 “THE CROW AND THE PITCHER”
A crow perishing with thirst saw a pitcher, and hoping to
find water, flew to it with delight. When he reached it, he
discovered to his grief that it contained so little water that he
could not possibly get at it. He tried everything he could think
of to reach the water, but all his efforts were in vain. At last,
he collected as many stones as he could carry and dropped
them one by one with his beak into the pitcher, until he
brought the water within his reach and thus saved his life.

 THE BOY WHO CRIED WOLF
Once there was a mean little boy who lived in a small village. This little boy loved to mess
with people, so one day he ran up to a sheep herder and shouted, “WOLF! WOLF! A wolf is attacking
the town!” The sheep herder grabbed his staff and ran to defend the town but realized he had been
fooled when the boy started pointing and laughing at him. “Ha ha! I made you jump,” said the boy.
Then the boy ran up to a farmer and shouted, “WOLF! WOLF! A wolf is attacking the town!” The
farmer grabbed his pitchfork and ran to defend the town, but when the boy started pointing and
laughing at him, he realized he had been tricked. As the boy went back to his family’s farm laughing
about the funny trick he played, he saw a real wolf in his father’s chicken coop. As the wolf ate all of
his father’s chickens, the boy screamed over and over again, “WOLF! WOLF! Please help us!” But
nobody came to help him.

The Crow & the Pitcher
In a spell of dry weather, when the Birds could find very
little to drink, a thirsty Crow found a pitcher with a little water
in it. But the pitcher was high and had a narrow neck, and no
matter how he tried, the Crow could not reach the water. The
poor thing felt as if he must die of thirst. Then an idea came to
him. Picking up some small pebbles, he dropped them into the
pitcher one by one. With each pebble the water rose a little
higher until at last it was near enough so he could drink

thoroughly after you go to the bathroom. Flicking your hands under running
water is not enough. You must use soap and lather for 20 seconds. Next, clean
your home with a disinfecting agent. Germs can linger on surfaces for a long

from time to time, weather permitting. Fresh air will reduce the amount of
airborne germs lingering in your home.

The dew on the grass made my running shoes damp. It didn't bother
me. The sound of my feet hitting the street formed a rhythm, a steady
pattern of light thumps. I timed my breathing with the rhythm. These
sounds filled my head. I thought of nothing other than the next step and
keeping my tempo. I soared over the sidewalks like concrete clouds.
