The

Donkey

in the Lion's

Skin

One

day,

a donkey

found a

lion's

skin left in the forest by a hunter, and wishing to amuse himself and to feel powerful, put it on, scaring all the animals he met on his way.

He was very proud of himself

and felt like a real king. But in his delight, he opened his mouth and brayed in triumph.

The

moment he heard the

donkey’s

voice, a

fox

who was running frightened

as well, stopped suddenly and began to laugh. Approaching the

donkey,

he

exclaimed,“

You

could have fooled me, too, had I not heard your bray.” Slide4

The Tortoise and the Hare

The hare was once boasting of his speed before the other animals.

"I have never yet been beaten,"

said he, "when I put forth my full speed. I challenge anyone here to race with me.”

The tortoise said quietly, "I accept your challenge.”

"That is a good joke," said the hare. "I could dance around you all the way.”

"Keep your boasting until you've beaten," answered the tortoise. "Shall we race?”

So a course was fixed and a start was made. The hare darted almost out of sight at once, but soon stopped and, to show his contempt for the tortoise, lay down to have a nap. The tortoise plodded on and plodded on, and when the hare awoke from his nap, he saw the tortoise nearing the finish line, and he could not catch up in time to save the race. Slide6

The Dog and His Reflection

It

happened that a

dog

had got a piece of meat and was carrying it home in his mouth to eat it in peace. Now on his way home he had to cross a plank lying across a running brook. As he crossed, he looked down and saw his own shadow reflected in the water beneath.

Thinking it was another dog with another piece of meat, he made up his mind to have that also.

So he made a snap at the shadow in the water, but as he opened his mouth the piece of meat fell out, dropped into the water and was never seen more.Slide8

The Boy Who Cried Wolf

A

shepherd-boy, who watched a flock of sheep near a village, brought out the villagers three or four times by crying out, "Wolf! Wolf

!” Each time

his neighbors came to help him

, he

laughed at them for their pains.

The

w

olf

, however, did truly come at last. The

shepherd

-boy, now really alarmed, shouted in an agony of terror:

"Pray, do come and help

me!

T

he wolf

is killing the

sheep!”

B

ut

no one paid any heed to his cries, nor rendered any assistance.

The Wolf, having no cause of fear,

destroyed

the whole flock.Slide10

The Ant and The

Grasshoppeer

In

a field one summer's day a

grasshopper

was hopping about, chirping and singing to its heart's content.

An

ant

passed by, bearing along with great toil an ear of corn he was taking to the nest.

     "Why not come and chat with me," said the

grasshopper

, "instead of toiling and moiling in that way?"

     "I am helping to lay up food for the winter," said the

ant

, "and recommend you to do the same."

     "Why bother about winter?" said the

grasshopper

; "We have got plenty of food at present." But the

ant

went on its way and continued its toil.

     When the winter came the

grasshopper

had no food and found itself dying of hunger - while it saw

the ants distributing every day corn and grain from the stores they had collected in the summer.

Then the

grasshopper

knew: It is best to prepare for days of need.Slide12

The Peacock and the

Crane

There

was once a very conceited

peacock

who had a gorgeous tail like no other bird.

So, when he met a

crane

one day, the

peacock

scoffed at

the

crane’s

colorless and dull feathers

, and immediately spread his own colorful tail for the

crane

to see and admire.

Look at my feathers,” he boasted, how they shine in all the colors of the rainbow, while yours are so pale! I am dressed like a king!”

That’s true,” the

crane

answered, “but I can fly high above, among the clouds and the stars and I can see all the beauty of the earth in all its glory, while you live down here just like any other

bird.
