The wolf and the crane


Once upon a time, a wolf was feasting too greedily and quickly, and a bone had stuck crosswise in his throat. He could get it neither up nor down, and of course he could not eat a thing. Naturally that was an awful state of affairs for a greedy Wolf.
So away he hurried to the Crane. He was sure that she, with her long neck and bill, would easily be able to reach the bone and pull it out.
“I will reward you very handsomely,” said the Wolf, “if you help pull out the bone in my throat.”
The Crane, as you can imagine, was very uneasy about putting her head in a Wolf’s throat. But she was grasping in nature, so she did what the Wolf asked her to do.
When the Wolf felt relieved he started to walk away.
“But what about my reward!” called the Crane anxiously.
“What!” snarled the Wolf, whirling around. “Haven’t you got it? Isn’t it enough that I let you take your head out of my mouth without snapping it off?”
Morals
Never expect  reward for serving the wicked.

The story of the eagle and the beetle


An Eagle was chasing a hare, which was running for it dear life and
was at her wits' end to know where to turn for help. luckily she espied a Beetle, and begged it to aid her. So when the Eagle came up the Beetle warned her not to touch the hare, which was under its protection. But the Eagle never noticed the Beetle because it was so small, seized the hare and ate her up. The  Beetle was bitter about this total neglect and letdown it got from the eagle and decides to revenge someday as it keeps an eye on the Eagle's nest. 
whenever the Eagle laid an egg, the beetle climb up  to where the egg is and rolled it out of the nest and broke it.

At last the Eagle got so worried over the loss of her eggs that she went up to Jupiter, who is the special protector of Eagles, and begged him to give her a safe place to nest in; so he let her lay her eggs in his lap. But the Beetle noticed this and made a ball of dirt the size of an Eagle's egg, and flew up and deposited it in Jupiter's lap. When Jupiter saw the dirt, he stood up to shake it out of his robe, and, forgetting about the eggs, he shook them
out too, and they were broken just as before.

Ever since then, they say, Eagles never lay their eggs at the
season when Beetles are about.


Moral lesson 
Always be mindful of how you treat others, you may have all it takes to win the war but do have a rethink because sometimes even the weakest may find means to avenge a wrong.

The little milkmaid

A little  girl was going to the market to sell some filtered cow milk she carried in a pail on her head for her mother.while going on the way she began calculating the extra gain she would get for herself from the milk she had barely sold and the things she would do with the money . "I'll buy some fowls from the poultry said she,"and they will lay eggs each morning, which I will sell to mom's friend.With the money that I get from the sale of these eggs I'll buy myself a beautiful attire and a pair of black sandals; and when I go to market, won't all the young men come up and speak to me? Even wakamma my former friend would be that jealous, this i know; but I don't care. I shall just look at her and toss my head like this. As she spoke she tossed her head back, the Pail fell off her head, and all the milk was spilt. So she had to cry back home and tell her mother what had occurred.

"Oh, my child," said the mother,

"how could you have been so foolish."

Moral:

Do not count your chickens yet while they are still in the egg.
