The Monkey and the Crocodile

It was a beautiful lake surrounded by lush green grasses, beautiful trees, mountains and sweetest, tastiest
jamun trees. There lived a monkey on one of the jamun trees located near the lake.

The lake also had a few crocodiles. There was one crocodile that used to collect the jamun fruits from
the lake that fall from the tree.

As the crocodile visits the jamun trees every day, it became friends with Monkey. Crocodile and monkey
met every day. The monkey helped crocodile by providing more and fresh jamun fruits from the tree.
Their relationship continued and they became close pals.
One day, the monkey asked the crocodile to give some jamun fruits to his wife and family as the fruits
were more delicious. The crocodile agreed and took a lot of jamun fruits to his wife.
His wife was so happy and surprised that she never ate so delicious fruits, so far. She inquired her
husband, where he got those fruits. The crocodile told her, his friend, monkey who lives in a Jamun tree
gave these for him.

The wife crocodile made a plan in her mind. She asked her husband, ‘Does your friend eat these fruits
every day?’ The crocodile replied yes. She added, ‘Oh my goodness. These are the sweetest fruits we
ever ate. Imagine how delicious the monkey’s heart would be if he eat these fruits daily! I need the heart
of your friend. Can you please bring it for me?’
The crocodile was shocked to hear it from his wife. He replied, ‘But he is my close friend. I can’t do this
to him.’
The wife crocodile told him, ‘don’t worry. You bring him here. I will then take care! Or else, you may
try to push him down into the water if he doesn’t know swimming!’
After a long time, the crocodile agreed to bring monkey to his wife.
The very next day, crocodile invited monkey to join them for lunch and asked for his favorite foods.
Monkey happily agreed to be the guest and but worried that the monkey did not know how to swim in
the lake.
Crocodile on thinking about monkey’s sorrow, pleased monkey and told him, ‘Don’t worry. I will carry
you on my back and will take you back safely too!’
The monkey accepted and crocodile rode him to his home on his back on the water. As they reached half
way, the crocodile tried to push monkey down into the water. However, monkey held the crocodile
tightly and did not fall. Monkey got suspicious about crocodile’s act and asked him to tell the truth.
Since crocodile believed him as his good friend, he told about the conversation and the fight his wife
had with him and he was taking monkey to eat his heart!
The intelligent monkey said, ‘Oh my dear friend, you should have told me this earlier. I left my heart on
one of the branches of the tree as I won’t carry it if I travel long. If you take me back, I can give you my
heart.’
Crocodile accepted and rode the monkey back to the lake. As they reached the tree where the monkey
lived, the monkey climbed quickly and escaped from the crocodile.
He shouted at crocodile, ‘I thought you as a good friend, but you cheated me. I will never come back
and never be your friend.’
The crocodile understood his mistake and returned back home empty handed, losing a good friend
indeed.
 The Eagle Who Lived Like a Hen

In a forest an eagle lived on a tree. It had built a nest wherein to lay its eggs. There the eagle would hatch
its eggs all through the day.

Under the same tree there lived a hen. The hen had also laid eggs during the same period when the eagle
had laid its eggs.

One day, while the eagle had gone for hunting, a bear climbed up the tree to eat the eagle’s eggs. The
bear had finished three of the eggs when the fourth one slipped off its hands and fell into the hen’s nest.
On returning, the eagle could not find her eggs. Feeling terribly upset, she decided to leave the place.

The hen which lived under the tree saw the eagle’s egg by the side of her eggs. She felt eggs pity on the
eagle’s egg, and decided to hatch it too. After a few days, the hen’s chicks hatched. The eagle’s chick
hatched, too.

The hen would feed all the chicks, including the eagle’s chick, as if it were her own. Soon the chicks
began to grow.

The young chicks would listen to their mother’s sounds and try to imitate her. The eagle’s chick also
picked up the hen’s sounds. The chicks would all play together and make lots of noise.

Within no time the hen’s chicks as well as the eagle’s chick grew up to their full size. The eagle’s chick
never realized that it was an eagle and not a hen. Considering itself a hen, the eagle would. eat hen’s
food, would walk and run like other hens and would make sounds like hens. The eagle never learnt to
fly like other eagles and lived its whole life like a hen only.

 The Lonely Landy

One day, there was a porcupine named landy. He was lonely. No one wanted to play with him,
because they afraid of his spikes.

“dear landy, we don’t want to play with you because your spikes are too sharp. We don’t want you to
hurt us,” said cici the rabbit one day.

“cici is right, landy, it is not because you’re bad or rude to us, no, landy, just because of your spikes.
They will stab us if we are close to you.” Said tito the rooster.

Landy felt lonely. Landy spent most of the time day dreaming at the river bank. “I would be happy if
there were no spikes on my body.”

Suddenly, kuku the turtle appeared from the river. He came to landy and said, “landy, what are you
thinking of?”

“oh, nothing.” Landy replied.

“don’t lie to me, landy! Who knows I can help you.” Said kuku wisely. Then he sat beside landy. He
wasn’t afraid of landy’s spikes.

Shortly, landy told his problem. Kuku nodded his head. He said. “poor you, but it isn’t your fault. I
know your spikes are very usefull and helpful for you. They will realize it someday, trust me!”

Thanks, kuku, you are my best friend.”

decided not to com. He didn’t want to mess up the party.

“I’ll come with you landy. I’ll tell everyone that you’re harmless.” Said kuku, finally landy attended
the party. Everyone enjoyed it.

Suddenly tito screamed, “help…help…! The evil wolf is coming. Save yourself!” then, everyone saved
their lives, except kuku and landy. Kuku pulled his head and his leg into his shell. And landy rolled his
body into a ball.

Unintentionally, the evil wolf touched landy. Of course, the spikes pricked him. He screamed. “ouch!”
since his foot was bleeding, he didn’t chase landy’s friend any longer. Then, he ran away.

“horray… horray…! Long live landy! He saved our lives.” Said cici and her friends. They thanked him
from then on. Landy wasn’t lonely anymore.
 The Tortoise and the Hare

As usual, the hare was bragging to all the other animals about his speed. "I'm faster than the wind, quicker
that nightfall," he said. "No one has ever beaten me. No one ever will. I challenge any animal here to
race me." The foxes and donkeys and frogs and serpents looked on in silence. No one would accept the
hare's challenge. Then a lone voice rose up. "I will race you," said the tortoise.

"You!" said the hare, snickering. "Why, that's a fine joke. I will dance around you all the way to the
finish line!"

"We'll see about that," said the tortoise quietly. "Shall we race?"

The starting signal was given, and off went the tortoise and the hare. Almost at once, the hare darted
over a hillside and was out of sight. The tortoise set off slowly, just plodding along. Soon the hare was
way ahead of the tortoise. It was a hot day. He'd grown tired from running so fast. He thought about how
far behind the tortoise would be by now. So the hare decided to take a little nap. On a soft, shady patch
of grass, he curled up and went to sleep.

Steadily, slowly, the tortoise kept plodding along. The sun fell lower in the sky. The shadows grew
longer. The hare woke up and stretched. "I wonder where that silly tortoise is now," he said to himself.
"I had a great nap. I'll bet the tortoise is still miles behind me."

The hare looked back down the road. Sure enough, there was no tortoise in sight. Then he looked up the
road toward the finish line. Oh no! the tortoise, still plodding along, was now nearing the end of the race.

Then the hare ran the fastest he ever had. But it was too late. The tortoise crawled across the finish line.
All the animals shouted, "Tortoise won, tortoise won!" The hare couldn't believe it. And the tortoise just
smiled to himself!
 The City Mouse and The Country Mouse

Once upon a time, City Mouse went to visit his cousin who lived in the country. The two mice took a
walk in a meadow, then had dinner inside an old barn. Country mouse served City Mouse a few nuts, a
few barley grains, a few peas, and a few little pieces of cheese. This was not a fancy meal, but it was all
Country Mouse had to offer.

City Mouse turned up his long whiskery nose at the country food. "Cousin, are you living on scraps," he
said. "But maybe you don't expect anything better, way out here in the country. Come with me and I will
show you how to really live."

The two mice set out for the city and arrived at City Mouse's house late at night. They were both very
hungry after the long trip, so they went into a grand dining room with a huge crystal chandelier. There,
the mice found big mounds of jelly, heaping helpings of carrots, giant chunks of cheese, and entire ears
of corn on the cob. The two mice began to nibble away at this feast.

All of a sudden, they heard loud barking and commotion. "What's that sound?" asked Country Mouse.

"That's only the dogs of the house coming home with their masters," replied City Mouse. "Only dogs!"
squeaked Country Mouse, terribly frightened. "What do you mean, only dogs!"

Just then, the dogs burst through the door, barking and growling. The two mice scurried into a hole in the wall.
Once they were safe, Country Mouse turned to City Mouse. "I'm leaving," said Country Mouse, already two feet
out the door.
