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

The losing rooster slunk away and hid 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 losing rooster immediately came out of its corner and ruled the farmyard from then on.

Mouse Deer and Mr. Crocodile

One day, a mouse deer was walking by the river. He was very starving because he hadn’t eaten since morning. It was midday. But he found nothing in the land but dying trees. “Huh… I hate this branches, I don’t like it!”Across the river, there was green grassland, with young leaves. ‘Hmm.. it seems delicious’ imagined the mouse deer, ‘but how can I get there? I can’t swim, the current is very rapid?’The mouse deer was figuring out the way how to reach there. Suddenly, he jumped to the air,’aha.: he then walked to the edge of the river. He didn’t see the reflection because the water flowed very fast.

He dipped one of his forelegs into the water. A few moments later, appeared Mr. Crocodile showing his sharp teeth. He then laughed, “Ha… ha… ha, you can’t run away from me, You’ll be my tasty lunch!” said the crocodile.”Of course, I can’t. You are very strong, Mr. Croco,” replied the mouse deer frightenedly. Then, the other crocodiles approached moving slowly. They approached the edge of the river.”But, before you all have a party, I wonder how many your members are there in the river. If I know your number exactly, I can distribute my meat evenly,” said the mouse deer.”Oh…o, great, good idea! But we are a large group, I can’t count it precisely,” Mr. Croco moaned. “Leave it to me, and I can make it for you!.”

Now, can you ask the others to line up, from one edge to the other edge of the river? The mouse deer requested. Then the crocodiles arranged themselves in line from one edge to the other edge of the river. The mouse deer jumped to the body of one crocodile to the others while he was counting, ‘one, two, three; and so forth up to ten. Then, at last, he arrived at grassland, and he thanked the dumb crocodiles.

The Bear and the Two Friends

Once, two friends were walking through the forest. They knew that anything dangerous can happen to them at any time in the forest. So they promised each other that they would remain united in case of danger.

Suddenly, they saw a large bear approaching tern. One of the friends at once climbed a nearby tree. But the other one did not know how to climb. So being led by his common sense, he lay down on the ground breathless, pretending to be a dead man.

The bear came near the man lying on the ground. It smelt his ears and slowly left the place. Because the bear did not touch him, the friend on the tree came down and asked his friend on the ground, “Friend, what did the bear tell you into your ears?”The other friend replied, “He advised me not to believe a false friend.

The Good Stepmother

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 though 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.

Once upon a time there lived as neighbors, a bear and a rabbit. The rabbit was a good shot, and the bear, being very clumsy, could not use the arrow to good advantage. The bear would call over the rabbit, and asked the rabbit to take his bow and arrows and came with the bear to the other side of the hill. The rabbit, fearing to arouse the bear’s anger by refusing, consented and went with the bear and shot enough buffaloes to satisfy the hungry family. Indeed he shot and killed so many that the was lots of meat left after the bear and his family had loaded themselves, and packed all they could carry home. The bear was gluttonous and did not want the rabbit to get any of the meat, so the poor rabbit could not even taste the blood from butchering. As the bear would throw e blood and dry it up. Poor rabbit would have to go home hungry after his hard day’s work.

The bear was the father of five children. The youngest child was very kind to the rabbit. The mother bear, knowing that her youngest child was very hearty eater, always gave him an extra large piece of meat, but the youngest child didn’t eat. He would take with him and pretend to play ball with it, kicking it toward the rabbit’s house. When he got close to the door, he would give the meat with such a great kick, that it would fly into the rabbit’s house, and in this way the poor rabbit would get his meal unknown to the papa bear.
