. “The poor Hens think you have come to harm them or their little children. So they are scared of you and bite in fear. You should he careful. First play with them from a distance.

🍂The Ape and the Bee
Once, an Ape saw thick syrup under a tree. The syrup looked golden in the sunshine. The Ape saw more drops of the syrup falling from a branch of the tree.
The Ape thought, ‘Oh! That must be honey!’
The Ape looked up. He saw high above him, a hive. He also saw that the Bees were buzzing and working together to make honey.
The Ape wished that he could climb up, break off a piece of the hive, chew it and enjoy the fresh honey! But he did not move at all. He sadly remembered, Just last week, I had tried to steal honey from the hive and the angry Bees had stung me! It was so painful!’
The Ape sighed!
A Bee flying up to the hive looked at him. The Ape asked the Bee, “How are you able to make such a sweet wonderful liquid like honey, and at the same time, carry such a horribly painful sting?”
The Bee nodded wisely and agreed, “Yes, you know our good work tastes sweet; but you must also know that when someone tries to steal it, our anger can be just as bitter!”
If you learn from your mistakes, you will not get hurt again.

One day, the Peacock visited Juno, the Goddess of Protection. The Peacock told her that he wished to look grand and beautiful. Juno smiled. He was a good bird and she liked him.

One day, a Thief saw an Old Man counting his money. The Thief wished to sn**ch his money by making some excuse.
The Thief decided to fool the Old Man and take away his money.
“Why are you stealing fruit from my orchard?” the Thief shouted in anger at the Old Man.
“You must be mistaken,” said the Old Man. “I do not like fruits, so why should I steal from your orchard?”
“Oh stop it!” growled the Thief. Then he thought for a while and said, “Ah! Last year, you spoke bad things about me to your neighbour.”
“No! That cannot be true. I did not live in this house last year,” replied the Old Man.
“Well then, if it was not you, it certainly must have been your brother,” shouted the Thief.
“It cannot have been, for my brother died two years ago, answered the Old Man.
“Never mind, I know it was definitely an Old Man like you, I will not accept excuses anymore,” said the Thief. Then, he sn**ched the Old Man’s money and ran away with it.

🍂The Goat and the Goatherd
There was once an adventurous Goat. He was young, frisky and curious. He would ask, “What lies on the other side?” The other Goats just bleated and ate more grass.
The Goatherd would try very hard to bring this Goat back in time. The Goat would try his best to be free as long as possible.
One day, as usual, the Goat went exploring.
“Oh, no! That naughty Goat is missing again! Where has he gone now?” cried the angry Goatherd.
The Goatherd whistled till his throat dried up. He blew his horn till he was red in the face.
Tired of everything and wanting to get home to a warm supper and fire, the Goatherd threw a stone at the distant Goat.
This stone hit the Goat’s horn, which broke into two pieces.
The Goatherd was scared that the Master would shout at him for breaking the horn. So, he said to the Goat, “I beg you, do not tell the Master that I broke your horn.”
The Goat said, “You silly fellow, I won’t have to say a thing. The broken horn will tell its own story!”
Do not attempt to hide things, which cannot be hidden.

🍂The Ape and the Carpenter....,........................................
Once, an Ape was watching a Carpenter cut a wooden log into two. First the Carpenter put a small wedge into the crack of the log, to keep it open. When the crack was wide enough, he hammered in a large wedge and pulled the first one out.
At noon, the Carpenter went home for lunch. The Ape thought, ‘If the Carpenter can cut the wooden log, so can I!’
The Ape jumped and sat on the Carpenter’s bench. When he got ready to cut the log, his long tail slipped into the crack in the log.
The Ape did not notice this, but set to work. He put the first wedge in exactly as he had seen the Carpenter do it. But then he pulled it out before he had driven in the second one. The two sides of the log instantly sprang together. The Ape’s tail was caught between them.
The poor Ape cried out in pain. The Carpenter returned and laughed at the Ape. He said, “I am sure you now know what happens when you interfere in other people’s work.”
We should not interfere in other people’s work.

🍂The Dogs
.....................
One morning, a Hunter was following an animal. He tied his Dogs in pairs, so that they would hunt in an orderly way, and not pull in different directions.
Jowler and V***n were tied together as a couple. They were both young and new to hunting. The two Dogs were good friends and always played together. They took each other’s sides in a quarrel. The other Dogs thought that they would be good partners.
However, they acted strangely when tied together. They both liked to go in opposite directions and walk in a different manner. Both of them would pull the other in different directions and soon this would end in a quarrel. Jowler, the male, treated V***n, the female, badly.
He did not take care to lead V***n properly or kindly.
An old Dog watching the two Dogs fight with each other, scolded them, “Silly Puppies, why are you always fighting with each other? Why don’t you ask what the other wants? Then you can both be at peace! I realized this when I was in the similar situation as you.”
Joint agreement is necessary for a good partnership.

Once, there lived a Wise Owl. He made his nest in the hollow of a tree.
He would fly to a particular tree, every day and pick up his food. Then, he would fly back home and slowly enjoy his meal, there.
One day, the other birds asked him how he got his food so easily.
The Wise Owl said, “I was flying one day, when I saw the halfThe Mice and the Owl chopped-down bark of a tree. It was full of insects and Mice. When I tried to catch the Mice, some of them ran away too quickly. So, I thought of an idea. I
began to feed the Mice with wheat, every day. The Mice became fat and healthy. Then I bit off all their feet!”
The Birds understood that the footless Mice now could not run. They waited each day for the Owl to bring them wheat.
The Owl brought them food faithfully each day.
Then, every day he would pick up one Mouse and take it home to eat! In this way the Owl had well-fed meals ready and waiting for him. He did not have to go in search of food ever!

Long ago, there lived a great Wizard. One day, as he was walking through the village, a Mouse fell to
the ground from the beak of a crow. He picked up the Mouse and fed him some rice.
Then, one day, the Wizard saw a Cat chasing the Mouse around the village. Scared that his pet Mouse would be killed by the Cat, he turned the Mouse into a Cat so that it could defend itself.
The next day, the Wizard saw his Cat frightened by a Tiger and immediately changed him into a
Tiger.
The villagers said, “That’s not a Tiger! It’s just a Mouse that the Wizard changed into a Tiger. He won’t eat us or even scare us.”
When the Tiger heard this, he was furious with the Wizard. He thought, ‘As long as the Wizard is alive, the truth about my real nature will always be spoken!’
But as soon as the Wizard saw the Tiger coming, he understood his plan and shouted, “Get back into the
form of a Mouse.”
The Tiger shrank and became a little Mouse, once again.

one large tree. The Sparrows and the Crows wanted to live there.
The Sparrows told their aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents and friends about the new place. Everyone wanted to live there. The Crows also did the same.

the tree.”
The Sparrows said, “So what? We will live there. We found the tree first.”

Once, a Hog was walking on a street. There, he met a Horse. They both started talking.
The Horse said, “Hog, what do you do all the day?”
The Hog replied, “I eat, sleep and bring up my children. And you?”
The Horse said, “Oh! I am very busy. I go to war with my master. You must also join the army and serve our country!”
The Hog thought for a while and said, “No, Horse, I can’t join the army.”
The Horse asked, “Why not?”
The Hog replied, “I will be of no use to anyone on the battlefield. Neither can anyone sit on me, nor can I run and yes, I don’t know how to fight.”
“But I can teach you, if you want,” said the Horse.
The Hog shook his
head and said, “No, Horse.
Everybody has a different purpose in life. Mine is to take care of my children and yours is to take care of your master. I would like to do my best in my own task and not try to become like someone else.”

🍂The Sow and the Cat
.....................................
One day, a Sow was playing with her five piglets in mud. Just then, a Cat came to her. The Cat was followed by a long line of kittens, she had recently delivered.
The Cat and the Sow exchanged greetings and started a conversation.
Soon, the Sow and the Cat started discussing the large sizes of their families.
The Sow said to the Cat, “Dear sister, we are so lucky to be able to give birth to a large litter of babies.”
The Cat smiled and said, “Yes sister, what you say is true. But, your litter, though big, is of no use. They will grow up to be lazy pigs like you. It is foolish of you to deliver so many piglets at the same time!”
The Sow did not like what the Cat said for her piglets.
So, she said to the Cat, “Sister! I may be foolish but you are no better. You deliver your kittens blind and leave them to the mercy of the predator.”
The Cat realised her mistake and apologised to the Sow for saying harsh words to her.
Do not find fault in others, as nobody is perfect.

🍂The Man and Apollo
There once lived a Man in a village. He was very cunning and often cheated the villagers. He did not believe in God and thought he was cleverer than God.
One day, the Man went to the temple of Apollo.
He called all the villagers to the temple. He said to them, “I will prove that I am much more intelligent than Apollo.”
The Man had a plan. He took a silver ring coated with gold paint with him. He held out the ring in his hand and said, “Oh, Apollo, if you are a God, then tell me what I hold in my hand…silver or gold?”
The Man thought if Apollo said “silver” he would not do anything, but, if he said “gold,” he would quickly wipe off the paint. Apollo could answer anyway he liked. It would be the wrong answer.
The mighty, all-knowing Apollo understood his trick.
He thundered, “Show me the ring now I know that it is of silver and painted gold. You dare to challenge the Gods! Your tricks will lead you to misfortune. If you displease the Gods, they will make you very unhappy!”
It is foolish to challenge God.

🍂The Sportsman and the Spaniel
...,..........❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️............
One day, a Sportsman took his gun and went to the forest, to hunt for birds. His old Spaniel went with him. The Spaniel was an old dog that had good experience in hunting birds.
While spotting birds, the Sportsman saw a beautiful Bird. He, at once, aimed at the Bird. However, right then, he saw a covey of Partridges flying above his head. He became greedy and decided to somehow shoot both the birds.
Then, suddenly, the Sportsman changed his mind and aimed only at the Partridges. The Sportsman was new and inexperienced to the sport. Thus, he was not able to shoot the Partridges. Also, the loud sound of the bullet alarmed the other Bird and it flew
away.
The Sportsman was very sad at his failure.
The Spaniel saw that his master was sad, so, he said,
“Dear master, you should not have aimed at two birds at the same time. If you would not have become greedy,
looking at the Partridge and kept your concentration on the Bird you would have successfully captured it!”
It is important to focus on your goal rather than get distracted with various options.

n the shores of an Ocean, there lived a pair of Birds. The female Bird was about to have babies. She told her husband, “Please find me a suitable and quiet place, where I can lay my eggs.”
“This is the right place!” he said.

“What! Do you think the Ocean would dare do such a thing?” her husband shouted.
So, the poor female had to lay her eggs on the shore. The Ocean carried off the eggs as soon as they were laid.
“Our eggs are gone!” cried the wife.
“Don’t worry. I’ll get them back,” said the husband. Then, the Male Bird, along with the other Birds,
went to the Lord of the Birds. The Male Bird said to him, “Master! We were living peacefully, and the Ocean has made me and my wife very unhappy by taking away
our eggs.”
The Lord of the Birds told Jupiter, the Preserver of the World, all that had happened. Jupiter ordered the

🦁The Lion and the Elephant🐘.............. ............ ....... ..........
Once, a Lion sat thinking by himself. He had sharp, strong claws and teeth and was a beast with immense strength. Yet, whenever he heard a C**k crowing, he would be extremely scared.
The Lion, thus, complained, “Can a life like this be worth living? I am one of the strongest and the bravest and yet, a lowly creature, such as, a C**k has the power to rob my life of its charm by simply crowing!”
Just then, a huge Elephant came along, flapping his ears to and fro, with an air of great concern. “What troubles you so?” asked the Elephant.
The Lion thought of sharing his grief with the Elephant and asked him, “Can anything harm a beast like you who has tremendous bulk and strength?” The Elephant replied, “Do you see this little Gnat? If he ever stings the innermost parts of my ear, I will go mad with pain.”
The Lion understood that even the strongest creatures have weak points. He gained self-confidence and decided never to let troubles overshadow his joys in life.
We all have weak points. Instead of complaining about them, we should focus on the pleasant things in life.

He tried to crush the Gnat but all his attempts went in vain The Gnat had no pity on the poor beast.

His pleasure blinded him so much, that while flying, he suddenly got stuck in a Spider-web. No matter how much he tried, the Gnat could not escape.
Thus, the Gnat who had defeated the mighty Lion became the prey of the Spider.
