The Lion and the Mouse
One day a lion was awaken from his afternoon nap by a group of mice scurrying around him. Swat! The lion used his huge paw to hit one the mice. The mouse pleaded for mercy from the lion. The lion took compassion upon the tiny mouse and decided to release him. A few days later, somehow the lion became trapped in a hunter’s net. He couldn’t release himself, and his roars made the whole forest tremble. The little mouse whose life was spared approached the lion. Then, he used his sharp little teeth to gnaw the strong ropes until the lion was free.
The Four Oxen and the Lion
A Lion used to wander around a field in which Four Oxen used to dwell. He had tried to attack them many times. However, whenever he came near, they turned their tails to one another, so that whichever way he approached them, he was met by the sharp horns of one of them. One day, the Four Oxen were quarreling among themselves, and each of them went off to the pasture alone. They even went to separate corners of the field because they didn’t want to see each other. The Lion took the chance and attacked them one by one.
The Hare and the Tortoise
The Hare was once boasting of his speed before the other animals. “I have never yet been beaten when I put forth my full speed,” he said. Then, he challenged any one there to race with him.
The Tortoise answered calmly, “I accept your challenge.”
“That is a good joke,” said the Hare, laughing. “You are very slow. I could dance round you all the way,” he added.
“Keep your boasting till you’ve beaten,” answered the Tortoise calmly. “Shall we race?”
So a course was fixed and they started to race. The Hare darted almost out of sight at once. But then, thinking that he’s going to win the race easily no matter what, he stopped and lay down to have a nap. Meanwhile, the Tortoise plodded on and plodded on. When the Hare awoke from his nap, he saw the Tortoise just near the finish line and could not run up in time to save the race.
