Long time ago time there were a smart mouse deer. He lived near a river.

The mouse
deer used to go to the river to drink.

One day, the mouse deer was thirsty. He wanted to drink in the river but he knew that
crocodiles were staying and waiting underwater to eat him. He thought hard and got bright
idea. He said out loudly. “I will put in my leg and find out whether the water is warm or not”
Of course the mouse deer did not do what he said. He did not put his leg but the mouse deer
took a wood stick and put one end into the water. Blurrr…! Surely a crocodile grabbed the
wood stick and pulled it underwater. Seeing that, the mouse deer laughed and said “Stupid
crocodile! Can’t you see the difference between a wood stick and a leg?” Then the mouse
deer ran to another side of the river and drink some water.

On the following day, the mouse deer was hungry. He wanted to eat some grass on
the side of the river so he had to to cross the dangerous river which was full of crocodiles.
Again he thought hard and found another smart idea and said loudly “Crocodiles come up!”
then some crocodiles rose from the water. They looked happy and saw their sharp teeth and
said “Hello, Mouse Deer. Do you come to be my lunch? We are hungry” The mouse deer just
smiled and replied. “Sorry, Crocodiles, not today, I come to you to bring an invitation from
the king. You are invited to the party. The king ordered me to count all crocodiles in this river
so he knew how to prepare enough meal for you.”All the crocodiles felt happy and said
“Really…? Tell us what to do,” said a crocodile. “You have to line up from this side of the river
to the other side,” said the mouse deer. Not long after that the crocodile got all his friends
and family. He ordered to lined up across the river.

The mouse deer then jumped on the Crocodile’s back. “One,” the mouse deer
counted. He jumped onto the next crocodile, “Two.” And he jumped again on the next
crocodile, “Three.” he kept jumping until he arrived on the other side of the river. “Just
enough,” said the mouse deer. “I have counted all of you” He laughed and ran to the field of
grass.

  Once upon a time there lived a cloth merchant in a village with his wife and two children.
They were indeed quite well-off. They had a beautiful hen which laid an egg every day. It was
not an ordinary egg, rather, a golden egg. But the man was not satisfied with what he used to get
daily. He was a get rich-trice kind of a person.

The man wanted to get all the golden eggs from his hen at one single go. So, one day he thought
hard and at last clicked upon a plan. He decided to kill the hen and get all the eggs together. So,
the next day when the hen laid a golden egg, the man caught hold of it, took a sharp knife,
chopped off its neck and cut its body open. There was nothing but blood all around & no trace
of any egg at all. He was highly grieved because now he would not get even one single egg.

ultimately became a pauper. How jinxed and how much foolish he was.

Once upon a time, there lived as neighbours, a bear and a rabbit. The rabbit is a
good shot. In contrary, the bear is always clumsy and could not use the arrow to
good advantage.

One day, the bear called over the rabbit and asked the rabbit to take his bow and
arrows and came with bear to the other side of the hill. The rabbit was feared to
arouse the bear's anger so he could not refuse it. He consented and went with the
bear and shot enough buffalo to satisfy the hungry family. Indeed he shot and
killed so many that there was lots of meat left after the bear and his family had
loaded themselves and packed all they could carry home.

The bear was very gluttonous and did not want the rabbit to get any of the meat.

rabbit. He was very hearty eater. The mother bear always gave him an extra large
