 True Friends

Once upon a time, there were two close friends who were walking through the
forest together. They knew that anything dangerous can happen any time in the
forest. So they promised each other that they would always be together in any
case of danger.

Suddenly, they saw a large bear getting closer toward them. One of them climbed
a nearby tree at once. But unfortunately the other one did not know how to climb
up the tree. So being led by his common sense, he lay down on the ground
breathless and pretended to be a dead man.

The bear came near the one who was lying on the ground. It smelt in his ears, and
slowly left the place because the bears do not want to touch the dead creatures.
After that, the friend on the tree came down and asked his friend that was on the
ground, "Friend, what did the bear whisper into your ears?" The other friend
replied, "Just now the bear advised me not to believe a false friend."
 The Ant and the Dove

One hot day, an ant was seeking for some water. After walking around for a
moment, she came to a spring. To reach the spring, she had to climb up a blade of
grass. While making her way up, she slipped and fell unintentionally into the
water.

She could have sunk if a dove up a nearby tree had not seen her. Seeing that the
ant was in trouble, the dove quickly put off a leaf from a tree and dropped it
immediately into the water near the struggling ant. Then the ant moved towards
the leaf and climbed up there. Soon it carried her safely to dry ground.

Not long after at that, there was a hunter nearby who was throwing out his net
towards the dove, hoping to trap it in this way.

Guessing what he should do, the ant quickly bit him on the heel. Feeling the pain,
the hunter dropped his net and the dove flew away quickly from this net.
The morality: One good turn deserves another.
 The Fox and the Grapes

One afternoon there was a fox that was walking through the forest and spotted a
bunch of grapes hanging from over a lofty branch. “Just the thing to quench my
thirst,” quoted the fox. Taking a few steps backward, the fox jumped but
unfortunately he missed the hanging grapes. Again the fox took a few paces
backward, ran, and tried to reach them but he still failed.

Finally, giving up, the fox turned up his nose and said, “They’re probably sour
anyway,” and proceeded to walk away.

Moral Value: it’s easy to despise what you cannot have.

 Pinokio

In the past, there was a puppeteer whose name is Geppetto. He eager to have a
son very much but his wife passed away several years ago. One day, he got an
idea to make a puppet in order not to be lonely again. He made a puppet all day
long. Finally, in the morning he had finished his work and he named the puppet
Pinocchio. Soon he felt lonely again since Pinocchio couldn't walk or talk by itself.
One night, Geppetto prayed to the God to become a real boy. He always thought
it on his mind in his dream.

In the next morning, he was surprised that Pinocchio was alive. He taught
Pinocchio how to walk, how to read, how to speak and to do other things as
human. He then studied at an elementary school. One day, Pinocchio felt bored
and it made him go home late. When Pinocchio finally came home, Geppetto
asked him. He said that he was on school but he wasn’t. Instantly, Pinocchio's
nose grew longer and longer and it meant that Pinocchio has lied.
The next morning, Pinocchio was kidnaped by the owner of circus. Pinocchio soon
became a slave for the circus. He was so famous because he was a puppet which
can talk. Geppetto worried about him because Pinocchio had not been going
home for almost two days. He tried to find Pinocchio everywhere but he found
nothing. When he searched him on the sea, big wave smashed him. He was then
in whale's stomach when he awoke. He couldn't find the way to go out.

In the other side, Pinocchio finally could escape out from the circus. He came
home but nobody was there. Latter on, he searched Geppetto in the sea. He got
the same accident like Geppetto and he met Geppetto in whale's stomach. Both
of them got out from its stomach by making a fire. In the end of the story, they
went home together and lived happily ever after.
 The Lion and The Mouse

When he was awakened by a tiny Mouse running across his body, a mighty Lion
was sleeping in his lair. The lion then grabbed the frightened mouse with his huge
paws and opened his mouth to swallow him directly. "Please, King," begged the
Mouse, "Spare me this time and of course I will never forget your kindness.
Someday I may be able to repay you. "The Lion thought that it was such an
amusing idea that he let the poor creature go.

Sometimes later the Lion was caught in a net laid by some hunters. Despite his
great strength, the Lion could not break free. Soon the forest echoed with angry
load roars.

The Little Mouse heard the Lion and ran to see what was wrong. As soon as he
succeeded to make the Lion free "There!" said the Mouse proudly, " You laughed
at me when I promised to repay your kindness, but now you know that even a
tiny Mouse can help a mighty Lion."
Moral Value:

1. Little friends may prove to be great friends.

2. Friend in need is friend indeed.
 A Donkey and A Lapdog

Once upon a time there was a farmer who owned a little dog that he keeps
constantly by his side and a donkey, which lived in a warm stable and got plenty
of fresh grain and sweet hay. But, unfortunately the donkey was not satisfied with
his condition.

"I slave all day long, hauling wood or pulling the cart to market while the dog
sleeps on the master's lap and eats from his plate!," the donkey grumbled.
"Perhaps, he thought, if he behaved like the dog, his master would reward him
with the same life of ease.

That very night, the donkey crept out of the stable and into the house where the
farmer sat at supper. "First I'll frisk about and chase my tail, just as the dog does,"
thought the donkey. And he danced about the room, flinging up his hooves until
the table toppled over and dishes went flying.

"Now I'll sit on his lap!" said the donkey, and he put his hooves up on the master's
chair.

"Help! Save me from this mad beast!" the terrified farmer bellowed. Then his
servants came running and, with shouts and blows, drove the donkey back to the
stable.

"I suppose I' m a fine donkey, "the donkey lamented," but I' ll never be a lapdog!"
Moral of the Story- What's right for one may be wrong for another. So, never try
to copy another person in front of you.

said Sura. Then they fought for the goat. After several hours, they were very tired.
Feeling tired of fighting, they lived in the different places. Sura lived in the water
and Baya lived in the land. The border was the beach, so they would never fight

after so long time. Unfortunately, when the mother came, Malin Kundang who
was in front of his well-dressed wife and his ship crews denied meeting that old
lonely woman. For three times her mother begged Malin Kundang and for three
times he yelled at her. At last Malin Kundang said to her “Enough, old woman! I
have never had a mother like you, a dirty and ugly woman!” After that he ordered
his crews to set sail. He would leave the old mother again, but in that time, she
was full of both sadness and angriness.
Finally, enraged, she cursed Malin Kundang that he would turn into a stone if he
didn’t apologize. Malin Kundang just laughed and really set sail.
In the quiet sea, suddenly a thunderstorm came. His huge ship was wrecked and it
was too late for Malin Kundang to apologize. He was thrown by the wave out of
his ship. He fell on a small island. It was really too late for him to avoid his curse.
Suddenly, he turned into a stone.

monster. He granted their wish on one condition. When their children had grown
up, they had to sacrifice them to Buta Ijo. He liked eating fresh meat of human
being. The farmers agreed to his condition. Several months later the wife was

She gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. They named her Timun Emas. The farmers
were happy. Timun Emas was very healthy and a very smart girl. She was also very

frightened so she ran away to hide. The farmers then told Buta Ijo that Timun
Emas was still a child. They asked him to postpone. Buta Ijo agreed. He promised
to come again. The following year Buta Ijo came again.
‘Timun, take these things’
‘What are these things?’
‘These are your weapons. Buta Ijo will chase you. He will eat you alive. So run as
fast as you can. And if he will catch you spread this to the ground. Now go!’
Timun Emas was scared so she ran as quickly as she could. When Buta Ijo arrived
she was far from home. He was very angry when he realized that his prey had left.
So he ran to chase her. He had a sharp nose so he knew what direction his prey
ran. Timun Emas was just a girl while Buta Ijo was a monster so he could easily
catch her up. When he was just several steps behind Timun Emas quickly spread
the seeds of cucumber. In seconds they turned into many vines of cucumber. The

thing is a net with the buoy at the surface. If the buoy was wobbling, there must be
some fish trapped at the net.
