Aesop Fables: The Wolf and the House Dog; Wolf in Sheep's Clothing; The Mother and the Wolf

The Wolf and the House Dog There was once a Wolf that had very little to eat since the village Dogs were so alert and cautious. He was truly nothing more than skin and bones, and the thought depressed him. This Wolf chance to meet a fine plump House Dog who had strayed a little too far from home one night. The Wolf would have devoured him immediately, but the House Dog proved to be powerful enough to leave his prints if he attempted.    So the Wolf addressed the Dog modestly, praising him on his good looks. The Dog replied, "You can be as healthy-fed as I am if you wish so". Leave the woods; you're uncomfortable there." Why, every meal requires a lot of effort. Follow my lead, and you'll get along just fine." "What must I do?" the Wolf inquired. "Hardly anything," the House Dog replied. "Chase people who carry canes, bark at beggars, and fawn on house-people." In exchange, you will receive various nibbles, chicken bones, choice

Aesop Fables: The Wolf and His Shadow; The Wolf and the Crane; The Wolf and the Lamb

Image
The Wolf and His Shadow One evening, a wolf emerged from his den in good cheer and with a ravenous appetite. The wolf appeared much larger than he actually was as he ran because the setting sun cast a shadow of him that extended far out onto the ground. Why, the Wolf exclaimed arrogantly, "See how big I am! Fancy me fleeing from a puny Lion! I'll prove to him whether he or I am deserving of being king. ". Right then, a huge shadow completely obscured him, and a Lion quickly dispatched him with a single blow. Moral: Avoid letting your imagination cause you to overlook the truth. The Wolf and the Crane A Wolf had overindulged, and a bone had been lodged crosswise in his neck. He couldn't move it, and he couldn't eat anything. That was obviously a bad situation for a greedy Wolf. So he dashed off to the Crane. He was certain that she would be able to reach the bone and pull it out with her long neck and bill. "I will reward you handsomely if you pull that bone o

The Lion and the Ass

Image
 Author: Aesop One day, the animals respectfully moved aside for the Lion as he marched proudly down a forest aisle. As he passed, however, an Ass yelled something disparaging. A burst of rage hit the Lion. He continued walking quietly though after turning to look at the speaker. He wouldn't give the fool even a single claw stroke of respect. Moral Never take offense at a fool's remarks. Don't pay them any attention.

The Travelers and the Purse

Image
 Author: Aesop One of the two men picked up a full purse while they were both walking alongside the road with another. He exclaimed, "How fortunate I am.  I discovered a purse. It must be filled with gold, based on its weight." Saying "I have found a purse" is not appropriate, his colleague cautioned him. "We have found a purse, not 'how lucky we are,' you should remark. The good and bad fortunes of the road should be shared by all travelers. ". The other retorted angrily, "No, no. I found it and I'm keeping it." They suddenly heard someone yell, "Stop, thief!" and turned to see a crowd of people walking down the street carrying clubs. A panic attack overcame the man who had discovered the purse. If they discover the purse on us, we are lost, he sobbed. The other retorted, "No, no, you wouldn't say 'we' before, so stick to your 'I' now. State "I'm lost."'".

The Oxen and the Wheels

Image
 Author: Aesop A heavily loaded wagon was being pulled along a muddy country road by a pair of oxen. To pull the wagon, they had to use all of their strength, but they were unfazed. The wagon's wheels were of a different kind. They were given a much easier task than the oxen, but they still groaned constantly. The loud whining of the Wheels filled the ears of the poor Oxen as they struggled mightily to pull the wagon through the thick mud. And as you are probably aware, this made it much harder for them to put up with their work. Finally losing patience, the Oxen cried, "Silence!". "  We are bearing all the burden, not you, and we are also remaining silent about it.   What have you Wheels got to complain about so loudly?". Moral The least harmed people complain the loudest.

Aesop Fables: The Boy and the Filberts; The Old Man and His Sons; The Boy Who Cried Wolf

Image
The Boy and the Filberts It was authorized for a boy to reach into a pitcher and retrieve some filberts. He could not pull his hand out again after taking such a sizable fistful. He was unable to extract all of the filberts at once while also being unwilling to give up even one. He started to cry, irritated and dejected. "Be content with half the nuts you've consumed, my boy, and you'll be able to easily free your hand", his mother instructed. "Afterward, you could possibly have some more filberts later. ". Moral Avoid attempting too much all at once. The Old Man and His Sons Once upon a time, there was a father with numerous sons. The sons, on the other hand, were constantly fighting. As the man grew older and weaker, he became concerned that his kids' lives would be ruined if they continued to fight. He begged everyone to live together cheerfully and quietly, but no one listened and continued to act in the same way. The old man gathered his sons o

The Young Crab and His Mother

Image
 Author: Aesop Mother Crab asked her son, "Why in the world do you walk sideways like that?". "Always walk forward straight with your toes pointed out. ". The young Crab obediently replied, "Show me how to walk, mother dear; I want to learn." The old Crab therefore tried and tried to move forward in a straight line. She, like her son, could only walk sideways. She stumbled and hit her nose when she attempted to turn her toes out. Moral Unless you can lead by example, refrain from directing others' behavior.

The Ant and the Dove

Image
 Author: Aesop A Dove observed an Ant plunge into a brook. The Dove dropped a blade of straw next to the struggling Ant after seeing how hard it was trying to reach the bank. The Ant floated safely to land by holding on to the straw like a shipwrecked mariner does to a broken spar. The Ant then observed a man getting ready to throw a stone at the Dove. The Dove was startled and flew to safety in a nearby wood as a result of the Ant stinging him in the heel as he prepared to cast the stone. Moral Never waste a good deed.

The Heron

Image
Author: Aesop A heron was leisurely strolling along the bank of a stream, his eyes fixed on the crystal-clear water, and his long neck and pointed bill poised to snag a potential breakfast morsel. However, Master Heron was difficult to please that morning despite the abundance of fish in the clear water.   No small fry for me, he declared. Such meager food is inappropriate for a heron. ".   Now a beautiful young perch swam close by.   The Heron answered, "No, indeed. "I wouldn't even bother to open my beak for anything like that!".   The fish moved away from the shore's shallow water as the sun rose and dove down into the middle's chilly depths. The Heron was relieved to finally eat breakfast on a tiny snail after failing to see any more fish.   Be careful not to be too demanding or you might end up having to settle for nothing or the worst.lling along the bank of a stream, his eyes fixed on the crystal-clear water, and his long neck and poin

The Frog and the Mouse

Image
 Author: Aesop Young Mouse was running along the edge of a pond where a frog was living in search of adventure. The frog crowed as he swam to the bank after spotting the mouse. “I can guarantee that coming to see me will be enjoyable.” The Mouse didn't require much encouragement because he was eager to explore the world. Although he had some swimming ability, he did not dare risk entering the pond alone. The frog had a strategy. He used a sturdy reed to tie the Mouse's leg to his own. He then jumped into the pond while dragging his foolish companion behind him. The Mouse eventually became tired of it and wanted to head back to land, but the cunning Frog had other ideas. The Mouse was drowned when he pulled him under the water. But before the frog could free himself from the reed that had tied him to the deceased Mouse, a Hawk flew over the pond. The Hawk swooped down, grabbed the Mouse and carried it off after spotting the Mouse's body floating on the water, with th

The Cock and the Fox

Image
 Author: Aesop A wise old Cock flew into a tree to roost one bright evening. As he was about to tuck his head under his wing, and there, directly beneath him, stood Master Fox. The Fox exclaimed in an excited voice, "Have you heard the wonderful news? What news, questioned the Cock? He was extremely afraid of the Fox, so he experienced a strange, fluttery feeling inside of him. The fox told, "Your family, mine, and all other animals have decided to set aside their differences and coexist peacefully and amicably going forward.”Do come down, dear friend, and let us rejoice the happy event together! I simply cannot wait to embrace you. ". How wonderful!" exclaimed the Cock. "I am definitely excited about the news. But he spoke in a disinterested tone and leaned forward on his toes, appearing to be gazing off in the distance. The Fox inquired slightly anxiously, "What is it you see?". The cock replied, "It appears that a couple of dogs ar

The Two Goats

Image
 Author: Aesop A pair of goats, one on either side of a huge gap through which a powerful mountain stream was pouring, happened to be frisking gayly on the rocky steeps of a mountain valley. The only available bridge over the chasm was the trunk of a fallen tree, and even two squirrels couldn't pass each other there without danger. Even the most courageous person would have shivered on the narrow path. Not so for our goats. None of them could stand aside for the other due to their pride. Onto the log one placed her foot. The opposite was also done. They converged horn to horn in the middle. They both fell to the ground and were swept away by the raging torrent below because neither would give way. Moral Giving in is preferable to being stubborn and experiencing bad luck.

The Wild Boar & the Fox

Image
 Author: Aesop When a Fox passed by, a wild boar was busy sharpening his tusks against a tree stump. The Fox was now constantly looking for an opportunity to tease his neighbor. As a result, he made a big deal out of scanning the area nervously and fearfully. The Boar, however, persisted in his work. Finally, the Fox smiled and asked, "Why are you doing that?" "I don't perceive any danger.” Absolutely rite, but there won't be time for this type of work when danger does strike, the boar said. Then, I'll need to be prepared to use my weapons, or I'll pay for it later.” Moral   The best guarantee of peace is war preparation.

The Oak & the Reeds

Image
 Author: Aesop Nearby was a large oak that was home to some slender reeds. The massive Oak proudly stood upright with its one hundred arms raised to the sky when the wind blew. The Reeds, however, knelt low and sang a melancholy song while swaying in the wind. You have cause for complaint, the Oak said. You bow your heads at the slightest breeze that ripples the water's surface, but I, the mighty Oak, stand firm and upright in the face of the howling storm. ". Do not worry about us, the Reeds retorted. "The winds don't hurt us. We do not break as we bowed before them. You have so far resisted their blows with all of your strength and pride. But it's almost over." A massive hurricane sprang forth from the north as the Reeds were speaking. While the yielding Reeds bowed low, the Oak stood tall and bravely battled the storm. As the wind increased in ferocity, the large tree suddenly fell, toppled by its roots, and lay among the pitying Reeds. Moral Whe

The Plane Tree

Image
 Author: Aesop   Walking in the midday sun, two travelers looked for a place to rest in the shade of a spreading tree. They noticed it was a plane tree as they lay there looking up among the pleasant leaves. One of them exclaimed, "How useless is the Plane!" It produces absolutely no fruit and merely leaves a trail of leaf litter on the ground. ". From the Plane Tree, a voice cried out, "Ungrateful creatures!" Men take their benefits ungratefully! You are lying in my cooling shade and you claim that I am of no use. Moral Most of the time, our greatest blessings go unnoticed.

The Gnat & the Bull

Image
 Author: Aesop With unusually loud buzzing for such a small creature, a gnat flew over the meadow and landed on the Bull's horn tip. After a brief period of rest, the gnat got ready to take off by flying. But before he left, he begged the Bull's forgiveness for using his horn as a place to rest. You must be very happy to have me leave at this time, the gnat said to the bull. The Bull answered that he had no idea that a gnat was sitting on her horn, even the bull did not feel anything sitting on her horns.  Moral: We often place ourselves above our neighbors in terms of importance. The greater the conceit, the smaller the mind.

The Fox and the Goat

Image
 Author: Aesop A Fox fell into a well and, though it wasn't too deep, he couldn't get out. A thirsty Goat came by after he had been in the well for quite some time. The Goat assumed the Fox had gone down to drink, so he inquired as to the quality of the water. "The best in the country," replied the astute Fox, "jump in and try it." There is more than enough for both of us." The thirsty Goat instantly got in and began to drink. The Fox got on the Goat's back and sprang out of the well from the point of the Goat's horns. The dumb Goat realized what he had gotten himself into and begged the Fox to help him out. The Fox, on the other hand, was previously on the path to the forest. "If you had the same wisdom as you have beard," the fox remarked as he hurried, "you would have been more careful about seeking how to get out before you leaped in." Moral Look before you leap. Think of the consequences before you act.

The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse

Image
 Author: Aesop A Town Mouse once paid a visit to a rural cousin. The Country Mouse offered wheat stalks, roots, and acorns for lunch, along with a dash of cold water. The Town Mouse ate sparingly, nibbling a bit of this and a little of that and making it clear by her demeanor that she ate the basic food simply to be nice. The pals had a long conversation after the lunch, or rather the Town Mouse chatted about her life in the city while the Country Mouse listened. They then went to bed in a warm hedgerow nest and slept in peace and pleasure till dawn. The Country Mouse dreamed in her sleep that she was a Town Mouse, complete with all the comforts and delights of city life as described by her buddy. So, when the Town Mouse requested the Country Mouse to accompany her to the city the next day, she cheerfully agreed. When they arrived at the Town Mouse's mansion, they discovered the remains of a very beautiful meal on the table in the dining room. There were sweetmeats and jellies, p
