The Judge Monkey

Once upon a time, two cats were passing through a street. Both pounced upon it and caught the loaf at the same time. “It is mine. I saw it first," claimed one cat. While the other said, “I pounced upon it first and so it belongs to me." After having fought for a while, one cat said, “Let us divide it into two and take one piece each." “Indeed,a good idea," said the other cat. “But how do we divide it now?"

A monkey sitting on the branch of the tree had watched all that happened between the two cats. “That loaf of bread looks good. I could do with it myself," he thought. Slowly he came down from the tree and walked up to the confused cats.

“Yes, my dear friends! Can I help you?" asked the monkey. The cats told the monkey what the problem was and said, “Why do not you be the judge between us?" When the monkey nodded, the cats said, “Please dividethis loaf for us."

The clever monkey smilingly broke the bread into two pieces. But one piece was a little bigger that the other. “OH no! I will take a little bite of this bigger piece to make both equal," said the monkey, slyly. He took a bite from the bigger piece. But, he had taken a big bite. “Uh oh! Now it has become smaller than the other piece. I will just have to take a little bite from this piece now," said the clever monkey.

The Judge Monkey took another bite. The two cats sat in front of the monkey, seeing the loaf of bread they had found getting smaller and smaller. When the whole loaf was eaten by the monkey, the monkey said, “I am sorry. I was really difficult to divide that loaf. I must be going now." And the monkey jumped onto the tree and was gone. “If only we had not quarreled among ourselves, we would have remained united and we need not have to go to the monkey and to become hungry now," said the two cats.

Whom did the cats meet of their problem?

The Rabbit and the Wolf

One day when a rabbit was walking in the forest, he heard someone crying out, "Help! Help!" He looked around, and finally he saw a wolf. A great stone had fallen on his back so that he could not get up. He asked the rabbit's help, and said that he would die if nobody help him.

The rabbit worked very hard, and finally managed to get the big stone of the wolf's back. Then the wolf jumped up and caught the rabbit in his mouth. The rabbit cried and asked for mercy, but the wolf insisted on killing him for his meal.

Then the rabbit said, "No good person kill someone who has helped him. It is not fair. You can ask the duck, who is very fat and knows everything."

So both of them went to the duck. He listened to the story, and then he said, "Show me the stone." They went to the stone.

"Now let me be sure about this," said the duck. "Put the stone on the wolf's back exactly as it was when you found him." So the wolf lay down, and with much effort the stone was put on his back again.

The Lamb and the Wolf

One day the wolf was slaking his thirsty at stream when he chanced to see a lamb also drinking at some distance down the stream.

Outraged, he growled, “You are muddying my drinking water, now I shall eat you.

The lamb protested, “But, Sir, how can I be muddying your drinking water? I am farther down stream than you are. The water is flowing from your part of the stream to where I am”.

“Upstream or downstream, your drinking is muddying my water, and I shall eat you”. So, the wolf leaped upon the lamb and devoured him.

The Dog and The Rooster

One day, a dog and a rooster went for a walk in the forest. They walked till it was dark, and looked for a place to sleep.

The dog found a place to sleep at the foot of big tree. The rooster slept on a branch high up in the tree. As the sun rises in the next morning, the rooster crowed, “cock-a-doodle-do, cock-a-doodle-do!”

This woke up a fox living nearby. He quickly went to look for the rooster, and to have him for breakfast! When he found the rooster high up in a tree, he had an idea.

He spoke sweetly to the rooster, saying ”come down, dear rooster, and let’s be friends.”

The clever rooster answered in a sweet voice also, I will come down, but you must first wake up my other dear friend who’s a sleep at the base of the tree.”

The fox did as he was asked. Of course the dog was angry because of being woken up, and he barked angrily at the fox. The fox was so frightened that he ran away. The rooster and the dog then went peacefully on their way look for some breakfast.

The Dog and the Shadow

Once there lived a greedy dog in a cave. When he came to a village, he had got a piece of meat. He was carrying it home in his mouth to eat it in peace.

On his way home, he had to cross a plank lying across a running small stream. As he crossed, he looked down and he saw his own shadow reflected in the water beneath. Thinking it was another dog with another piece of meat, his greedy mind came. “ I should have that too,” he thought. So he made a snap (=menerkam) at the shadow in the water, but as he opened his mouth the piece of meat fell out, dropped into the water and was never seen more. He had lost his piece of meat because of his greedy mind to have another at his own shadow. Then he walked home sadly and hungrily

Once when a lion was asleep, a little mouse began up and down upon him; this soon awoke the lion, who placed his huge paw upon the mouse, and opened his big jaws to swallow him.

“Pardon, O King “cried the little mouse “forgive me this time. I shall never forget it: who knows I may be able to do you a good turn some of these days? ”. The lion was so tickled at the idea of the mouse being able to help him. Then he lifted up his paw and let him go.

One day the lion was caught in a trap. Some hunters want to carry him alive to the king, tied him to a tree while they went in search of a wagon to carry him in. Just then the little mouse happened to pass by and see the sad plight in which the lion was. The little mouse went up to him and soon gnawed away the ropes that bound the king of the beats.

But, soon they passed two men standing near the road, “Look at that” said one of the man. “Look at that” said one of the man. “The young boy is riding while his poor old father has to walk.” So, the son got of the donkey and the farmer got on. They continued down the road toward town.

After a short time, they came to some old women standing at a corner. One of them asked the farmer. “ How can you let your son walk while you ride? He must be very tired. What kind of father are you? So, the father lifted his son up and both of them rode until they reached town.

When they got to the town, a man saw them and asked “Is that donkey yours?” “Yes,” said the farmer. “You are making that animal work too hard,” said the man. “You should carry that donkey!”
