A Mouse Deer and Mr. Farmer
One day, Mouse Deer went to the edge of the forest. He looked out at row after row of vegetables.
“Mmm,” said Mouse Deer. “Juicy cucumbers! Yummy yams!” he started into the garden. Mouse Deer
loved to eat the fruits and roots and shoots of the forest. But he loved something else even more. He
loved the vegetables in Mr. Farmer’s garden. Snap! “Oh!” His leg was caught in a snare! Mouse Deer
pulled and pulled. But he could not get away. “Oh, no!” he said. “Mr. Farmer will have me for dinner!

Then he saw Mr. Farmer coming. Mouse Deer thought fast. He lay on the ground and made his body
stiff. Mouse Deer laughed. “Mr. Farmer is smart, but Mouse Deer is smarter.” “Well, well,” said Mr.
Farmer. “Look what I caught. A mouse deer! But he looks dead.” Mr. Farmer pushed him with his foot.
Mouse Deer didn’t move. “May be he’s been dead a long time,” said Mr. Farmer. “Too bad! I guess we
can’t eat him.” He pulled Mouse Deer’s leg out of the snare. Then he tossed Mouse Deer back into
the forest. Mouse Deer landed with a soft plop. Then he jumped up and ran. Behind him, he heard
Mr. Farmer yelled, “Hey, you trick me!”

The Old Woman and the Sparrow
Once upon a time, there lived a kind hearted man and his wife. One morning, his wife found a
poor little sparrow. She took it gently and fed it. Showing its gratitude, the sparrow stayed with them
and sang every morning. But there was an ill-tempered old woman who didn’t like the sparrow. She
cut the sparrow’s tongue. That’s why the bird flew away to its previous nest.
Knowing that their sparrow flew away, the kind man and his wife looked for the sparrow. They
walked a long way, crossed the bridges, climbed the mountains and passed the woods.
At last, they could find the sparrow’s nest. The sparrow welcomed them and provided a feast for
them. Before they went home, the sparrow brought two baskets; one was large and looked heavy, and
the other one was small and light. The sparrow asked them to choose only one. They chose the small
and that was the best choice. There were many rolls of silk and piles of gold in it.
Being jealous, the ill-tempered old woman did the same thing as the kind man and his wife did.
She chose the big basket which actually contained wasps and venomous crawlers, such as scorpions,
centipedes, and other horrible creatures. Finally, they stung and bit her until death.
