The Fox and The Cat

A fox was boasting to a cat of its clever devices for escaping its enemies. "I have a whole bag of tricks," he said, "which contains a hundred ways of escaping my enemies."

"I have only one," said the cat; "but I can generally manage with that." Just at that moment they heard the cry of a pack of hounds coming towards them, and the cat immediately scampered up a tree and hid herself in the boughs. "This is my plan," said the cat. "What are you going to do?"

The fox thought first of one way, then of another, and while he was debating the hounds came nearer and nearer, and at last the fox in his confusion was caught up by the hounds and soon killed by the huntsmen. Miss Puss, who had been looking on, said:

The Rat and The Frog

One day, a country rat wanted to go to town. He prepared himself and started his journey. It was hot on the way. So the rat was tired and thirsty. He then stopped near a big pond...to drink water for refreshing himself...and to find some fruits to eat. Near that pond, there lived a frog. When the rat saw the frog, he walked straight towards him. He forced the frog to take him to the other side of the pond. But the frog refused. The rat beat up the frog badly. So the frog had to give up and agreed to take him across the pond. The rat was afraid that the frog might leave him in the middle of the pond, so he tied his leg with the frog's leg. 

When they were in the middle of the pond, the frog stoped swimming, wanting the rat to drown. The rat tried to swim to save himself from drowning while the frog looked on with satisfaction. Meanwhile, there was a hawk flying by the pond and saw the two animals. The hawk grabbed both of them for his meal.

The Eagle and the Crow

A crow watched an eagle swoop down with majestic air from a nearby cliff, cliff descend upon a flock of sheep, and then carry off a lamb in his talons. The whole thing looked so graceful and easy that the crow was eager to imitate it. So, he swept down upon a large, fat ram with all the force he could muster and expected to carry him off as a prize. His claws became entangled in the wool ,however, and as he tried to escape, he fluttered and made such a commotion that he drew the shepherd's attention, enabling the man to seize him and clip his wings. That evening the shepherd brought the bird home to his family, and his children asked, "What kind of bird is this, Father?" "Well," he said, "if you were to ask him, he would tell you that he's an eagle. But if you will take my word for it, I know him to be nothing but a poor crow."

The Ass and The Wolf

AN ASS feeding in a meadow saw a Wolf approaching to seize him, and immediately pretended to be lame. The Wolf, coming up, inquired the cause of his lameness. The Ass replied that passing through a hedge he had trod with his foot upon a sharp thorn. He
requested that the Wolf pull it out, lest when he ate him it should injure his throat.

The Wolf consented and lifted up the foot, and was giving his whole mind to the discovery of the thorn, when the Ass, with his heels, kicked his teeth into his mouth and galloped away. The Wolf, being thus fearfully mauled, said, "I am rightly served, for why did I attempt the art of
healing, when my father only taught me the trade of a butcher?”
