A Cock was once strutting up and down the farmyard among the hens when
suddenly he noticed something shining amid the straw. "Ho! ho!"
said he, "that\'s for me," and soon rooted it out from beneath the
straw. What did it turn out to be but a Pearl that by some chance
had been lost in the yard? "You may be a treasure," said Master Cock, "to
men that prize you, but for me I would rather have a single barley-corn
than a peck of pearls." "PRECIOUS THINGS ARE FOR THOSE THAT CAN PRIZE THEM."
The Dog and the Shadow
It happened that a Dog had got a piece of meat and was carrying it
home in his mouth to eat it in peace. Now on his way home he had to cross
a plank lying across a running brook. As he crossed, he looked down and
saw his own shadow reflected in the water beneath. Thinking it was another
dog with another piece of meat, he made up his mind to have that also. So
he made a snap at the shadow in the water, but as he opened his mouth the
piece of meat fell out, dropped into the water and was never seen more. "BEWARE LEST YOU LOSE THE SUBSTANCE BY GRASPING AT THE SHADOW."
The Wolf and the Crane
A Wolf had been gorging on an animal he had killed, when
suddenly a small bone in the meat stuck in his throat and he could not
swallow it. He soon felt terrible pain in his throat, and he ran up and
down groaning and groaning and seeking for something to relieve the pain.
He tried to induce every one he met to remove the bone. "I would give
anything," said he, "if you would take it out." At last the Crane agreed
to try, and told the Wolf to lie on his side and open his jaws as wide as
he could. Then the Crane put its long neck down the Wolf\'s throat and with
its beak loosened the bone, till at last got it out. "Will you kindly give me the reward you promised?" said the Crane.
The Wolf showed his teeth and said: "Be content. You have put your
head inside a Wolf\'s mouth and taken it out again in safety; that ought to
be reward enough for you." "GRATITUDE AND GREED GO NOT TOGETHER."
The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse
Now you must know that a Town Mouse once upon a time went on a visit
to his cousin in the country. He was rough and ready, this cousin, but he
loved his town friend and made him heartily welcome. Beans and bacon,
cheese and bread, were all he had to offer, but he offered them freely.
The Town Mouse rather turned up his long nose at this country fare, and
said: "I cannot understand, Cousin, how you can put up with such poor food
as this, but of course you cannot expect anything better in the country;
come you with me and I will show you how to live. When you have been in
town a week you will wonder how you could ever have stood a country life."
No sooner said than done: the two mice set off for the town and arrived at
the Town Mouse\'s residence late at night. "You will want some refreshment
after our long journey," said the polite Town Mouse, and took his friend
into the grand dining-room. There they found the remains of a fine feast,
and soon the two mice were eating up jellies and cakes and all that
was nice. Suddenly they heard growling and barking. "What is that?" said
the Country Mouse. "It is only the dogs of the house," answered the other.
"Only!" said the Country Mouse. "I do not like that music at my dinner."
Just at that moment the door flew open, in came two huge dogs, and the two
mice had to run off. "Good-bye, Cousin," said the Country Mouse, "What!
Going so soon?" said the other. "Yes," he replied, "BETTER BEANS AND BACON IN PEACE THAN CAKES AND JELLIES IN FEAR."
The Fox and the Crow
A Fox once saw a Crow fly off with a piece of cheese in its beak and
settle on a branch of a tree. "That\'s for me, as I am a Fox," said Master
Reynard, and he walked up to the foot of the tree. "Good-day, Mistress
Crow," he cried. "How well you are looking today: how glossy your
feathers; how bright your eye. I feel sure your voice must surpass that of
other birds, just as your figure does; let me hear but one song from you
that I may greet you as the Queen of Birds." The Crow lifted up her head
and began to caw her best, but the moment she opened her mouth the piece
of cheese fell to the ground, only to be snapped up by Master Fox. "That
will do," said he. "That was all I wanted. In exchange for your cheese I
will give you a piece of advice for the future - "DO NOT TRUST
FLATTERERS."
The Sick Lion
A Lion had come to the end of his days and lay sick unto death at the
mouth of his cave, gasping for breath. The animals came round him and drew
nearer as he grew more and more helpless. When they saw him on the point
of death they thought to themselves: "Now is the time to pay off old
grudges." So the Boar came up and drove at him with his
tusks; then a Bull kicked him with his horns; still the Lion lay
helpless before them: so the Ass, feeling quite safe from danger,
came up, and turning his tail to the Lion kicked up his heels into his
face. "This is a double death," growled the Lion. "ONLY COWARDS INSULT DYING MAJESTY."
The Ass and the Lapdog
A Farmer one day came to the stables to see to his beasts of
burden: among them was his favourite Ass that often carried his master.
With the Farmer came his Lapdog, who danced about and licked his hand and
frisked about as happy as could be. The Farmer felt in his pocket, gave
the Lapdog some dainty food, and sat down while he gave his orders to his
servants. The Lapdog jumped into his master\'s lap, and lay there blinking
while the Farmer stroked his ears. The Ass, seeing this, broke loose from
his halter and commenced prancing about in imitation of the Lapdog.
The Farmer could not hold his sides with laughter, so the Ass went up to
him, and putting his feet upon the Farmer\'s shoulder attempted to climb
into his lap. The Farmer\'s servants rushed up with sticks and pitchforks
and soon taught the Ass that "CLUMSY JESTING IS NO JOKE."
