THE LION IN BAD COMPANY

One day, a young lion was roaming

around in the jungle alone when he
spotted a wolf in the bushes. The
wolf also saw the lion and feared that
if he tried to run away, the lion would
surely kill him. So, he himself walked
up to the lion and said, "Dear Sir, you
look very kind! If you take me to your
den, and let me live with your family, I
will help you in doing your household
chores." He added, I have never
seen such a majestic young lion ever
before in my life and it would be a
pleasure to serve you and your
family.
This young lion had been repeatedly
told by his father and mother not to
make friends with any wolf. But he
was impressed by the oily talks of the
wolf and decided to take him to his
den.

The lions parents did not want their

son to be hanging out with the wolf
but there was little that they could do
as the young lion had grown very
fond of the wolf. They feared that
someday the lion would land in
trouble because of the wolf. And they
were absolutely right in thinking so!
One day the wolf had a strong
craving to eat
THE OX WHO ENVIED THE PIG
Once, a farmer had two big and
strong oxen by the names of Big Red
and Little Red on his farm. He also
owned a little pig that used to live
with the oxen. The oxen used to work
very hard in the farmers field. The
pig did nothing and just idled around.

One day, the farmer fixed his

daughters wedding. He ordered his
men to fatten the pig for the wedding
feast. And since that day, the
farmers men started feeding a rich
diet to the pig.
Seeing this, Little Red said to Big
Red, Brother, just look at the good
fortune of this lazy pig! He is getting
to eat all the delicious dishes without
doing anything. Despite working so
hard in the fields, we get to eat only
some straws and grass.
Big Red replied, Dear brother, do not
envy the pig. He is eating the food of
death. He is being fattened up for the
wedding feast. He would soon be
slaughtered by the farmer. It is better
to eat dry grass and straws and live
long rather than have a rich feast and
get killed.
