After the meal the friends had a long talk or rather the city mouse talked about her life in a city while the country mouse listened. and then they went to He lay down in a cozy nest and slept peacefully until morning as he slept, the country mouse dreamed that he was a city mouse with all the luxuries and delights of the city life that his friend had described to him, so that the next day, when the town mouse asked. the country mouse went with her to her house, she gladly said yes. When they arrived at the mansion where the village mouse lived, they found on the dining room tables the remains of a very fine banquet, there were meats to sleep with. and jellies pastries delicious cheeses indeed the most tempting foods a mouse can imagine, but just as a field mouse was about to nibble on a delicious piece of dough, he heard a cat meowing loudly and scratching at the door in great fear of The microphone slipped away to a hiding place where they stayed still for a long time, barely daring to breathe.

The first time he jumped, he missed it by a lot, so he backed away and took a running leap towards it only to come up short again and again. he tried but in vain now he sat down and looked at the grapes with disgust what a fool I am he said here I am getting tired to get a bunch of sour grapes that are not worth gawking at and he left with much, much disdain, there are many who they try to despise and belittle what is out of their reach the bunch of sticks a certain father had a family of children who were always fighting among themselves no word he could say did the slightest good so he searched his mind for something very striking example that should do to them Seeing that discord would lead them to misfortune one day when the quarrel had been much more violent than usual and each of the singers was depressed, he sullenly asked one of them to bring him a bunch of sticks and then handing over the package to each of his children in turn, he told them to try to break it, but although each one did their best, none of them could do it, the father untied the package and gave the sticks to his children to break them one by one. "My children did it very easily," said the father, "don't you see how true it is that if you agree and help each other, it will be impossible for your enemies to harm you, but if you are divided among yourselves, you will not be stronger than a single stick in that package." in unity is strength the wolf and the crane a wolf had been eating too greedily and the bone had gotten stuck inhis throat couldn't raise it or lower it and of course he couldn't eat anything.

Naturally, that was a terrible situation for a greedy wolf, so he rushed towards the crane, he was sure that she, with her long neck and beak, could easily reach the bone and remove it. I will reward you very generously, said the Wolf, if you take that bone from me, the crane, as you can imagine, was very uncomfortable about putting her head on a wolf's throat, but she was grasping by nature, so she did what the wolf asked him to do when the wolf felt that the bone was. He left and started walking away, but what about my reward?

He anxiously called the crane that kissed the wolf circling, don't you have it? Isn't it enough that I let you take your head out of my mouth without breaking it? Do not expect reward for serving the wicked the donkey and his driver a donkey was being led along a path that led down the side of the mountain when suddenly it got into his foolish head to choose his own path he could see his stable at the foot of The quickest way down seemed to be over the edge of the nearest cliff just as he was about to jump his master grabbed him by the tail and tried to pull him back but the stubborn donkey wouldn't give in and pulled with all his might. "His strength very well," said his master, "follow your path, obstinate beasts, and see where it takes you with what he let go, and the foolish donkey fell headlong down the side of the mountain, those who do not listen to reason but stubbornly follow their own path against the friendly advice from those who are wiser than they. the road to misfortune the oxen and the wheels a pair of oxen were dragging a heavily loaded cart along a muddy country road they had to use all their strength to pull the cart but they did not complain the wheels of the cart were of a different type the tasks they had They were very light compared to those of the oxen, they creaked and groaned at every step, the poor oxen that pulled with all their strength to drag the cart through the deep mud had their ears filled with a loud moan from the wheels and This , perhaps she knows, made her job that much harder to endure.

We are pulling all the way, not you and we stay still, besides, they can most of those who suffer the least the lion and the mouse a lion lay asleep in the forest with his big head resting on his paws a timid little mouse ran into He unexpectedly and in his fear and haste to escape ran through the lion's nose and woke up from his nap.

Forgive me, beg poor Mouse, please let me go and one day I will surely repay you.

A shepherd boy was looking after his master's sheep near a dark forest not far from the village. He soon found life in the pasture very boring. All he could do for fun was talk to his dog or play with his shepherds. One day, as he sat watching the sheep and the quiet forest and thinking what he would do if he saw a wolf, he thought of a plan to entertain himself. His teacher had told him to call for help if a wolf attacked the flock and villagers. It would scare him away, so now, although he had not seen anything that looked like a wolf, he ran towards the village shouting at the top of his lungs Wolf Wolf as he expected, the villagers who heard the cry left their work and ran with great enthusiasm towards the grass, but when They got there they found the boy doubled over laughing at the trick he had played on them a few days later, the shepherd shouted Wolf Wolf again the villagers ran to help him only to be laughed again one night.

As the sun set behind the forest and the shadows crept across the grass, a wolf actually jumped out of the undergrowth and fell upon the sheep in terror. The boy ran towards the village shouting Wolf, Wolf, but although the villagers heard the cry, they did so. not running to help him like they had done before he can't fool us again they said the wolf killed many of the sheep children and then snuck into the forest liars are not believed even when they tell the truth the net and the bowl one The ant flew over the meadow with a lot of buzz for such a small creature and landed on the tip of one of the horns of a bowl.

After resting a little, he prepared to fly, but before leaving he asked the Bulls for forgiveness for having used two oaths. as a resting place you must be very glad to have me oh now he said it doesn't matter to me the bull replied he didn't even know you were there we are often more important in our own eyes than in the eyes of our neighbor the smaller the mind the bigger It was the presumption the Planetarium two travelers walking under the midday sun looked for the shade of a very spreading tree to rest while they lay looking up among the pleasant leaves they saw that it was a simple tree how useless the plain is said one of them does not bear fruit any and it only serves to fill the ground with leaves ungrateful creatures said a voice from the Planetarium you lie here in my refreshing shadow and yet you say that I am useless this is how ungrateful Leo Jupiter men receive their blessings our best blessings are often the least appreciated the farmer and the stork, a cheerful group of cranes had asked a stork with a very simple and trusting nature to visit a newly planted field, but the party ended depressingly with all the birds tangled in the meshes of the farmers' nets. stork begged the farmer to forgive him please let me go he begged I belong to the family of storks who you know are honest with good natured birds plus I didn't know that the cranes were going to steal you may be a very good bird the farmer replied but I caught you with the robber cranes and you will have to share the same punishment with them you are judged by the company you have the sheep and the pig one day a shepherd discovered a fat pig in the meadow where his sheep were grazing, he quickly captured the pig, which screamed at the top of his lungs the moment the shepherd laid his hands on it, one would have thought to hear the loud squeal that the pig was being cruelly hurt, but despite its squeals and struggles to escape, the shepherd stuffed his prize under the arm and headed towards the butchers in the market.

The sheep in the pasture were very amazed and amused by the pig's behavior and followed the shepherd and his load to the pasture gate. What makes you scream like that? asked one of the sheep. The pastor often catches and takes one of us away, but we should feel very ashamed to make such a terrible scandal as you do. That's very good. The pig responded with a squeal. and a frantic kick when he catches you he's only looking for your wool but he wants my bacon it's easy to be brave when there's no danger the travelers and the bag two men were traveling together on the road when one of them picked up a well-filled bag how lucky I am he said I've found A bag, judging by its weight, must be full of gold.

Don't say, I found a bag, said his companion. He says, rather, we have found a bag and how lucky we are travelers. They should share equally the fortunes and misfortunes of the road. No, no, the other answered angrily. I found it and I'm going to keep it. At that moment they heard a shout of stop thief and looking around they saw a mob of people armed with clubs coming down the road. The man who had found the bag panicked. We are lost if they find our bag. he cried no he didn't answer the other didn't you say we before so now stick to your I say I'm lost we can't expect anyone to make him share our misfortunes unless we are willing to share our good fortune also the lion and the donkey one day while the The lion walked proudly through a forest corridor and the animals respectfully made way for him and asked him to make a derogatory comment as he passed.

The lion felt a flash of anger, but when he turned his head and saw who had spoken, he continued walking in silence. wouldn't honor the fool even with a swipe of his claws, don't resent a fool's comments, ignore them, the frogs who wanted the King The frogs were tired of governing themselves, they had so much freedom it had spoiled them and they did nothing but sit croaking bored and wishing for a government that could entertain them with the blank confidence of royalty and govern them the way they wanted. They knew they were being ruled without milk and water rule for them, they declared, so they sent a petition to Jupiter asking for a king.

Jupiter saw what simple, foolish creatures they were, but to keep them quiet and make them think they had a king, he threw them away. Because of a huge log that fell into the water with a big splash, the frogs hid among the reeds and grasses, thinking that the new king was some fearsome Giants, but they soon discovered how tame and peaceful the log king was in the short time that the frogs were there. younger. using it as a diving platform while the elder frogs turned it into a gathering place where they complained loudly to Jupiter about the government to teach the frogs a lesson, the ruler of the gods now sent a crane to be king of the earth of the grog, the crane turned out to be a very different kind of king from the old trunk king that he devoured for the poor frogs on the right and left and they soon saw how foolish they had been in their mournful cawing and they begged Jupiter to take away the cruel tyrants. before they were all destroyed, how now?

Oh shouted Jupiter, are you still not happy? You have what you asked for and only you are to blame for your misfortunes. Make sure you can improve your condition before sleeping to change the owl and grasshopper. The owl always falls asleep during the day and after. Sunset when the rosy light fades from the sky and the shadows rise slowly through the forest, she comes bristling and blinking from the old hollow tree, now who strange whoo-whoo-whoo-whoo echoes through the quiet forest and she starts looking for the insects. and beetles, frogs and mice that he likes to eat so much now there was a certain old owl who had become very angry and difficult to please as he grew older, especially anything that stirred in his daily dreams on a warm summer afternoon while he pulled The way into his den in the old oak tree on the other side of a nearby began a cheerful but very hoarse song popping the head of the old owl from the opening in the tree that served as a door and four windows, stay away from here sir, he told him. to the grasshopper, isn't it? good manners, you should at least respect my age and let me sleep peacefully, but the grasshopper responded so foolishly that he had as much right to his place in the sun as an owl's head does to its place in the old oak tree, so he struck harder and The wise old white owl sang even more hoarsely, although it would be no use arguing with the grasshopper or with anyone else.

Furthermore, her eyes were not sharp enough during the day to allow her to punish the grasshopper as he deserved, so she put aside all the harsh words and spoke to him very kindly, well sir, she said that if I must stay awake I will sit down. right now to enjoy your song now that I think about it I have a wonderful wine here sent to me from Olympus from which I have been told that Apollo drinks before sinking before the higher gods, please come up and try this delicious drink with me. I know it will make you sing like Paolo himself.

The foolish grasshopper was deceived by the flattering words of the owls. Happy jumping into the owls' den. but as soon as she was close enough that the old owl could see her clearly, she pouts with the punim in a team. Praise is not proof of true admiration. Don't let flattery make you lose your guard against an enemy, the wolf and his shadow. A wolf came out of his den one morning in a very good mood and with an excellent appetite while the setting sun was running, it was projected very far on the ground and it seemed as if the wolf were a hundred times larger than it really was, why did the wolf exclaim? with pride look how big I imagine running away from an insignificant lion I will show you who is fit to be king he or I at that moment an immense shadow completely erased him and the next moment and the lions knocked him down with a single blow don't let your fantasy makes you forget realities the oak tree and the crowns a giant oak tree stood near a stream in which slender eaves grew when the wind blew the great oak tree stood proudly with its hundred arms raised towards the sky but the reeds They bowed to the wind and you sang a sad and lugubrious song you have reason to complain to the oak tree the slightest breeze that shakes the surface of the water makes you bow your head whileI, the mighty oak, stand tall and firm before the howl of the Tempest, do not worry about us, answered the reeds, the winds do not harm us, we bow before them and that is why we do not break you in all your pride and your strength until now have resisted. its blows but the end draws near as the reed spoke a great hurricane rushed in from the north the oak stood proud and fought against the storm while the yielding reeds bowed as they redoubled with fury and suddenly the great tree fell torn at the roots and he stayed between the peaks he needs better to give in when it is fun to resist and stubbornly resist and be destroyed the rat and the elephant a rat was traveling along the Kings Highway, he was a very proud rat considering his small size and the bad reputation that all rats have like the Mr. the rat walked, he stayed mainly in the ditch, he noticed a big commotion on the way and soon a large procession appeared, it was the king in his entourage, the king was riding on a huge elephant adorned with the most beautiful ornaments with the king on his luxurious house we are the royal dog and cat a large crowd of people followed the procession they were so absorbed in the admiration of the elephant that the rat did not notice his pride was hurt what fools he cried look at me and you will soon forget that clumsy elephant is his great size that makes your eyes pop out or is it his wrinkled skin why do I have eyes and ears and as many legs as him I am of such importance and but at that moment the real cat spied on him and the next moment the rat knew that it was not as important as an elephant a resemblance to the grade in some things does not make us great children and frogs some children were playing one day on the edge of a pond where a family of frogs lived the children had fun throwing stones into the pond to make them jump over the water, the stones flew thick and fast and the children had a lot of fun, but the poor frogs in the pond finally trembled with fear.

One of the frogs, the oldest and bravest, stuck its head out of the water and He said: Oh, please, dear children, stop playing cruelly, although it may be fun for you, for us it means death, always stop to think if your fun may not be the cause of another's unhappiness. The Crow and the Image In a period of dry weather when the birds could find very little to drink, a thirsty crow found a box with some water but the box was tall and had a narrow neck and no matter how hard the crow tried he couldn't reach the water, the poor thing.

He felt that he must die of thirst so he got the idea to take some small pebbles and he dropped them into the jar one by one with each pebble the water rose a little higher until it was finally close enough to be able to drink in case of hurry a good use of our ingenuity can help us get rid of the ants and grasshoppers one bright day in late autumn a family of ants was busy under the warm sun drying the grain they had stored during the summer when a hungry grasshopper appeared with the violin under my arm and humbly begged for a bite.

What the surprised ants shouted. Didn't you save anything for the winter? What the hell were you doing all last summer? I didn't have time to store food. The grasshopper complained. I was so busy making music that before I knew it this summer was gone the ants shrugged their shoulders and argued about making music where they cried very well now they dance and turned their backs on the grasshopper and continued with their work there is a time to work on a It was time to play image run, a sacred image was being carried to the temple, it was mounted on a donkey adorned with garlands and magnificent ornaments and a large procession of priests and pages followed it through the streets while the donkey walked alongside to inclined people. their heads reverently or fell on their knees and the donkey thought that the honor was being paid to himself with his head full of this foolish idea, he became so swollen with pride and vanity that he stopped and headed towards Braille alley, but in In the middle of his song, his driver guessed what his ass had gotten into his head and began to beat him mercilessly with a stick, go with you, pass by, he cried, the honors are not for you but for the image you carry, the moral of the

story

, don't do it. try to take the credit that is due to others a crow and a swan a crow that you know is black as coal was envious of the swan because its feathers were as white as pure snow the foolish bird had the idea that if it lived like the swan swimming and diving all day and eating the weeds and plants that grow in the water his feathers turned white like the swans so he left his home in the forests and fields and flew to live in the lakes and swamps , but even though he washed and washed all day almost drowning in them, his feathers are still as black as ever and since the seaweed he ate did not suit him, he became thinner and thinner and finally died.

The moral of the

story

. a change of habits will not alter nature the two goats two goats frolicking happily on the rocky slopes of a mountain valley met by chance, one on each side of a deep chasm through which a powerful mountain torrent was pouring the trunk of a tree fallen formed the only means of crossing the chasm and in this not even two squirrels could have crossed safely the narrow path would have made the bravest tremble but not so our goats there to move aside for the other a couple of feet or the trunk the other He did the same in the middle, they met horn with horn, neither wanted to betray and so both fell, being carried away by the undulating torrent beneath the moral of the story, it is better to give in than to come to misfortune through stubbornness, the donkey and the load of salt to a merchant. driving his ass back home from the seashore with a heavy load of salt came to a river crossed by a shallow Ford.

They had crossed this river many times before without accident, but this time the merchant slipped and fell halfway and when the merchant finally got him to his feet much of the salt had melted away, delighted to find that his load had become much lighter. The donkey finished the trip very happily the next day the merchant went for another load of salt on the way home the donkey remembered what had happened in The Ford dropped into the water on purpose and again got rid of most of his load . The angry merchant immediately turned around and led the donkey back to the seashore, where he loaded it with two large baskets of sponges.

At the fort, the donkey fell again. he finished but when he stood up he was very disconsolate he asked him that he crawled home under a load 10 times heavier than before the moral of the story the same measures do not work for all circumstances the lion and the net, go with your vile insect said an angry lion to a net that was buzzing around his head but the net was not disturbed in the slightest. Stung hard in the nose, the lion, mad with rage, hit the net fiercely but only managed to tear it with his claws again and again.

The mosquitoes stunned the lion, who now roars terribly, finally exhausted with rage and covered in wounds from his own teeth and claws. They had made the lion abandon the fight. The mosquito buzzed to tell the whole world of his victory, but instead he flew straight into a spider's web and there the one who had defeated the king of beasts met a miserable end. The prey of a small spider. The smallest of our enemies is often the most fearsome. Pride in a success should not make us unprepared. The jump in Rhodes A certain man who visited foreign lands could say little when he returned home except the wonderful adventures he had experienced and the great deeds he had accomplished.

He had performed abroad, one of the feats he recounted was a jump he made in a city called Rhodes, that escape was so great that he said no other man could jump such a great distance. Many people and roads had seen him do it and would prove that what he said was true, no witnesses were needed, said one of the heroes, suppose that the roads of this city now show us how far we can jump, the feats count, not the words of boasting, the and the jewel the era He was busy scratching and scraping to find something to eat for himself and his family when by chance he found a precious jewel that had been lost by its owner and said that you are undoubtedly very expensive and that the one who lost you would give a great gift.

The monkey and the camel in a great celebration in honor of the lion king. They asked the monkey to dance for the company. His dancing was really very intelligent and all the animals were very pleased with his grace and lightness. The praise showered on the monkey made the camel envious. He was very sure that I could dance as well as him. The monkey, if not better, made his way through the crowd that had gathered around the monkey and rising on his hind legs began to dance, but the great camel made himself very ridiculous as he kicked his mischievous legs and twisted his long, clumsy neck. .

Furthermore, the animals found it difficult to keep their toes under their heavy hooves, finally one of his enormous paws came within an inch of the lion king's nose. The animals were so displeased that they, furious, attacked the camel and drove it away. Shortly afterwards a snack was served consisting mainly of camel hump and ribs, the company does not try to take a better look at the boar and the fox. A boar was sharpening its fangs against the stump of a tree when a fox appeared. The Fox was always looking for an opportunity to mock his neighbors, so he made a big show of looking around anxiously as if he were afraid of some hidden enemy, but the boar continued with his work, why do you do that?

Ask the Fox lastly with a smile there is no danger that I can see quite true answered the boar but when danger comes there will be no time for a job like this my weapons will have to be ready for use then or I will suffer for it the preparation for the war is the best guarantee of peace the donkey the fox and the lion a donkey and a fox had become good comrades and were constantly in each other's company while the donkey cut some fresh vegetables the fox devoured a chicken from the neighboring yard the farm or a piece of cheese stolen from the dairy one day the couple unexpectedly encountered a lion the donkey was very scared but the fox calmed his fears I will talk to him he said then the fox walked bravely towards the lion your highness he said in a loud voice He lowered himself so that the donkey couldn't hear him.

I have a good plan in my head. If you promise not to hurt me, I'll leave that silly creature in a pit he can't get out of and you can feast. The lion gladly agreed and the Fox returned to the donkey. I made him promise not to hurt us. Said the Fox, but come, I know a good place to hide until he leaves, so the Fox left the donkey in a deep well, but when the lion. the donkey's saw was his to take he first felled the traitor Fox the traitors can expect betrayal the birds the beasts and the bat the birds and the beasts declared war on each other no compromise was possible and so they went to the tooth and claw it is said that the fight arose from the persecution that the race of geese suffered from the teeth of the Fox family the beasts had also provoked the fight the eagle constantly pounced on the hair and the owl ate mice daily it was a terrible In the battle, many hares and many mice died, the chickens and geese fell in heaps and the victor always stopped for a feast, now that the bad family had not openly joined either side, it was a very political race, so than when they saw that the birds won.

They were birds for all they were worth, but when the tide of the battle turned, they immediately sided with the beasts when the battle ended, the bats' conduct being discussed at the peace conference. Such deception was unforgivable and the birds and beasts made common cause. to drive out the bats and since then the bat family hides in dark towers and deserted ruins flying alone in the night the deceitful have no friends the lion the bear and the fox just as a great bear rushed to capture a stray child A lion jumped from another direction, onto the same prey, the two fought furiously for the prize until they received so many wounds that both thought they could not continue the battle, at which point a fox rushed in and grabbed the boy and ran away with him. as fast as he could.

While the lion and the bear watched and raged helplessly, how much better it would have been, they said, to have shared in a friendly spirit, those who have all the work, do not always get the benefit, the wolf and the lamb, a stray lamb was left drinking early. One morning on the bank of a forest stream that same morning a hungry wolf passed higher up in the dream looking for something to eat and soon set his eyes on the lamb has a rule mr. The wolf ate a few bitesdelicious without making any gesture, but this lamb seemed so helpless and innocent that the wolf felt he must have some kind of excuse to take its life.

How dare you paddle in my stream and stir things up? the mud shouted fiercely, you deserve a severe punishment for your recklessness, but your highness replied the trembling lamb, do not be angry, I cannot dirty the water you are drinking up there, remember that you are upstream and I am downstream, you do make it muddy, replied the wolf savagely, and furthermore I heard you told lies about me last year how could I have done it like that he begged the lamb I wasn't born until this year if it wasn't you it was your brother I don't have any brothers well then growled the wolf It was someone in your family but it doesn't matter who it was I don't have any. intention to be dissuaded from my breakfast and without further words the wolf grabbed the poor sheep and took it to the forest the tyrant can always find an excuse for his tyranny the unjust man does not listen to the reasoning of the innocent the wolf and the sheep a The wolf had been injured in a fight with a bear, he could not move and could not satisfy his hunger and thirst.

A sheep passed by his hiding place and the wolf called to him, "Please bring me a drink of water." He begged him to give me the strength to get some food. solid food solid food said the Sheep, he means me, I suppose that if I brought you drink it would only serve to wash down my throat, don't talk to me about drink, the hypocrisy of scoundrels is easily seen through the hairs and hairs of the frog like You know, they are very shy, the slightest shadow makes them run and get scared to a hiding place once they decided to die before they lived in so much misery, but while they were debating what was the best way to face death, they thought they heard a noise and in an instant they were running towards the burrow.

On the way they passed a pond where a family of frogs was sitting among the reeds on the shore. In an instant the frightened frogs were looking for safety in the mud, look, a hare cried, things are not so bad after all, here there are creatures that are even afraid of us, however, unfortunately they may think that we are, there is always someone worse than us, the Fox and the The stork, the Fox, one day thought of a plan to have fun at the expense of the stork, whose strange appearance he always laughed at. "You have to come to dinner with me today," he said to the stork, smiling to himself at the trick he was going to do.

The stork gladly accepted the idea. invitation and he arrived on time and with a very good appetite for dinner the Fox served soup but they placed it in a very shallow dish and the only thing the stork could do was wet the tip of his beak so that he could not get a drop of soup, but the fox licked it easily and, to increase the stork's disappointment, made a great show of joy. The hungry stork was very displeased by the trick, but he was a calm and even-tempered fellow and saw no good. and, enraged, shortly afterward he invited the fox to dine with him, in turn the fox arrived punctually at the appointed time and the stork served a fish dinner that had a very appetizing smell, but was served in a tall container.

The historic jar with a very narrow neck could easily collect the food with its long beak but the only thing the Fox could do was lick the outside of the jar and sniff the delicious smell which ended when the Fox lost his temper the stork calmly told him not to. you do. play tricks on your neighborsunless you can endure the same treatment the travelers and the travelers c2 were walking along the seashore in the distance they saw something riding on the waves look said one a large ship arrives from distant lands carrying rich treasures the object that They saw it getting closer and closer to the shore.

Didn't the other say that it's not a treasure ship, it's a fisherman's skiff with the day's catch of tasty fish. Even closer, the object came. The waves dragged it to the shore. It's a chest. of lost gold from some shipwreck, both travelers cried, they rushed to the beach but found nothing more than a log soaked in water. Don't let your hopes keep you from reality. The wolf and the lion. A wolf had stolen a lamb and was taking it. to his den to eat it but his plans were very changed when he encountered a lion who without making any excuse took the lamb from him, the wolf went to a safe distance and then said in a very hurt tone you have no right to take my property So the lion looked back but as the The wolf was too far away to be given a lesson without too many inconveniences.

He said that you bought your property or the Pastor gave it to you. Please tell me how you got it. Which one is the evil one? His wickedness lost the deer and its reflection was a deer drinking from a crystal spring he saw himself reflected in the clear water he greatly admired the graceful arc of his antlers but he was very ashamed of his thin legs how could it be that he sighed that I had to be cursed with such legs when I have such a magnificent Kron that at that moment he smelled a panther and in an instant he bounded away through the forest, but as he ran, his outstretched antlers caught on the branches of the trees and soon the panther caught up with him , then the deer realized that the legs of which he was so ashamed would have saved him if it had not been for the useless decorations on his head.

We often give much importance to the ornamental and despise the useful. The peacock the peacock they say that at the beginning He did not have the beautiful feathers in which he is now so proud of this Juno, whose favorite was granted him one day when he begged her to grant him a train of feathers to distinguish him from the other birds and then, dressed in his best clothes that glittered with emerald, gold, purple and azure, he strutted proudly among the all the birds looked at him with envy, even the most beautiful pheasant could see that his beauty was surpassed;

Then the peacock saw an eagle flying very high in the blue sky and felt the desire to fly as he was used to doing by raising his wings, he tried to do so. rise from the ground but the weight of his magnificent tail held him back. Instead of flying upward to greet the first rays of the morning sun or to bathe in the pink light among the floating clouds at dusk, he would have to walk on the heavier ground and oppressed than any common poultry, do not sacrifice your freedom for the sake of pomp and show the mice and the weasels the weasels and the microphones were always in arms against each other in every battle the weasels took the victory as well as a A large number of mice ate for dinner the next day.

In desperation, the mice called a council and there it was decided that the mouse army would always be defeated because it had no leaders, so a large number of generals and commanders were appointed from among the most eminent. mice to distinguish themselves from the soldiers in the ranks, the new leaders proudly tied high crests and decorations of feathers or straw on their heads and then, after a long preparation of the army of mice and all the arts of war, they sent a challenge to the weasels, the weasels accepted the challenge with enthusiasm because they were always ready for a fight when there was a meal in sight, they immediately attacked the army of mice in large numbers, soon the line of mice gave way to the attack and the entire army He fled for cover, the soldiers easily slipped into his holes. but the heads of the mice could not pass through the narrow openings because of their headdresses none escaped the teeth of the hungry weasels greatness has its sorrows the wolf and the skinny dog ​​a wolf prowling near a village the night he met a The dog turned out to be a very thin, bony dog ​​and the wolf master would have scorned such a meager meal if he had not been hungrier than usual, so he began to approach the dog while the dog retreated, let me remind your lordship, said the dog, his words interrupted now. and then as I dodged a snap of the wolf's teeth how unpleasant it would be to eat me now look at my ribs I'm nothing more than skin and bone but let me tell you something in private in a few days my master will give a wedding banquet for his only daughter you can guess how fine and fat that I will grow with the remains of the table then it is time to eat me the wolf couldn't help but think about how nice it would be to have a fat and thin dog to eat instead of the skinny object in front of him, so he went away adjusting his belt and promising to return a few days later, the wolf returned for the promised feast, found the dog in his master's yard and asked him to come out and eat it, sir, said the dog with a smile.

I'll be happy for you to eat me. I will leave as soon as the doorman opens the door, but the doorman was a huge dog whom the wolf knew from painful experience was very cruel to wolves, so he decided not to wait and made him leave as fast as his legs could carry him no depend on the promises of those who are interested is to deceive take what you can when you can get it the fox and the lion it happened a very young fox who had never seen a lion before to meet one in the forest, a single look was enough to Send Zorro at full speed towards the nearest hiding place.

The second time the Fox saw the lion, he stopped behind a tree to look at it for a moment before slinking away, but the third time. The fox bravely approached the lion and without moving a hair he greeted him there old man at the top familiarity breeds contempt the knowledge of evil blinds us to its dangers the lion and the donkey a lion and a donkey agreed to go hunting together in search of prey The hunters saw several wild goats running towards a cave and made plans to catch them. The donkey was to enter the cave and drive out the goats while the lion stood at the entrance to kill them.

The plan worked wonderfully. The donkey did such a thing. A terrifying roar in the cave kicking and braying with all their might that the goats ran out in panic only to be victims of the lion the donkey came out of the cave proud did you see how I made them run? He said that if in fact the lion responded and if he had not known you and your kind he would certainly have run towards the loudmouth the sign does not impress or frighten those who know it the dog and his master's dinner a dog had learned to bringing dinner to his master every day that day he was very faithful to his duty although the smell of the good things in the basket tempted him the neighborhood dogs noticed that he was carrying the basket and soon discovered what was in it they made several attempts to steal it but he always watched faithfully so one day all the dogs in the neighborhood got together and found him on the road with the basket.

The dog tried to run away from them but in the end he stopped to argue that that was his mistake. They soon made him feel so ridiculous that He dropped the basket and grabbed a large piece of roast meat destined for his master's dinner. Very well, he said, you divided the rest. Don't stop arguing with temptation. The vain jackdaw and his borrowed feathers. A jackdaw flew over the garden of the palace. king there saw with much amazement and envy a flock of royal peacocks in all the splendor of their splendid plumage. Now the blackjack dog was not a very beautiful bird nor very refined in manners, but he figured that all he needed to be fit for the Peacock Society was a dress like theirs, so he collected some discarded feathers from the peacocks. real birds and stuck them in his own black feathers dressed in his best borrowed finery, he strutted haughtily among the birds of his own kind and then flew towards the garden among the peacocks but soon they saw who was angry at the trap they had set for him and they snatched him away. the borrowed feathers and also some of his own, the poor rook returned sadly to his former companions, there another unpleasant surprise awaited him.

They had not forgotten his airs of superiority towards them and to punish him they chased him away with a shower of pecks and taunts. The borrowed feathers do not do well the birds the monkey and the dolphin it once happened that a Greek ship heading to hath ins was shipwrecked near the coast to Piraeus, to the port of Athens, if it had not been for the dolphins who at that time were very friendly to the humanity and especially with the Athenians, everyone would have perished, but the dolphins took the castaways on their backs and swam with them to the shore, now it was the custom among the Greeks to take their monkeys and dogs with them as pets whenever they went out traveling, so when one of the dolphins saw a monkey struggling in the water, he thought it was a man and made the monkey climb on his back and then swam away.

With him towards the shore, the monkey sat grave and dignified on the Dolphins. You are a citizen of illustrious Athens. Didn't you politely ask the dolphin yes? The monkey responded proudly. My family is one of the noblest in the city. In fact, said the dolphin then. of course you often visit Piraeus yes yes answered the monkey indeed I do I am with him constantly Piraeus is my best friend this answer took the dolphin by surprise and when he turned his head he now saw what he was carrying without further ado he dove in and left to the foolish monkey to take care of itself while he swam away in search of some human being to save him one falsehood leads to another the wolf and the donkey a donkey was eating in a pasture near a forest when he saw a wolf lurking in the shadows along the edge he easily guessed what the wolf had in mind and thought of a plan to say it himself, soHe pretended that he was lame and began to limp painfully when the wolf approached, he asked the donkey what had made him lame and the donkey replied that he had stepped on a sharp thorn, please pull it out, he begged, moaning as if it hurt, if you don't do it, you can. stick in the throat when you eat me the wolf saw the wisdom of the advice because he wanted to enjoy his food without any danger of suffocation so the donkey raised his paw and the wolf began to look very closely and carefully for the thorn at that moment the donkey He kicked with all his might, making the wolf fall a dozen paces away, and as the wolf approached very slowly and painfully at his feet, the donkey galloped away safely. "I deserve it," the wolf growled as he crawled through the bushes. "I'm a butcher by trade." I'm not a doctor stick to your own profession the monkey and the cat once upon a time a cat and a monkey lived as pets in the same house they were great friends and were constantly up to all kinds of pranks together what they seemed to think about more than anything else was get something to eat and they didn't care much how they got it someday.

We were sitting by the fire watching some chestnuts roasting in the hearth, how to get them was the question I would gladly answer, said the clever monkey, but you are much more skilled at those things than I. Take them out and I will divide them between us. He stretched out his paw very carefully. He moved some of the embers away and removed his leg very quickly then tried again this time pulling a chestnut half out of the fire for the third time and pulled the chestnut out in this performance he went through several times each time severely burning his leg as fast as he pulled the legs out. chestnuts from the fire the monkey ate them now the master came in and the scoundrels ran away the cat lady with a burnt paw and no chestnuts from that moment on they say that she herself was content with mice and rats and had little to do with Mr. monkey the flatterer seeks some benefit at his expense the dogs and the fox some dogs found the skin of a lion and in fury began to tear it with their teeth a fox saw them by chance and laughed with contempt if that lion had been alive he said it would have been A very different story would have made you feel how much sharper his claws are than your teeth.

It is easy and also despicable to kick a man who is down with the dog and the skins. Some hungry dogs saw several skins at the bottom of a stream where the tanner had been soaked. A thin skin is excellent food for a hungry dog, but the water was deep and the dogs could not reach the skins from the shore, so they held a council and decided that the best thing to do was to drink upstream. They all began to lick the water as fast as they could, but although they drank and drank until one after the other, they all burst from drinking, despite all their efforts the water of the river remained as high as always, do not try to do impossible things. the rabbit the weasel and the cat a rabbit left his house one day to have dinner of clover but he forgot to close the door of his house and While he was outside, a weasel came in and quietly made himself at home when the rabbit returned, there was the the weasel's nose peeking through the rabbit door, smelling the fresh air.

The rabbit was quite angry for being a rabbit and asked the weasel to move out, but the weasel was very happy he had calmed down forever a wise old cat heard the dispute and offered to settle it come to me said the cat I am very Deaf, put your mouths close to my ears while you tell me the facts. The unsuspecting couple did as they were told and in an instant the cat had them both under her claws. No one could deny that the dispute had been definitively resolved. The strong are capable of resolving disputes. issues for their own benefit the bear and the bees a bear wandering through the forest in The search for berries occurred in a fallen tree in which a swarm of bees had given Stuart their honey.

The bear began to sniff the log very carefully to see if the bees were home. At that moment, one of the swarm returned from the clover field with a bunch of candy guessing what the bear was after the bee flew towards him it stung him hard and then disappeared into the hollow log the bear lost his temper in an instant and jumped on the trunk with teeth and claws to destroy the nest, but this only brought out the entire swarm that the poor bear had to carry away at his heels and could only save himself by submerging himself in a puddle of water.

It is more prudent to endure a single wound in silence than to provoke a thousand angry fox and leopard. A fox and a leopard resting lazily after a generous dinner had fun arguing about their good looks. The leopard was very proud of his bright spotted fur and made disdainful comments about the Fox, whose appearance, he claimed, was quite ordinary. The Fox was proud of his fine bushy tail with its white tip, but he was smart enough to see that he was no match for the leopard and stood still. He kept up a flow of sarcastic words just to exercise his wits and have fun wrangling the leopard.

He was about to lose his temper when the Fox stood up, yawning lazily. You may have a very elegant coat, he said, but you would be much better off if you had a little more intelligence inside your head and less in your ribs, as I do. That's what I call true beauty. A thin coat is not always a good option. indication of an attractive mind the heron a heron walked calmly along the bank of a stream with his eyes fixed on the clear water and his long neck and pointed beak ready to bite into a probable morsel for his breakfast the clear water was full of fish but Master Heron was hard to please that morning no small feat for me he said such meager food is not fit for now a beautiful young perch swam nearby no in fact said the heron I wouldn't even bother to open my beak for anything So when the sun rose the fish left the shallow water near the shore and swam into the cold depths toward the center.

The heron saw no more fish and was very glad to finally be able to have breakfast on a small snail so as not to be too difficult to adapt or have to do. be content with the worst or with nothing at all he and the fox one bright afternoon as the sun sank into a glorious world a wise old man flew to a tree to rest before composing himself to rest he flapped his wings three times and sang loudly but just when He was about to put his head under his wing, his bright eyes caught a flash of red and caught a glimpse of a long, pointed nose and right under him was Master Fox, have you heard the wonderful news?

The Fox shouted with great joy. And excitedly, he asked what news he had very calmly, but he had a strange fluttering feeling inside him because, you know, he was very afraid of Zorro. Your family, mine, and all the other animals have agreed to forget their differences and live in peace and friendship. Now from now on, just think about it, I just can't wait to hug you, come down, dear friend, and let's celebrate the happy event. "How great," he said, "I'm certainly delighted with the news, but he spoke absently and seemed to be standing on tiptoe, looking at something far away.

What do you see?" he asked. fox a little anxious because it seems to me that there are a couple of dogs that are coming here, they should have heard the good news and but the fox did not wait to find out more, he started to run, wait, he cried, why are you running, the dogs are your friends, now yes, the fox answered, but so on. Maybe they didn't hear the news, plus I have a very important message that I had almost forgotten. He smiled as he buried his head in his feathers and fell asleep because he had managed to outwit a very cunning enemy.

The trickster is easily deceived. The dog in the manger. sleeping dog in the manger full of hay was awakened by the cattle that arrived tired and hungry from working in the field but the dog did not let them approach the manger and growled and bit as if it were full of the best meat and bones for him alone. cattle looked at the dog with disgust how selfish he is in such a way that he can't eat the hay and yet he won't let us eat it who are so hungry. Now the farmer came in, when he saw how the dog behaved, he grabbed a stick and kicked him out of the stable with many blows because of his selfish behavior, don't do it. observe others what you cannot enjoy yourself the wolf and the goat a hungry wolf spider a goat walking on the top of a steep cliff where I couldn't reach it that is a very dangerous place for you he shouted pretending to be very anxious about it the safety of the goat and if you fell please listen to me and come down here you can get everything you ask for the finest and most tender grass in the country the goat looked over the edge of the cliff how very, very anxious you are for me he said and how You are generous with your grass but I know you it is your own appetite you are thinking of not mine an invitation motivated by selfishness you should not accept the s and the grasshoppers one day while a donkey was walking through the pasture he found some grasshoppers chirping happily in a grassy corner of the field he listened with great admiration to the song of the grasshoppers, it was such a joyful song that his pleasure-loving heart was filled with the desire to sing while they did it, what is it? he asked very respectfully, that has made you given such beautiful voices.

Is there any special food that you eat or is it some divine nectar that makes you sing so beautifully? Yes, he said grasshoppers really liked a joke. It is the GU that we drink dry and see it later. the donkey would not eat or drink anything, but naturally the poor stupid donkey died soon the laws of nature are immutable the mule Emil had rested a lot and had eaten very well he felt very vigorous and was prancing legitimately keeping his head up my father certainly he was a thoroughbred runner he said I can clearly feel that the next day they put him back in the harness and that night he was very discouraged in fact I was wrong he said my father was an idiot after all make sure of your pedigree before you boast about it the fox and the goat a fox fell into a well and although it was not very deep he discovered that he could not get out again after having been in the well for a long time a thirsty goat arrived next to the thought of gold the fox had gone down to drink and then asked if the water was good, the best in the whole country, said the cunning fox, jump up and try it, there is more than enough for both of us, the thirsty goat, he immediately jumped up and began to drink, the fox just as quickly jumped on the back of the goat and jumped from the tip of the horns out of the well.

The fool Grove now saw what he had gotten himself into and begged the Fox to help him, but the Fox was already on his way towards the forest, if you had as much sense as you have a beard, old man, he said as he ran, you would have been more cautious. When it comes to finding a way out again before you leap, look before you leap, the cat, the and the young man. mouse a very young mouse who had never seen anything in the world almost got ruined the first time he ventured out and this is the story he told his mother about his adventures I was walking very calmly when just around the corner towards the next patio I saw two strange creatures, one of them had a very kind and elegant look, but the other was the most fearsome monster you can imagine.

You should have seen it on the top of his head and in front of his neck hung chunks of raw red. meat, he walked restlessly breaking the ground with his toes and savagely hitting his arm against his side, the moment he saw me he opened his pointed mouth as if to swallow me and then he let out a piercing roar that almost scared me. Death, can you guess who it was that our young mouse was trying to describe to his mother? It was no one else but the corral and the first one the little mouse had seen.

If it hadn't been for that terrible monster that the mouse followed, he should have done it. I met the cute creature who looks so good and gentle, he has thick velvety fur, a gentle face and looked very modest, although his eyes were bright and sparkling as he looked at me, he waved his long thin tail and smiled. Surely he was about to speak to me when the monster I told you about that hour screamed and I ran for my life, my son said, the mother mouse, that gentle creature you saw was none other than the cat under its kind appearance.

He holds a grudge against each of us, the other was nothing more than a bird that wouldn't hurt you in the slightest since the cat eats us, so be thankful, my girl, that you escaped alive and while you live, never judge people by their appearance. does not trust only appearances the wolf and the shepherd a wolf had been hanging around a flock of sheep for a long time and the shepherd was watching very anxiously to prevent it from taking a lamb but the wolf did not try to do any harm instead That's why he seemed to be helping the Shepherd take care of the Sheep.

Finally, the Shepherd got so used to seeing the wolf that he forgot how evil he could be. One day he even left his flock where the wolf got scared while he was running an errand. but when he returned and saw how many members of the flock had been killed and taken away, he knew how foolish it was to trust his wolf once a wolf always a wolf the peacock and the crane a peacock swollen with vanity doctor it rains one day and to impress him He spread his beautiful tail to the sun, look, he said, what do you have to compare with this?

I'mdressed in all the glory of the rainbow while your feathers are gray as dust the crane spread its wide wings that flew towards the sun follow me if you can he said but the peacock stayed where he was among the birds of the pen while the crane rose and freedom high up in the blue sky the useful is of much more importance and value than the ornamental the farmer and the cranes some cranes saw a farmer plowing a large field when he finished the work of plowing they watched him patiently sow the seed it was their holiday They thought that as soon as the farmer finished sowing and had gone home they flew.

They went to the field and began to eat as fast as they could. The farmer, of course, knew the cranes and their habits. He had had experience with such birds before returning soon to the field with a slingshot, but he did not bring back any stones that he expected. to scare the cranes by simply swinging the sling in the air and shouting loudly at them at first the cranes flew away in Great Terror but soon they began to see that none of them were hurt they did not even hear the noise of the stones whizzing through the air and as they moved forward They would not kill anyone.

In the end they did not listen to the farmer. The farmer saw that he would have to take other measures. He wanted to save at least part of his grain, so he loaded his slingshot with stones and killed several of the cranes. This had the effect that the farmer he wanted because from that day on the cranes visited his field no more bluff and threatening words have little value with Rascals bluff is not proof that the farmer and his children lack hard fists a rich old farmer who felt that he did not care There were many more days left to live.

He called his children to his bedside. My children said that he had what I have to tell you. Under no circumstances should he part with the property that has belonged to our family for so many generations. Somewhere in it is hiding a rich man. treasure. I don't know the exact place, but it is there and you will surely find it. Spare no energy and leave no place unexplored in your search. The father died and he was barely at his grave when the sun set. They went to work digging with all their might, removing every inch of earth with their shovels and going through the entire farm two or three times.

They did not find any hidden gold until harvest time, when they had settled their accounts and pocketed a rich profit. elderly. that any of their neighbors understood that the treasure that their father had told them about was the width of an abundant harvest and that in their industry if they had discovered that the treasure industry is in itself a treasure the two vessels two vessels one of brass and the other one of One day the clay was next to the hearth stone, the bronze pot proposed to the clay pot that they go out into the world together, but the clay pot excused itself saying that it would be more prudent for it to stay in a corner by the fire, so it would be necessary. little to break me he said, you know how fragile I am, the slightest shock will surely break me, don't let that keep you at home, he urged the brass pot, I will take good care of you if we run into something difficult. will stand in the way and save you, so the clay pot finally agreed and the two of them stood side by side, lurching on three stubby legs, first to one side, then that way and bumping with each step, the clay pot I couldn't survive that class. of companionship for a long time they had not taken ten steps when the clay pot broke and with the next blow it flew into a thousand equal pieces make the best friends the chicken and the golden egg once upon a time there was a compatriot who owned the most wonderful chicken that you can imagine.

Imagine that every day when he visited the nest the goose had laid a beautiful, shiny golden egg, the farmer took the eggs to the market and soon began to get rich, but it wasn't long before he became impatient with the goose because she only gave him one golden egg a day wasn't getting rich fast enough so, one day after he had finished counting his money, he got the idea that he could get all the golden eggs at once by killing the goose and cutting it up, But when the writing was done he did not find a single golden egg and his precious hen was dead.

Those who have a lot want more and that is why they lose everything they have. The brave bulls and the frog, two bulls fought furiously in a field on one side. of which there was a swamp an old man The frog that lived in the swamp trembled as he watched the fierce battle What are you afraid of? asked a young frog, don't you see? The old frog responded that the bull that is hit will be driven away from the good forage up there into the reeds of this Swamp and we will all be shivering in the mud.

It turned out that the frog had said that the beaten bull was led to the swamp where its great hooves crushed the frogs to death when the great fall the weak must suffer for it the farmer and the snake a farmer walked through his field one cold winter morning On the ground lay a stiff snake frozen by the cold. The farmer knew how deadly the snake could be and yet he picked it up and put it on his chest to warm it and bring it back to life. The snake soon revived and when it had enough strength it bit the man who had been so kind to it, the bite was fatal and the farmer felt that he must die as he breathed his last, he said to those around, learn from my fate, do not have pity of a scoundrel, the six deer, one deer had fallen ill, he only had the strength to gather some food and find a quiet clearing in the forest. where he lay down to wait until he regained his strength, the animals found out about the illness from the batteries and came to ask about his health, of course, everyone was hungry and freely helped themselves to the food from the batteries and, as expected , the deer soon died of hunger. good will is worth nothing if it is not accompanied by good actions the mouse and the weasel a small hungry mass got into a basket of corn one day and had to make a lot of effort to get through the narrow opening between the strips of the basket but the corn It was tempting and the mouse was determined to get in.

When he finally succeeded, he gorged himself until he burst, in fact he became about three times bigger in half than when he finally got in, he felt satisfied and crawled away. to the opening to get out again but the best he could do was stick his head out so there he sat moaning and groaning both from the discomfort inside him and from his anxiety to escape from the basket just then a weasel passed by and he understood the situation. Quickly my friend said I know what you've been doing you've been stuffing that's what you get you'll have to stay here until you feel like when you came in good night and good enough for you and that was all the sympathy the poor greedy mouse got. leads to misfortune the spendthrift and the swallow a young man who is very popular among his good fellows as a good spender quickly squandered his fortune trying to live up to his reputation and one fine day in early spring he found himself without a cent and no property except the clothes he wore.

He was going to meet some cheerful young people that morning and was desperate for how to get enough money to keep up appearances. Judge Levi chirped happily and the young man thought of summer. had kept he hurried to a nearby merchant to whom he sold all the clothes he was wearing down to his tunic, a few days later a change in weather brought a severe frost and the poor swallow and that young fool with his light tunic with his arms and legs bare knees could barely sustain life and there the bodies trembled a swallow does not make a center the cat and the birds a cat was losing a lot of weight as you may have guessed he did not eat enough one day he heard that some birds in the neighborhood were sick.

He needed a doctor, so he put on a pair of glasses and with a leather box in his hand he knocked on the door of the bird house, the birds looked out and the dr. cat with great concern asked how they were doing I would be very happy to give them some medicine tweet-tweet laughter the birds are very smart aren't you we are very well thank you me too if you just stay away from me to be wise and avoid the crack the dog and the oyster had Once a dog who really liked eggs visited the main house very often and got lost.

He became so greedy that he swallowed the eggs whole. One day the dog went to the seashore, there he saw an oyster in the blink of an eye. When you close your eyes, the oyster was resting in the shell of the dog's stomach and when it came out it hurt the dog a lot. As you can imagine, I have learned that all things are not eggs, he said, moaning, act hastily and repent calmly. and often with pain the astrologer a man who lived a long time ago believed that he could find the future in the stars he called himself an astrologer and he spent his time at night looking at the sky one afternoon he was walking along the open road outside the village his eyes were fixed in the stars he thought he saw there that the end of the world was near when suddenly he fell into a hole full of mud and water there he sat up to his ears in the muddy water and madly stuck on the slippery sides of the hole in his effort to climb before His cries for help soon had the villagers running as they pulled him out of the mud.

One of them said that you pretend to read the future in the stars and yet you couldn't see what is at your feet. This can teach you to pay more attention to what is. in front of you and let the future take care of itself what do you use it for said another to read the stars when you can't see what is here on earth take care of the small things and the big things will take care of themselves three oxen and a lion a lion He had been watching three oxen grazing in an open field He had tried to attack them several times but they had stayed together and helped each other to drive him.

The lion had little hope of eating them because he was no match for three strong oxen with their horns and sharp hooves, but He couldn't stay away from that field because it's hard to resist seeing good food even when there's little chance of eating it. Upon achieving this, one day the oxen quarreled and when the hungry lion came to look at them and lick their tents as he used to do, he found them in separate corners of the field, as far from each other as they could. Now it was easy for the lion to attack them one at a time and he proceeded to do so with the greatest satisfaction and delight in the unity is force Mercury and the woodcutter a poor woodcutter was cutting down a tree near the edge of a deep pond In the forest it was already late and the woodcutter was tired, he had been working since dawn, and his blows were not as sure as they had been early that morning, so it happened that the ax slipped and slipped from his hands into the pond.

The Woodman was desperate, the ax was all he owned with the desire to make a living and he did not have enough money to buy a new one as he wrung his hands and cried, the god Mercury suddenly appeared and asked what the problem was. The Woodcutter told him. what had happened and immediately the kind mercury dove into the pond when he came back up he held a wonderful golden ax is this your ax mercury asked the woodcutter did not answer the honest woman that is not my ax mercury put the golden ax On the shore and jumped into the pond again, this time he pulled out a silver axe, but the woodcutter again declared that his ax was just an ordinary one, it was a wooden handle.

Mercury went under for the third time and when he came back up he had the same axe. that had been lost, poor Woodman was very glad that they had found his axe and he could not thank God. Mercurio was very pleased with the Woodman's honesty. I admire your honesty, he said, and our prize, you can keep the three exes, the gold and both the silver and yours, the happy Woodman returned home with his treasures and soon everyone in the town knew the story of his good fortune. There were now several Woodmen in town who believed they could easily earn the same good fortune as them.

They rushed to the forest one year there and hid their axes in the bushes they pretended they had lost them, then they cried and lamented and asked Mercury for help and, in fact, Mercury appeared first to this one and then to that one, to each one. He showed a golden ax and each one enthusiastically claimed that it was the one they had lost, but Mercury did not give them the golden ax. Oh no, instead he gave them each a hard whack on the head with it and sent them home and when they came back the next day to look for their own axes they were nowhere to be found.

Honesty is the best policy. frog in the mouse a young mouse in search of adventure was running along the shore of a pond where a frog lived when the frog saw the mouse he swam to the shore and squawked, won't you pay me a visit? I promise you will have a good time if you do it. The mouse didn't need much persuasion because he was very eager to see the world and everything in it, but he knew how to swim. a little did not dare to risk entering the pond without help the frog had a plan he tied the mouse's paw to his with a hard read then jumped into the pond dragging his silly companion with him the mouse soon got tired and wanted return to the shore but the treacherous frog had other plans, he pulled the mouse under the water and drowned him, but before he could untie the reed that tied him to the mousedead, a hawk came flying over the pond and saw the body of the mouse floating in the water.

The hawk descended, grabbed the mouse and carried it away with the frog hanging from its leg, thus in one fell swoop it had caught meat and fish for its own. dinner. Those who seek to harm others often end up harming themselves through their own deception the fox and the crab a crab one day became disgusted with the sands in which he lived and decided to take a walk to the meadow not far inland, there he would find something better than salt water and sand mites, so he crawled to the meadow but there a hungry fox bit him and in his wink ate him with his shell and claws happy with your luck the snake and the eagle a snake had managed to surprise an eagle and had coiled itself around the eagle's neck the eagle could not reach the snake without beak or claws far into the sky it rose trying to shake off its enemy but the Serpent's grip only loosened. squeezed and slowly the Eagle sank back to the earth gasping for breath a compatriot opportunity to see the unequal combat in pity for the noble Eagle rushed upward and soon released the coiled serpent and released the evil the serpent was furious, he had no opportunity to bite the vigilant compatriot, instead he hit the drinking horn hanging from the compatriot's belt and on it we flew the poison from his fangs.

The countrymen now continued towards home being thirsty on the way he filled his horn at a spring and was about to drink, there was a sudden movement of great wings that descended, the eagle sees the spent poison from the hands of his savior and flew away with the. hide it where it could never be found an act of kindness is well rewarded the wolf in sheep's clothing a certain wolf could not eat enough due to the Shepherd's vigilance but one night he found a sheepskin that had been abandoned and forgotten the next day dressed With the swamp the wolf went to the pasture with the sheep soon a little lamb followed him and was quickly taken to the slaughterhouse that night the wolf entered the fold with the flock but it happened that the shepherd took a That same night they brought a lamb and took a knife and went to the sheepfold.

There the first one he caught and killed was the wolf. The wrongdoer is often hurt by his own deception. The bull and the goat. A bull once escaped from a lion. entering a cave where herds of goats sheltered their flocks in stormy weather and at night it happened that one of the goats had been left behind and the bull had barely entered then it lowered its head and pounced on him. hitting him with his horns since the lion was probably still outside the cave entrance the bull had to submit to the insult don't think he said I submit to your cowardly treatment because I am afraid of you when that lion leaves I will show you a lesson you will not forget it is evil to take advantage of another's distress the eagle and the beetle a beetle once begged the eagle to spare a hair that had run to it for protection, but the eagle pounced on its prey the sweep from its large wings they made the beetle fall a dozen feet away, furious at the lack of respect shown to it, the beetle flew towards the eagle's nest and took out the eggs, not a single one spared the Eagles the pain and anger and you know, the bones, but who had committed the cruel act that she did not know that the following year the Eagle built its nest on top of a mountain in Craig, but the beetle found it and again destroyed the eggs with despair.

The Eagle now implored the great Jupiter to allow him to place her eggs in his lap, there no one would dare harm them, except the beetle buzzed over Jupiter's head and made him rise to chase her away and the eggs rolled off his lap now the beetle counted the reason for his action and Jupiter had to recognize the justice of his cause and they say that forever while the eagle's eggs lie in the nest in spring the beetle still sleeps on the ground because Jupiter ordered it so, even the weakest can have good means to avenge a wrong the old lion and the fox an old lion whose teeth and claws were so worn that it was not so easy for him to get food since in his youth he pretended that he was sick took it upon himself to notify all his neighbors and Then he lay down in his cave to wait for the visitors and when they came to offer his condolences he ate them one by one.

In one, the Fox came to, but he was very cautious in staying a safe distance from the cave. He politely asked about the Lion's health, the lion replied that he was very sick and asked the Fox to intervene for a moment, but Master Fox. Very wisely I stayed outside thanking the lion very kindly for the invitation. I would be happy to do what you asked, he added, but I have noticed that there are many footprints leading to your cave and none of them come out bright. Tell me, how do your visitors find their way? go out again warn of each other's misfortunes man and lion a lion and a man opportunity to travel in company through the forest soon began to fight because each of them boasted that he and his kind were very superior to the other both in strength and mind now they arrived at a clearing in the forest and there was a statue it was the representation of Hercules in the act of tearing the jaws of the Nemean lion see said the man that's how strong we are the king of The beasts are like wax in the hole in our hands.

The lion laughed. A man made that statue. It would have been a very different scene if a lion had made it. It all depends on the point of view and who is telling the story. The Donkey and the Lapdog. There was once a donkey whose master also had a lap dog, this dog was one of his favorites and he received many pats and kind words from his master, as well as choice pieces from his plate every day, the dog would run to meet the master First, he played and jumped to lick his hands. And before all this the donkey saw with great discontent, although he was well fed, he had a lot of work to do, and the master almost never paid attention to him.

Now the jealous donkey got it into his stupid head that all he had to do to earn the favor of his master was to act like the dog, so one day he came out of his stable and came noisily into the house, finding his master sitting at the table, lifted his heels and, with a loud Bray, jumped vertiginously around the table, overturning it as he He did it, then he planted his four feet on the master, knelt down and stuck out his tongue to lick the master's face as he had seen the dog do, but when he climbed up he put the chair, a donkey and a man rolled together on the pile of broken plates.

The strange behavior of the donkey and the cries for help soon attracted the attention of the servants when they saw the danger the master was in from the clumsy beasts that were placed on top of the donkey and led him to kicked and punched back to the stable, they left him there. cry for the foolishness that had brought him nothing but a good beating behavior that is considered pleasant in one is very rude and impertinent in another do not try to gain favor by acting in a manner contrary to your own nature and character the milkmaid and her pale a milkmaid She had gone out to milk the cows and was returning from the field with the bucket of milk shiny and well balanced on her head as she walked her pretty head was busy with plans for the days to come this good, rich milk she reflected will give me plenty of cream to churn the butter I I will take her to the market and with the money I get I will buy many eggs to hatch.

How beautiful it will be when they are all hatched. The yard is full of beautiful young chicks. When May Day comes, I will sell them and with the money I will buy a beautiful new dress for her. Wear at the fair all the young people will look at me, they will come and try to make love to me, but I will do it. very quickly sent them off to go about their business while he thought about how he would resolve this matter, he shook his head in disdain and the bucket of milk fell to the floor and all the mouths flowed and with it the butter, the eggs, the chicks and the new dress disappeared. . and all the pride of the milkmaids do not count their chickens before they are born the wolf and the shepherd a wolf lurking near the shepherd's hut saw the shepherd and his family feasting on a roast lamb aha, he murmured what a great cry and run there it would have been If they had caught me precisely in what they are doing with such pleasure men often condemn others for what they see nothing wrong in making themselves the hurt goat and the goat a goat straight from the herd tempted by a piece of clover The herd of goats tried to call him but in vain he did not obey him so he took a stone and threw it breaking the goats horn the herd of goats was scared don't tell the master he begged the goat no the goat said that broken horn can speak for itself evil deeds will not remain hidden the miser a miser had buried his gold in a secret place in his garden every day he went to the place he dug up the treasure and counted it piece by piece to make sure it was all What he had made so many trips that a thief who had been watching him guessed what the miser had hidden and one night he quietly dug up the treasure and left with it.

When the miser discovered his loss, he was overcome with grief and sadness. despair, he moaned and cried. and he tore his hair a passerby heard his screams and asked what had happened my gold oh my goal crowd the miser wildly someone has stolen from me you are gold they are in that hole why did you put it there why didn't you keep it in the house where you could get it easily when you had to buy things on the screen the angry miser why I never touched the gold I couldn't think of spending anything the stranger took a big stone and threw it into the hole if that's the case he said cover that stone is worth as much to you as the treasure That you lost a possession is not worth more than the use we give it to the wolf and the dog of the house.

There was once a wolf who got very little to eat because the dogs of the town were so awake and vigilant that in reality it was nothing more than skin. and bones and he was very discouraged to think about it one night when this wolf came across a fat, beautiful domestic dog that had wandered a little too far from home, the wolf would have gladly eaten him right then and there, but the The house dog seems strong enough to leave his mark if he tried, so the wolf spoke very humbly to the dog and complimented him on his excellent appearance.

You can also be well fed. What am I like? If you want to answer, the dog leaves the forest there. You live miserably. Why do you have to fight hard for every bite you receive? Follow my example and you will get along very well. What should I do? I ask the wolf almost nothing and at the house, the dogs chase those they carry. sticks bark at beggars and flatter the people of the house in exchange you will receive treats of all kinds chicken bones select pieces of meat sugar cake and much more plus not to mention kind words and caresses that the wolf had a beautiful vision of his happiness to come he almost cried but at that moment he realized that the hair on the dog's neck was worn and the skin was irritated what is that on your neck nothing at all he replied nothing oh just a little but please tell me maybe you will see the mark of the collar to which my chain is attached what chain cried the wolf do not go where you want not always but what is the difference answered the dog all the difference in the world I do not care rap for your banquets and I would not take all the tender little lambs of the world at that price and a path around the wolf to the forest there is nothing worth as much as Liberty the Fox and the Hedgehog a fox swimming across a river was He could barely reach the shore where he lay bruised and exhausted from his fight with a swift current, soon a swarm of blood-sucking flies settled upon him, but he lay silently still too weak to flee from them.

A hedgehog passed by, let me drive, he flies away, he said kindly, no, no, exclaimed the Fox, don't bother them, they've taken all they can handle. If you chase them away, another greedy swarm will come and take the little blood I have left. It's better to endure a lesser evil. than to risk a greater evil by removing it, the bat and the weasels at the bat got into the nest of a weasel who ran to catch it and eat it the bat begged for its life but the weasel did not listen you are a mouse he said and I am an enemy mouse jury every mouse I catch oh I'm going to eat um but or no mouse rides the bat look look at my wings see my fly oh I'm just a bird please let me go the weasel had to admit that the bat wasn't a mouse like that He let it go, but a few days later, the silly bat blindly entered another weasel's nest.

This weasel turned out to be a bitter enemy of birds and soon had the bat under its claws ready to eat it, you are a bird, he said. and I'm going to eat you what the bat shouted Oh a bird why do all birds have feathers I'm nothing more than a mouse and down with all the cats is my motto and so the bat escaped alive for the second time Put your candles with the wind the healer toad an old toad once informed all his neighbors that he was a learned doctor, in fact, he could cure anything.

The Fox heard the news and rushed to see the toad. He examined it very carefully.Toad, he said, I have been told that you can cure anything, but look at yourself and then try your own medicine, if you can cure yourself of that blotchy skin and that rheumatic gait, someone might believe you, otherwise I should advise you to do so. you do. try some other profession those who had mended others should first mend themselves the tailless fox a fox that had been caught in a trap finally managed to escape after many painful tugs but had to leave its beautiful bushy tail behind it for a while For a long time he stayed away from the other foxes because he knew very well that they would all make fun of him, make jokes and laugh behind his back, but he found it difficult to live alone and he finally thought of a plan that might help him get out.

Of his problem he called a meeting of all the foxes saying that he had something of great importance to tell the tribe when they were all gathered the Tailless Fox stood up and gave a long speech about those foxes that had come because of their tails this He had been caught by dogs when his tail had gotten tangled in the hedge that one had not been able to run fast enough due to the weight of his brush. Furthermore, it was well known that men hunt foxes simply for their tails, which they cut off as a reward for hunting. hunt with such proof of the danger and uselessness of having a tail, said Master Fox, who would advise every Fox to cut it off if he valued life and safety.

When he had finished speaking, an old Fox stood up and said, smiling, Master Fox, please give yourself a date. Turn around for a moment and you will have your answer when poor Tailless Fox turned around and such a storm of jeers and jeers arose that he saw how useless it was to continue trying to persuade. the Foxes parting with their tails do not listen to the advice of him who seeks to bring them down to his own level the naughty dog ​​once upon a time there was a dog who was so moody and naughty but his master had to fasten a heavy wooden clog around his neck to stop him. to avoid disturbing visitors and neighbors, but the dog seemed to be very proud of the clog and was dragging it noisily as if he wanted to attract everyone's attention.

He couldn't impress anyone. It would be wiser, said an old acquaintance, to stay quietly out of sight with that clog. Do you want everyone to know that you are a shameful and evil dog? Fame is not Fame the rose and the butterfly a butterfly once fell in love with a beautiful rose the rose was not indifferent to her The butterfly's wings were sprinkled with a charming pattern of gold and silver, so when he fluttered near and he told her how much he loved her, she turned Rosalie's face red and said yes, after much lovemaking and many whispered vows of constancy, the butterfly tenderly said goodbye to him. honey, but alas, it was a long time before he returned, is this your constancy? she exclaimed through tears, years have passed since he left and the whole time you have been with all kinds of flowers.

I saw you kiss Miss Geranium and you fluttered. miss mignonette until a bee chased you away I wish my perseverance had stung you laughed the butterfly I had barely left you the best souls ever kissing you you were scandalously weird with mr. bubble bee and you made eyes at every insect you could see, you can't expect constancy from me, don't expect constancy from others, if you have met, the cat and the fox, once a captain of Fox, traveled together as they moved forward . Picking up supplies along the way, a stray mouse here, a fat chick there, they started a discussion to pass the time between bites, and as usually happens when comrades argue, the conversation started to get personal.

You think you're extremely intelligent, right? said the Fox, you pretend to know more than me, why do I know a bag full of tricks, well, replied the cat, I admit it, I only know one trick, but let me tell you, that one is worth more than a thousand of your people. At that moment, a hunter's horn found out nearby and the howls of a pack of dogs in an instant the cat was at the top of a tree hiding among the leaves this is my trick he called to the Fox now let me see how much yours are worth but the Fox had so many plans to escape I couldn't decide which one try first he dodged here and there with the dogs on his heels he doubled back on his steps he ran at full speed he entered a dozen burrows but it was all in vain the dogs caught him and soon put an end to the braggart and all his tricks common sense always The child and the nettle are worth more than cunning.

A child stung by a nettle ran home crying so that his mother could blow on the wound and kiss it, son, said the child's mother when she had consoled him. "Next time you go near a nettle." , grip it firmly and it will be as soft as silk. Whatever you do with all your might. The old lion A lion had grown old. His teeth were worn down. His limbs could no longer bear it. And the king. of the beasts was really very pitiful as he lay panting on the ground about to die where now his strength in its ancient and graceful beauty now a bore spied him and running towards him gored him with his yellow fangs a bull trampled him with his heavy helmets even a despicable donkey let his heels fly and braided his insults in the lion's face it is cowardly to attack the defenseless even if he is an enemy the fox and the pheasants on a moonlit afternoon like the lord.

Fox was taking his usual walk through the woods, he saw several pheasants perched just out of reach of him on the branch of a tall old tree, the Sly Fox ooh, and found a bright patch of moonlight where the pheasants could see him clearly. There he stood up. He stood up on his hind legs and began a wild dance. First he spun around and around like a top, then he jumped from one side to the other doing all kinds of strange capers. The pheasant looked dizzy. They hardly dared to blink for fear of losing sight of him.

In a single instant, the Fox pretended to climb a tree, now he fell and lay still, playing dead, and the next instant he was jumping on all fours and was in the air again, and his thick tail was trembling so much. way that seemed to throw silver sparks. In the moonlight, at that moment the poor birds' heads were spinning and when the Fox began his performance again, so many days passed that they lost control of the limb and fell one by one towards the Fox, too much attention for Danger can make us fall victim to it.

The travelers and a couple of men were traveling together through a forest when suddenly a huge bear emerged from the undergrowth near them. One of the men, thinking of his own safety, climbed a tree. another, unable to fight the savage beast alone, threw himself on the ground and lay still as if he were dead. He had heard that a bear doesn't touch a dead body. It must have been true because the bears sniffed the man's head for a while and then seemed satisfied that he was dead he walked away the man in the tree came down it seemed as if that bear was whispering in your ear he said what did he say he said the other replied no It was not at all prudent to keep company with a companion who would abandon his friend in a moment of danger, misfortune is the test of true friendship, the porcupine and the snakes.

The porcupine was looking for a good home, he finally found a small protected cave where a family of snakes lived. He asked them to allow him to share the cave with them and the snakes kindly agreed. The snakes soon wished they had not given him permission to stay with him. Sharp spikes pricked them with every step and finally they politely asked him to leave. I am very satisfied, thank you, said the porcupine. I intend to stay here and with that he politely escorted the snakes out and to save the skins from him. He had to look for another home, he gave the finger and Louise the hand, the fox and the monkey at a great meeting of the animals that had gathered to elect a new ruler, they asked that monkey to dance, this he did so well with a thousand fun antics. and Zorro did not vote for the monkey and was very displeased with the animals for having chosen such an unworthy ruler.

One day he found a tract with some money. of meat, running towards the Monkey King, told him that he had found a rich treasure that he had not touched because it belonged by right to the Majesty of him the Monkey, the greedy monkey followed the Fox into the trap as soon as he saw the meat that he grabbed. Anxiously only to find himself caught in the trap, the Fox stopped and laughed, you pretend to be our King, he said and you can't even take care of yourself shortly after another election was held among the animals, the true leader demonstrates his worth for their qualities the mother and the wolf one early morning, a hungry wolf was prowling around a cabin on the outskirts of a town when he heard a child crying in the house and then heard the mother's voice saying quiet, child, Silence, stop your crime or I will give you to the wolf, surprised but delighted at the prospect of such a delicious meal, the wolf sat under an open window waiting every moment for the child to be handed over to him, but although the little boy continued to restless, the The wolf waited all day and then towards nightfall he heard the mother's voice again as she sat near the window singing and rocking her baby to sleep.

There that wolf won't catch you, no, no daddy is watching and daddy will kill him if he comes close at that moment. He came within sight of the house and the wolf could barely save himself from the dogs with a skillful run. Don't believe everything here, the flies and the honey, a jar of honey overturned and the sticky sweetness spilled on the table, the sweet smell of honey. soon brought a large number of flies fluttering around, they did not wait for an invitation, no, in fact they sat on their feet and all to gorge themselves, the flies were quickly smeared with honey from head to toe, their stuck wings, they could not get their feet out of the sticky mess and that is why They died giving their lives for the taste of sweetness Don't be greedy for a small passing pleasure The eagle and the kite can destroy you An eagle perched high in the branches of a great oak She seemed very sad and fell for an eagle A kite The He saw why you look so worried, weapon, he asked the kite, I want to get married, the eagle responded, but I can't find a partner who can support me as I would like.

Take me to the kite. I am very strong, even stronger than you. Do you really think you can sustain us through the enthusiastic eagle, who of course responded to the kite? That would be a very simple question. I am so strong that I can carry an ostrich in my talons as if it were a feather. The eagle accepted the kite immediately, but after the wedding, when the kite flew away to look for something to eat for his bride, the only thing he had when he returned was a little mouse. The ostrich that you spoke about passed by, the eagle, and argued to win you.

He would have said and promised anything. The kite responded, everything is fair in love. a measure of wheat the sheep knew him for a very fast runner who could easily get out of his reach where he leaned so she asked him if he knew anyone who would vouch for him yes yes the deer answered with certainty the wolf has promised to be mature the "Wolf," the sheep exclaimed indignantly, "do it. Do you think I would trust you with such assurance?" I know the wolf who takes what he wants and runs away without paying, since you can use your legs so well that he would have little chance of collecting the debt if he had to catch him. you that's why two blacks don't keep you waiting for the animals and the plague Once upon a time there was a severe plague that hit the animals many died and those who survived were so sick that they didn't care about food or drink and they crawled around indifferently jumping no It could no longer affect the young man to tempt Master Fox to dinner, nor did a tender lamb whet the appetite of the greedy wolf lord.

Finally, the lion decided to call a council. When all the animals were gathered, he stood up and said, dear friends, I believe that the gods have sent this plague upon us as punishment for our sins therefore the most guilty among us must be offered as a sacrifice perhaps then we can obtain forgiveness and healing for all. First I will confess all my sins. I admit that I have been very greedy and have devoured many sheep. It has not done me any harm, I have eaten goats and bulls and deer, to tell the truth, I even ate a shepherd from time to time.

Now, if I am the most guilty, I am willing to be sacrificed, but I think it is best for each person to confess their sins as they should. I have done then we can decide with all justice who is the most guilty Your Majesty said the Fox you are too good it can be a crime to eat sheep those stupid lamb heads no no Your Majesty has done them a great honor by eating them above and in what to Shepherds we all know that they belong to that insignificant race that pretends to be our masters all the animals sadly applauded the Fox then although the tiger the bear the wolf and all the wild beasts recited the most perverse deeds they were all excused and made to look very safe As an innocent man it was now the donkeys turn to confess.

I remember that he said guilty that one day when passing by a field of some priests I felt so tempted by the tender grass and my hunger that I could not resist nibbling a little I had no right to do so I admit it a great commotion among the beasts interrupted him here was the culprit who had brought misfortune to everyone, what a horrible crime.was eating grass that belonged to someone else because it was enough to hang anyone for much more and he asked immediately everyone fell on him, the wolf in the lead and soon finished him off by sacrificing him to the gods at that very moment and without the formality from an altar, the weak are made to suffer. for the misdeeds of the powerful, the Shepherd and the lion, a shepherd was counting his sheep one day and discovered that several of them were missing.

Very irritated, he declared in a very loud voice and boastfully that he would catch the thief and punish him as he deserved. The shepherds suspected a wolf of the feat and so he set out towards a rocky region among the hills where there were caves and tested by wolves but before leaving he made a vow to Jupiter that if he helped him find the thief he would offer him a fat cough as a gift. sacrifice the Shepherd searched for a long time without finding wolves but just as he passed near a large cave on the side of the mountain and huge lions stopped carrying a sheep in Great Terror the Shepherd fell on his knees woe to Jupiter man does not know what Me They asked me to find the thief.

I offer to sacrifice a fat calf. Now I promise you a full-grown bull if you make the thief go away. We are often not as eager for what we seek after we have found it. We don't ask for things foolishly. that would bring ruin if they were awarded the dog and his reflection a dog to which the butcher had thrown a bone was rushing home with his prize as fast as he could while crossing a narrow pedestrian bridge he looked down and saw his reflection in the calm water as in a mirror, but the greedy dog ​​thought he saw a real dog carrying a bone much bigger than his own.

If he had stopped to think, he would have known better, but instead of thinking, he dropped the bone and jumped towards it. the dog in the river only to find himself swimming for his life and reaching the shore, he finally managed to get out, but while he was sad thinking about the good bone he had lost, he realized how stupid the dog had been, it is very fool be greedy hare in the tortoise 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, the tortoise answered and he arrived sooner than you think, I will make you run a race and prove it to the hare.

He was very amused by the idea of ​​running a race with the tortoise, he preferred the fun of what he accepted, so he The Fox, who had agreed to act as judge, marked the distance and led the runners away from the hare, soon he was far out of sight and to make the tortoise feel very deeply how ridiculous it was for him to try to run with a hare, She lay down next to the field to take a nap until the tortoise caught up with her. Meanwhile she continued to advance slowly but steadily and then she spent some time in the place where the hare slept, but the hare continued to sleep very peacefully and when he finally woke up, the tortoise He was close to the goal, now they ran with their Swift us, but he couldn't reach the turtle in time.

The race is not always for the swift, the bees, the wasps and the hornet had found a store of honey in a hollow tree and the wasps positively declared that it belonged to them, the bees were equally sure that the treasure was there, the The argument became very direct and it seemed that the matter could not be resolved without a battle when he finally had a lot of sense and agreed to let a judge decide the matter, so they took the case before the Hornet justice of the peace in that part of the forest when the judge called the case the witnesses testified that they had seen certain winged creatures in the vicinity of the hollow tree who hummed loudly and whose bodies were striped yellow and black like bees the wasp lawyer immediately insisted that this description fit exactly with his clients such evidence did not help Judge Hornet was quick to make any decision, so he adjourned for six weeks to give him time to think about it when the case came up again.

Both sides had a large number of witnesses and Ant was the first to take the stand and was about to be questioned. When a wise old man addressed the court, your honour, he said that the case has been pending for six weeks if it is not decided soon, the honey will not be fit for anything, I moved the bees and the wasps, they were both ordered to They will build a honeycomb. Then we will soon see who the honey really belongs to. The wasps protested loudly. The wise judge Hornet quickly understood why they did it. Then they knew that they could not build a honeycomb and fill it with honey.

It is clear, said the judge who made the honeycomb and who could. honey belongs to the bees the ability is demonstrated by facts the lark and her young a lark made her nest in a field of young wheat as the days passed the wheat stalks grew and the young birds also grew in strength then one day, when the ripe golden green waved in the breeze, the farmer and his son came to the field, this wheat is now ready for harvest, said the farmer, we must call our neighbors and friends to help us harvest it, the young larks in its nest nearby.

They were very scared because they knew that they would be in great danger if they did not leave the nest before the Reapers arrived. When the mother lark returned with food for them, he told her what they had heard, "Don't be scared, the children," said the mother lark, "Yes. The farmer said." that he would call on his neighbors and friends to help him do his job. This wheat will not be harvested for a while, but a few days later, the wheat was so ripe that when the wind shook the stalks, a shower of wheat leaves rustled. fall on the heads of the young larks if this grass is not harvested immediately said the farmer we will lose half the crop we cannot wait any longer for our friends to help us tomorrow we must work ourselves when the young larks told their mother what what they had heard that day she said then we must leave immediately when a man decides to do his own work and not depend on anyone else then you can be sure that there will be no more delays there was much flapping and testing of wings that afternoon and it is dawn of the The next day when the farmer and his son cut the grain they found an empty nest self-help is the best help the cat and the old rat once upon a time there was a cat who was so vigilant that a mouse barely dared to show the tip of his whiskers. fear of being eaten alive that cat seemed to be everywhere at once with its claws ready to attack, finally the mites stayed so close to their lairs that the cat saw that he would have to use his wits well to catch one, so one One day he climbed onto a shelf and hung from it upside down as if he were dead, clinging to some ropes with one leg.

When the mice looked out and saw him in that position, they thought they had hung him there. punishment for some misdeed, very timidly at first, they stuck their heads out and sniffed attentively, but when nothing moved, the entire troop came out happily to celebrate the cat's death. At that moment, the cat released its grip and we took cover from the mice's surprise. He had finished with three or four now the mice were kept more strictly in the house than ever but the cat who was still hungry for mice knew more tricks than one who rolled himself in flour until he was completely covered and lay down in the flour doubled up with one eye open. for the mice, sure enough, the mice soon began to approach the cat, it was almost as if it had already had a young, chubby mouse under its claws when an old rat that had had a lot of experience with cats and traps and even lost a part of its queued to pay for it he sat at a safe distance from a hole in the wall where he lived careful he cried that may be a lot of food but to me it seems like a lot of the cat whatever it is the wisest thing is to keep it at a safe distance the wise people don't The fox and the crow let themselves be fooled for the second time one bright morning, as the fox followed his sharp nose through the forest in search of something to eat, he saw a crow on the branch of a tree high above, this was no way It was the first crow that the Fox had seen, what caught his attention this time and made him stop for a second look was that the lucky crow was holding some cheese in his beak, no need to look for more thoughts, here it is Master Fox. a delicate morsel for my breakfast he trotted to the foot of the tree where the crow was sitting and looked up in admiration he shouted good morning beautiful creature the crow with his head cocked looked at the fox suspiciously but kept his beak tightly closed over the cheese and he did not return the greeting, what a lovely creature he is, said the Fox, how his feathers shine, what a beautiful shape and what splendid wings, such a wonderful bird should have a very beautiful voice, since everything else about it is so perfect, could you just sing one? song, I know that he would greet his queen of the birds listening to these flattering words, the crow forgot all his suspicions and also his breakfast, he really wanted to be called the queen of the birds, so he opened his beak wide to pronounce it. the loudest car and the cheese fell directly into Zorro's open mouth, thank you, said Master Zorro sweetly as he walked away, although he is broken, you have a voice, but where is your wit?

The flatterer lives at the expense of those who listen to him. The donkey and his shadow had hired a traveler and asked to take him to a distant part of the country. The owner of the donkey went with the traveler walking at his side to drive the donkey and show him the way. which led through a treeless plain where the sun beat down strongly, so intense that the heat became, that the traveler finally decided to stop to rest and as there was no other shade to find, the traveler sat in the shade of the donkey now that the heat had affected the driver.

As much as the traveler had done and more because he had been walking also wanting to rest in the shadow that the donkey cast, he began to fight with the traveler saying that he had rented the donkey and not the shadow that it cast, soon the two came to blows. . and while they were fighting the donkey fled in a fight for the shadow many times we lose the substance the miller his son and the donkey one day a long time ago an old miller and his son were on their way to the market with a donkey that they hoped to sell they drove it very slowly because they thought that they would have a better chance of selling it if they kept it in good condition while walking along the road some travelers laughed out loud at them what nonsense one shouted while walking when they could Also, the stupidest of the three is not the one you would expect him to be.

The miller didn't like to be laughed at, so he told his son to get up and ride. They had gone a little further down the road when three merchants passed by oh ho what do we have here they cried respect old age young get off and let the old man ride although the miller was not tired he made the boy get off and got on himself to ride just to please The merchants at the next turnstile caught up with some women who were carrying baskets full of vegetables and other things to sell, look at the old fool, one of them exclaimed, sitting on the donkey, while that poor child has to walk, the miller got a little upset, but to be nice.

He told the boy to climb up after him, they had barely started again when a loud shout was heard from another company of people on the road, what a crime one shouted to carry a poor foolish beast that way, they seem more capable of carrying to the poor creature that he. to transport them they must be on their way to sell the poor things Hyde said another, the miller and his son quickly descended a short time later, the market was in an uproar when the two arrived carrying the donkey hanging from a pole a large crowd of people ran to see closer the strange sight.

The ass didn't dislike being carried, but so many people came up to point at him, laugh and shout that he started kicking and kicking Bray and then just as they were crossing a bridge. The ropes holding him gave way and he fell into the river. Poor Miller now sadly headed home trying to please everyone. He had pleased no one and missed his question. Also, if you try to please everyone, no one will please you. The ant and the dove a dove saw an ant fall into a stream the ants struggled in vain to reach the shore and out of pity the dove dropped a blade of straw near her clinging to the straw like a shipwrecked sailor to a broken stick the The ant floated safely to the shore soon after.

The ant saw a man preparing to kill the pigeon with a stone but just as he threw the stone the ants stung him on the heel so that the pain made him miss the target and so The turtledove flew to safety in a distant forest. a kindness is never in vain man and satyr long ago a man met a satyr in the forest and managed to befriend him the two soon became the best of comrades who lived together in the man's hut, but a cold winter afternoon as they were walking home the satyr saw the man blowing on his fingers why are you doing that the satyr to warm my hands the man responded when they got home the man prepared two bowls of porridge which he placed steaming on the table and the guy He sat down very happily to enjoy the food, but to his surprise the man began to blow on his bowl of oatmeal, why are you doing that to call my oatmeal, the man replied, SatanHe stood up hurriedly and headed for the door, goodbye, I said, I've seen enough, a guy who blows hot and cold at the same time cannot be my friend, the man who speaks for both sides is not trusted by either of us. , the wolf, the goat and the goat, the mother goat was going to market one. tomorrow to get supplies for her house, which consisted only of a small child and herself, take good care of the house, my son, she said to the boy as she closed the door carefully, don't let anyone in unless he gives you this password, down with the wolf. and all his race, curiously enough, a wolf was lurking nearby and heard what the goat had said, so as soon as the mother goat was out of sight, she trotted to the door and locked herself in with a wolf and all her race said that the wolf was quietly. the correct password, but when the boy peeked through a crack in the door and saw the shadowy figure outside, he didn't feel it was easy, show me a white coal, he said, or I won't let you in, a white paw, of course, is a feature .

Few wolves can appear and that is why the master wolf had to leave as hungry as he had arrived, you can never be sure, said the boy when he saw the wolf flee towards the forest, the guarantees are better than one, the swallow and the crow, the swallow in the crow. I had an argument one day about his plumage he said to swallow just look at my bright and soft feathers your black quills are not worth having why don't you dress better show a little pride your feathers do very well in the spring the crow replied but no I remember never having seen you here in winter and that's when I have fun most friends and good weather alone are not worth much Jupiter and the monkey there once was a baby show among the forest animals that Jupiter provided The prize, for Of course, all the murmuring crowds from far and near brought their babies, but none got there before the mother monkey, she proudly presented her baby among the other contestants, as you can imagine, there was great laughter when the animals saw to the ugly and hairless one with a flat nose. small flat creature with bulging eyes, if you want, the mother made the monkey, even if Jupiter does not give him the prize, I know that he is the prettiest, the sweetest, the most loved in the world, the love of a mother is blind, the lion, the donkey and the fox, a lion and A donkey and a fox were hunting and in company and captured a large amount of game.

The donkey was asked to divide the loot. This he did very fairly, giving each one an equal share. The fox was very satisfied, but the lion became very angry and with one blow of his enormous paw he added his ass to the pile of dead animals and then turned to the Fox that you divided, he roared angrily, the Fox wasted no time in speaking and He quickly piled up all the game in a large heap, from which he took a very small part. He divided among himself such undesirable pieces as the horns and hooves of a mountain goat and the tip of an ox's tail.

The lion now completely recovered his good humor. Who taught you to divide so fairly? he asked kindly I learned a lesson from the donkey the fox answered walk away carefully learn from other people's misfortunes most of it a long time ago the lion the fox the jackal and the wolf agreed to go hunting together sharing with each other everything they found one day the wolf ran over to a deer and immediately called his companions to divide the loot without being asked. The line stood at the head of the banquet to do the carving and with a great show of justice he began to count the guests.

One said, counting with his claws, that's me. I the lion - that's the wolf three is the jackal and the fox make four and then, very carefully, he divided the deer into four equal parts. I'm the lion king, he said when he finished, so of course I'll take the first part, the next part is up to me because I'm the strongest and this is it. mine because I am the bravest now he began to look at the others very wildly if any of you have any right to the part that remains, he growled stretching his claws significantly, now is the time to speak, might does justice to the mole and its mother .

A little mole once told his mother why mother you said he was blind, but I'm sure I can see that mother mole saw that she would have to get so much presumption out of her head, so she put some incense in front of her and He asked me to tell him. What was it, the little mole looked at him, why is that a pebble, well, my son, that proves that you have lost your sense of smell, in addition to being blind, you boast about one thing and you will lack that and some other things. The north wind and the sun fought over which of them was stronger while they disputed with great heat and bravado.

A traveler passed by on the road wrapped in a cloak. "Let's agree," said the son, who is the most strong one that can very well strip that traveler of his cloak growled the north wind and immediately let out a cold howl against the traveler with the first gust of wind the ends of the cloak lashed the body of the traveler but it immediately wrapped him close to him and the stronger the wind blew the stronger he pressed against him the north wind furiously tore the cloak but all his efforts were in vain then the sun began to shine at first its rays were soft and in the pleasant warmth after the bitter cold of the north wind the traveler unbuttoned his cloak and let it hang loosely from his shoulders the sun's rays became increasingly warmer the man took off his cap and wiped his forehead finally he became so hot that he took off his cloak and to escape of the The scorching sun threw himself into the pleasant shade of a roadside tree, gentleness and kind persuasion, he gained strength and bravado, his hair and ears failed, the lion had been seriously injured by the horns of a goat that he was eating, he was very angry.

Thinking that any animal he chose to eat should be so brazen as to use such dangerous things as horns to scratch it while eating, he then ordered that all horned animals must leave his domain within 24 hours, the order spread terror among the beasts all those who are unlucky enough to have horns began to pack up and take out even the hair who, as you know, do not have horns and therefore had nothing to fear after a very restless night dreaming horrible dreams about the fearsome lion and when it came He emerged from the burrow into the morning sun and saw the shadow cast by its long, pointed ears.

A terrible fright took hold of him. Goodbye, neighbor, Grillo. He called. Leave. No doubt he will notice that my ears have horns. It doesn't matter what he says. do not give your enemies the slightest reason to attack your reputation your enemies will cease any excuse to attack you wolves and sheep a pack of wolves worked near the sheep pasture but the dogs kept them all at a respectful distance and the sheep were grazing in perfect safety, but now the wolves thought of a plan to deceive the sheep, why is there always this hostility between us, they said, if it weren't for those dogs that are always causing trouble.

I'm sure we'll get along very well. Send them away and you will do it. look how good friends we will be the sheep were easily fooled they persuaded the dogs to leave and that same night the wolves had the biggest banquet of their lives don't give up friends for phones he and the fox a fox was trapped in a trap one fine morning because he had gotten too close to the farmer's chicken coop. He was undoubtedly hungry but that was no excuse to steal. An early riser discovered what had happened. He knew that the Fox couldn't reach him so he got a little closer to get a good Look at him his enemy the Fox saw a small chance of escape dear friend he said I was on my way to visit a sick relative when I tripped over this rope and got everything tangled but please don't tell anyone about this I don't like it causing pain to anyone and I'm sure I can soon tear the rope to pieces, but it was thought that he was so easily fooled that he soon woke up the whole chicken coop and when the farmer ran away, that was the end of the gentleman.

Zorro the evil one does not deserve help the donkey with a lion's skin and the donkey found a lion's skin left in the forest by a hunter he dressed with it and had fun hiding in a bush and suddenly running towards the animals that were passing by all time. They fled the moment they saw him, the donkey was so happy to see the animals fleeing from him as if he were the lion king himself, that he could not help but express his joy with a loud and harsh bray, a fox that ran with him. the break stopped dead as soon as he heard the voice approaching the donkey he said with a laugh if you had kept your mouth shut maybe you would have scared me too but you gave yourself away to that fool Bray a fool can deceive by his clothes and appearance but His words will soon show what the fisherman and the little fish really are.

A poor fisherman who lived off the fish he caught was unlucky one day and caught nothing but a very small fry. The fisherman was about to put it in his basket when the little fish He said please forgive me mr. fisherman I'm so small it's not worth taking home when I'm bigger I'll make you a much better meal but the fisherman quickly put the fish in his basket what a fool I should be he told me to throw you back no matter how small you are you are better than nothing at all a small game is worth more than a big promise the Fighter and the Eagle once there were two living in the same pen who could not bear to see each other finally one day they flew to fight with beak and claw they fought until one of them was hit and crawled into a corner to hide, the one who had won the battle flew to the top of the chicken coop and, proudly flapping his wings, sang with all his might to tell the world of his victory, but an eagle flying over him I'm listening. the boastful Chanticleer and swooped down and took him to her nest, his rival saw the fact and leaving her corner took his place as master of the pride of the corral in the event of a fall and of the tranquility of her children due to the ease .
