thought hard how to escape the tiger. Then he got idea and said to the tiger,
“Listen! Your mightiness and toughness are all great! But I have my own king.
He has a greater strength than yours! I am sure that nobody can match his
powers!” Because the tiger felt taunted, he declared that he would challenge
the mouse deer’s king.
Next the mouse lead the tiger to the river, and said, “Now Look at the
water. You will see my king” Foolishly the tiger looked in the river and surely
saw another tiger in the water. Then he growled, but the tiger in the river
imitated to growl too. Because of his too high self pride, the tiger jumped into

 Golden Eggs

Long time ago a remote village, in central China was inhabited mainly with
farmers and hunters.
One day, a poor farmer lost his entire livestock to flood. He prayed hard to
God for help or his family would die of starvation.
Few days later, an old man with long grey beard, passed by his house took
pity on him. He gave him a goose and said “ I don’t have any expensive thing to
give you and hope this goose will help you to ease your hardship.” A week later
to almost surprise the farmer found and egg in his yard. This was no ordinary
egg. It was a golden egg. He was suddenly overcome with joy. Thereafter, his
livelihood had rapidly improved but the farmer had forgotten his earlier
hardship. He became lazy, arrogant and spendthrift. Strangely, the goose only
laid one golden egg every six months.
The greedy farmer lost his patient and slaughtered his goose thinking there
were plenty of golden eggs inside its stomach. Though he very much regretted
for his foolishness, it’s already too late.

 The Wolf and The Stork
There was once a wolf who felt so hungry. He gulped down all his
food as though his life depended on it. No wonder he had a chicken bone
stuck in his throat! Luckily for him, a stork who happened to be passing
nearby, heard his shrieks of pain, and she stopped, always ready to help
wherever she could.
Just one look was enough for her to guess what had happened. At
once, without saying a word or wasting anytime she site to work. It was
going to be a very long and a very difficult job. But how could the stork help
the greedy wolf?
At last, with the aid of her long beak, she got hold of the bone and
pulled it out of the wolf’s throat.
Now, any other animal would have been glad to pay the stork for what
she did. And, when the wolf began walking away, without even thanking
her, she said as much. “You think I would pay you?” cried the wolf, finding
his voice. “After digging into my throat with your long beak? You should be
glad I don’t eat you, you ungrateful bird! Go away, and don’t get under my
paws again!”
