The Lion and the Mouse

Once when a lion, the king of the jungle, was asleep, a little mouse began running up
and down on him. This soon awakened the lion, who placed his huge paw on the
mouse, and opened his big jaws to swallow him.

“Pardon, O King!” cried the little Mouse, “Forgive me this time. I shall never repeat it
and I shall never forget your kindness. And who knows, I may be able to do you a
good turn one of these days!”

The Lion was so tickled by the idea of the mouse being able to help him that he lifted
his paw and let him go.

Sometime later, a few hunters captured the lion, and tied him to a tree. After that
they went in search of a wagon, to take him to the zoo.

Just then the little mouse happened to pass by. On seeing the lion’s plight, he ran up
to him and gnawed away the ropes that bound him, the king of the jungle.

“Was I not right?” said the little mouse, very happy to help the lion.

Friends

Bunny rabbit lived in the forest. He had many friends. He was proud of his
friends.
One day Bunny rabbit heard the loud barking of the wild dogs. He was very
scared. He decided to ask for help. He quickly went to his friend deer. He
said: “Dear friend, some wild dogs are chasing me. Can you chase them
away with your sharp antlers?” Dear said: “That is right, I can. But now I
am busy. Why don’t you ask bear for help?”
Bunny rabbit ran to the bear. “My dear friend you are very strong, please
help me. Some wild dogs are after me. Please chase them away,” he
requested the bear.
Bear replied: “I am sorry. I am hungry and tired. I need to find some food.
Please ask the monkey for help”.
Poor Bunny went to the monkey, elephant, goat and all his friends. Bunny
felt sad that nobody was ready to help him.
He understood that he has to think of a way out. He hid under a bush. He
lay still the wild dogs went their way.
 The Boy Who Cried Wolf

A shepherd-boy, who watched a group of sheep near a village, shocked out

the villagers three or four times by screaming out, “Wolf! Wolf!” and when his
neighbors were there to help him,he laughed at them for their pains.

However the Wolf, truly come at last. The Shepherd-boy, now really in danger,
cried in an agony of terror: “Pray, please come and help me; the Wolf is
approaching to kill the sheep”; but no one paid any attention to his cries, nor
rendered any help. The Wolf, having no cause of scary, at his leisure
lacerated or destroyed the whole sheep in group.

There is no believing liars, even when they speak the truth.

The Tortoise and the Hare

One day, there was the Hare which was once boasting of his speed before the
other animals. “I have never been beaten,” he said arrogantly, “if i run with my
full speed. I challenge everyone here to against me in a racing.”

The Tortoise replied quietly, “I will accept your challenge.”

“is that a joke?” said the Hare again; “I could dance round you all the way
from the start to the finish spot.”

“Keep your boasting till you win,” the Tortoise answered. “Shall we start?”

So a course was agreed and a starting point was made. at once The Hare
darted almost out of sight, but soon he stopped and to show his contempt for
the Tortoise, he lay down to have a nap soundly. The Tortoise plodded on
and plodded on as the time going, and when the Hare awoke from his nap, he
was shocked to see the Tortoise just near the winning-post and could not run
up in time to save the race.

Then the Tortoise said: “Slow but steady process will win the race.”
