The man wanted to meet the fairy. He wanted to see the beautiful palace made of ice. Many people tried to climb the mountain but all of them did not succeed. Some of them gave up before they met the fairy and some others could not stand the cold.

This young man was different. He could climb the mountain and did not give up. He had to climb for the whole week. The weather was so cold but he kept climbing to the fairy’s palace.

He finally met the beautiful fairy and they fell in love each other. But the fairy was not happy. We cannot live together . My father would not allow me to marry a man, “ said the fairy.

Why not? Asked the young man.

Because we live in two different worlds. I can’t stay in your world because it too hot and you can’t stay n my palace because it too cold. I’m afraid you will die,” explained the fairy.

And they had to separate. Since that day, the young man promised to himself that he would not marry anyone. The beautiful fairy was so sad that she cried every day. Every time her tears flowed down on the mountain, it became a beautiful white flower called edelweiss.

The Wolf and The Goat

A wolf saw a goat grazing at the edge of a high cliff. The wolf smacked his lips at the thought of a fine goat dinner.

“My dear friend,” said the wolf in his sweetest voice, “aren’t you afraid you will fall down from that cliff? Come down here and graze on this fine grass beside me on safe, level ground.”

“No, thank you,” said the goat.

“Well then,” said the wolf, “aren’t you cold up there in the wind? You would be warmer grazing down here beside me in this sheltered area.”

“No, Thank you,” said the goat.

“But the grass tastes better down here!” said the exasperated wolf,”Why dine alone?”

“My dear wolf,” the goat finally said, “are you quite sure that it is My dinner you are worrying about and not your own?”

What did the wolf ask when he saw the goat grazing at the edge of a high cliff?

Hansel and Gretel

The old witch locked Hansel in a cage and set Gretel to clean the house. She planned to eat them both. Each night the children cried and begged the witch to let them go.

Meanwhile, at home, their stepmother was beginning to wish she had never tried to get rid of the children. “I must find them,” she said and set off into the forest.

Many hours later, when her feet were tired from walking and her lips were dry from thirst, she came to the cottage belonging to the witch. The stepmother peeped through the window. Her heart cried out when she saw the two children.

She picked up the broom leaning against the door and crept inside. The witch was putting some stew in the oven when the stepmother gave her an almighty push. The witch fell into the oven and the stepmother shut the door.

‘Children, I have come to save you,’ she said hugging them tightly. I have done a dreadful thing.

I hope in time you will forgive me. Let me take you home and become a family again. They returned to their home and the stepmother became the best mother anyone could wish to have, and of course they lived happily ever after!

A Story From The Farm Yard Two roosters were fighting fiercely to be the king of the farm yard. One finally gained advantage and the other surrendered.

The loosing rooster slunk away and hid itself in a quiet corner. The winner flew up to a high wall, flapped its wings and crowed its victory, as loud as it could.

Suddenly, an eagle came sailing through the air and carried it off, with its talons. The loosing rooster immediately came out of its corner and ruled the farm yard from then on.

The Smartest Animal

Once there was a farmer from Laos. Every morning and every evening, he ploughed his field with his buffalo.

One day, a tiger saw the farmer and his buffalo working. The tiger was surprised to see a big animal listen to a small animal. He wanted to know more about the buffalo and the man.

After the man went home, the tiger spoke to the buffalo. “You are so big and strong. Why do you do everything the man tells you?” the buffalo answered, “Oh the man is very intelligent.”

The Tiger Asked, “Can you tell me how intelligent he is?” “No, I can’t tell you,” Said The Buffalo. “But you can ask him” added buffalo.

So next day the tiger said to the man, “Can I see your intelligence?” But the man answered, “It at home.” “Can you go and get it?” asked the tiger. “Yes” said the man, “But I’m afraid you will kill my buffalo when I gone. Can I tie you to a tree?”

After the man tied the tiger to the tree, he didn’t go home to get his intelligence. He took his plough and hit the tiger. Then he said, “Now you know about my intelligence even you haven’t seen it.”

Once, a cap seller was passing through a jungle. He was dead tired and needed to rest. Then, he stopped spread a cloth under a tree. He placed his bag of caps near him and lay down with his cap on his head.

The cap seller had a sound sleep for one hour. When he got up, the first thing he did was to look into his bag. He was startled when he found all his caps were not there. He was wondering where they could have gone. Indeed, he was greatly puzzled.

When he looked up sky, he was very surprised to see monkeys sitting on the branches of a tree, each wearing a cap on his head. They had evidently done it to imitate him.

He decided to get his caps back by making a humble request to the monkeys. In return, the monkeys only made faces of him. When he began to make gestures, even when he raised his first towards them to threaten them, they also imitated him.

At last he hit upon a clever idea. “Monkeys are a great imitator,” he thought. So he took off his own cap and threw it down on the ground. As he had expected, all the monkeys took off the caps threw them down on the ground. Quickly he stood up and collected the caps, put them back into his bag and went away.

Why was each monkey wearing a cap on their head?
