"Why, Master Crow, how pretty you look!" said the sly fox. "If your voice is as fine as your feathers, you must be the grandest bird in all these woods!" Now the crow was an ugly bird, with messy feathers and a harsh voice. The fox's praise thrilled him. He was proud of his feathers and voice. He opened his beak to sing, and the cheese fell out. "Ha, ha!" laughed the fox, snapping up the cheese. "That will teach you!" What is the moral of the story?

When the stork arrived, the mean fox served the soup in flat bowls. Poor Stork! She tried to sip the soup with her long beak, but the bowl was too shallow. The fox lapped up all his broth in a minute. The stork couldn't eat at all! A few days later, the stork invited the fox to supper. He hurried over to her house, sniffing at the smell of tasty stew in the air. "Here you are!" said the stork. With a little smile, she served the stew in tall glass jars. The fox couldn't eat any, but the stork easily ate all of hers with her long beak. The fox realized that the stork was teaching him a lesson. He hung his head.

The Frog and the Ox A frog once sat on a lily pad looking at a large ox. She said to herself, "Now that's a good size to be!" The frog, who was no bigger than your hand, began puffing herself up. "Look at me!" she cried to the ox. "Am I as big as you?" "No," said the ox. "Now?" cried the frog, puffing away. The ox just blinked lazily. "Now?" she said, huffing and puffing, determined to be bigger than nature had meant her to be. The ox shook his head. He knew the frog shouldn't try to be like him. The silly frog gave one more puff and ...she burst! What is the moral of this story?

A Hare was making fun of the Tortoise one day for being so slow. "Do you ever get anywhere?" he asked with a mocking laugh. "Yes," replied the Tortoise, "and I get there sooner than you think. I'll run you a race and prove it." The Hare was much amused at the idea of running a race with the Tortoise, but for the fun of the thing he agreed. So the Fox, who had consented to act as judge, marked the distance and started the runners off. The Hare was soon far out of sight, and to make the Tortoise feel very deeply how ridiculous it was for him to try a race with a Hare, he lay down beside the course to take a nap until the Tortoise should catch up. The Tortoise meanwhile kept going slowly but steadily, and, after a time, passed the place where the Hare was sleeping. But the Hare slept on very peacefully; and when at last he did wake up, the Tortoise was near the goal. The Hare now ran his swiftest, but he could not overtake the Tortoise in time.

His mother tried to teach him the value of getting an education and having a backup plan, but Cameron would respond the same way every time, "Mom, I won't need to know any of that boring old stuff when I'm famous, You'll see." But there was one major problem with Cameron's plan; wasn't any good at singing. Cameron wanted to be a singer so badly, that he didn't notice the pained look on the faces of those who endured his singing. Because he wanted to be a singer to badly, when honest people told him to find something else to do with his life, he accused them of being "jealous haters" and ignored their advice.
