Once there lived a wolf in the dense forest. One fine morning it was thirsty. The wolf went to a stream to quench his thirst. While he was drinking water, he saw a cute lamb that was also drinking water over there. When he saw the lamb his mouth began to water. He turned to the lamb and said, "How dare you make the water muddy? Can't you see that I am drinking water from the same stream?"

The lamb got so much frightened that it could not speak for a while. Then it replied, "Sir, I beg your pardon. The water is running down from you to me. How can I make it muddy?"

The wolf said, "But you bleated me and called me with my names last year" The lamb replied, "Oh Majesty, I was not even born then. How could I abuse you last year?"

The wolf, who was determined to eat the poor lamb, said to it, "Then it must have been your father or mother or brother. You must suffer for your race." Saying so, the wolf caught him, tore him to pieces and ate him up.

Moral: Any excuse is good enough to serve an evil-doer.

There was a cap seller in a small village. He used to go from village to village to sell the caps. He always used a basket for over the head to carry the caps. He always used to go to the town using by a short cut road throughout the forest.

It was a hot summer day and it was very hot. He got tired by walking. To get some rest he sat under a shaded tree.

Soon he fell asleep under the shadow of the tree. Many monkeys were living on that tree. When they saw the caps they climbed down the tree and each one of them put a cap on their head. Then they climbed up the tree again.

The cap seller woke up after some time. He found that his caps were missing. By chance he looked up and saw the monkeys wearing his caps. He tried his best to get his caps back but all his efforts were in vain.

Suddenly an idea struck his mind. He took off his own cap and threw it on the ground. Monkeys did the same as they are imitators. The cap seller collected all his caps and went away happily.

Moral:

Once upon a time there lived a lion in a dense forest. The lion was the King of that forest. He had a powerful voice and he roared to please himself and scare others.

All the animals were scared of him. He also knew every corner of the forest and every animal and every sound in it. There was a pond in the middle of the forest. The Lion would drink water and sleep there for some time, every day.

One day, the Lion drank water from that pond and lay down near by. As his eyes were closing, he heard a new sound. He didn't listened that sound before. He opened his eyes, but he didn’t see anyone! Then, he heard it a second, and a third time. Then the Lion was scared and thought in fear, `whether a hunter is there?’ After some time, a Frog crawled out of the pond and croaked.

The Lion saw that he had been scared out of his wits by so small a creature! He grew angry with the Frog and tore it to pieces with his claws. The poor Frog never croaked again!
