She will do no harm.” “And, mother dear” said the young rat,” I saw a very fine thing there. It walked on four legs. It was covered with soft white fur. It looked at me and said softly, “Miaw!

She wanted to get more eggs from the hen. She said, “My hen now gives me only one egg a day. If I need her with more food, she will surely lay two or three eggs everyday.” So, she gave the hen more food to eat. The hen became fat and lazy. And finally a time came when she laid no egg at all. The greedy woman said to herself, “What a fool I am! I wanted to get more eggs. Now, I do not even get one egg a day.” Moral: Greed is an evil.

He did not care to store food for winter. Now he had nothing to eat in winter. He said to the ant, “You have a good store of food. But I have nothing to eat. Why don’t you give me a little from your store?” The ant replied, “ I worked hard throughout the summer to store food for winter. What did you do at that time? “ The grasshopper said, “ I did not like to work in summer. I only sang then.” The ant said,” Since you sang the whole summer, you may now dance. I have no food for a lazy thing like you.” Saying this, he drove the grasshopper away. Moral: Work is worship The boastful mothers

Once a few animal-mothers met in a forest. Each mother boasted about the number of children she had. Mother sheep said, “ I have three lambs. They are very beautiful.” Mother Wolf said,” I have four strong and beautiful cubs.” Mother Dog said, “ I have five pups. They are very fine pups.” Mother Fox said, “I have six pretty cubs. They always play together.”The other animal mothers also boasted about their children. But the lioness only heard the talk of the other animal-mothers. She said nothing. At last Mother Wolf said,” Sister, how many children have you?”The lioness said.” I have only one child but that child is a lion.” All the other mothers were silent. Moral: Be not be boastful Pussy cat and the queen Rita had a pet-a Pussy Cat. Rita saw her after a long time. So she asked, “ Pussy Cat, Pussy Cat, where have you been? Pussy Cat replied, “I’d been to London to see the Queen.” Rita wanted to know more from her. She, therefore, asked again,” Pussy Cat what did you do there?” Pussy Cat proudly replied,” I caught a little mouse under the chair.” Rita was now proud of her Pussy Cat. Rita patted Pussy and gave her nice food to eat.
