Fable 2
Bird Songs
Jealousy
Have you ever thought, Why do birds sing?
Well, a long time ago, a bluebird was scratching for worms. She started quietly singing. The song was so beautiful that it woke up a crow. The crow thought for a while. Then he decided that he too could sing just as good as the bluebird. The crow began to caw—slowly and softly at first—and then louder and faster. He also sang, I’m the best singer in the forest!
An eagle was flying in the sky. She heard the crow singing. She decided that she too could sing. She began to screech even louder, crying out about her strength, beauty, and intelligence. This led other birds to sing about their own virtues. Even today, the singing has not ended.
Moral: Jealousy is a noise that is best ignored.

The black dog started eating the oysters, and the white dog encouraged him. If some oysters are OK, more oysters must be delicious,
he said.
Finally, after he had eaten all the oysters, the black dog slowly crawled away. He was very sick with a stomachache from those really spoiled oysters.
Moral: Some gifts are better not accepted.
Fable 4
Changing Places
Envy
A duck, a frog, a tortoise, and an eagle were drinking at a pond one day. The duck said to the tortoise, "I really wish I could change places with you. You have a house with you wherever you go. That’s so
