 There was a dog walking on the seashore. He went
on island hopping with his master. Along his way, he
found a bone. He quickly picked it up and ran back to
the boat. As he was looking down on the side of the
boat, he saw another dog in the water with a big
bone. He barked at the dog. How foolish for him to
bark with a bone in his mouth! His bone fell into the
sea. The dog in the water disappeared as the bone
fell. The dog was so sad that his bone was gone, too.
But his master brought home a basket full of fish.
The dog will surely have something for dinner.

 THE FIVE FOOLISH FISHERMEN
The five foolish fishermen went to the sea to fish.
When they got back, the first fisherman said,
“Let us see if there are still five of us.”
So he counted, “One, two, three, four.”
“Oh, no!” he cried. We are only four!”

“Let me count,” said the second fisherman.

“One, two, three, four!” You are right! We are only four!”
“Maybe one of us fell into the sea!” cried the third
fisher- man. “What shall we do?” asked the fourth
fisherman.
 And they began to cry.

A little girl came. “Why are you crying?” she

asked.
“Five of us went to the sea to fish.
But only four of us came back!
One of us is lost!” answered the fishermen.
They all cried again. “Boo hu hu!
 “Let me count,” said the little girl.
“One, two, three, four, five! There are five of
you!”

fishermen. They were so happy. They gave her a

pool but he felt very bored.
One day, he noticed a large eagle flying
overhead. He looked very graceful, flying so easily
that the tortoise decided he would learn how to fly
too.
When the eagle came to rest on a rock near the
pool, the tortoise got his chance and said, “Oh,
handsome eagle, you fly so well. Please teach me
how to fly.”
 The eagle was surprised. “What? Teach you how to fly?
You have no wings or feathers!”
Again the tortoise pleaded, “Oh please eagle, I’m sure I
can learn.”
The tortoise continued asking the eagle to teach him
how to fly. Finally, the eagle agreed.
He picked up the tortoise with his claws and they flew
high in the sky. Then he let go off the tortoise and told
him to flap his legs and fly.

fell like a stone towards the ground. Luckily, he fell into a
