2.The wolf and the crane

One day like any other, a young and stocky wolf felt his throat catch on the small bone of one of his prey. Finding himself in the most precarious situation, he began to howl with what little breath he had left:

-Help! Help me and you will be rewarded.

The forest animals ignored the wolf's words as they all knew that he was not to be trusted. However, an unsuspecting crane that was walking around heard his wailing and decided to help him. With its long and thin beak, it entered the wolf's throat and after having extracted the bone, it demanded the promised payment. However, the wolf smiling and gnashing his teeth, exclaimed:

"What do you ask of me?" I assure you that you already have the reward you deserve for having put your head in the mouth of a wolf and have remained alive.

3.The bat and the weasels

A bat fell to the ground and was immediately caught by a weasel who detested birds. Seeing himself about to perish, he begged the weasel to let him live. The weasel refused, saying that it was his nature to be the enemy of all birds. Determined not to give up, the bat assured him that it was not a bird but a mouse. Doubtful, the weasel approached the bat and, noticing that it had no feathers, released it. A few days later, the bat fell back to the ground and was caught by another weasel. However, this weasel felt great hostility towards mice. Again, the bat begged for its life. The weasel refused, stating that from the day of its birth it is the enemy of all mice. The bat assured him that it was not a mouse but a bird. The weasel approached the bat and, observing its wings, let it fly. This is how the bat escaped twice.

The fly and the moth, bedtime stories


On any given night, a fly landed on a jar overflowing with honey and began to eat it around the rim. Slowly, she moved away from the rim and entered the jar unprepared, until she was trapped at the bottom. His legs and wings had been stuck with honey and he could not move.

Just at that moment, a moth flew by and, seeing the fly struggling to free itself, said:

"Oh, you foolish fly!" Was your appetite so much that you ended up like this? If you weren't so gluttonous, you'd be in better shape.

The poor fly had no way to defend itself from the moth's accurate words and kept fighting. After a few hours, he saw the Moth flying around a campfire, drawn by the flames; the moth flew closer and closer to them, until it burned its wings and could not fly again.

"How dare you get so close?" Go away, or I will destroy you with my claws.

However, the mosquito was very boastful and knew well its own abilities and the advantages of its diminutive size.

"I'm not afraid of you!" Exclaimed the mosquito. You may be much stronger than me, but your sharp teeth and claws won't hurt me. To prove it, I challenge you to a fight.

At that moment, the mosquito attacked the lion by biting it on the nose, ears and tail. The lion, even more enraged by the pain, tried to catch the mosquito, but ended up seriously injuring himself with its claws.

Full of pride, the mosquito began to fly without looking where it was going. It was in this way that he tripped over a cobweb and got caught between the silk threads. Then he said to himself between laments:

- How sad is my end; defeat the king of all beasts and end up eaten by an insignificant spider.

The donkey put on the lion's hide and walked the field in disguise. Seeing it, people and animals ran in terror. They thought the donkey was actually a lion!

One day the donkey was so proud of his feat that he let out a loud bray.

Nearby, there was a cunning fox that could not be fooled.

—How boring you are! Stop working and dedicate yourself to enjoying yourself.

The ant, which always saw the cicada resting, replied:

"I'm saving provisions for when winter comes, I advise you to do the same."

"Well, I'm not going to worry about anything," said the cicada, "for now I have everything I need."

And he continued singing and playing.

Winter was not long in coming and the cicada couldn't find food anywhere. Desperate, she went to knock on the ant's door and asked for something to eat:

"What did you do in the summer while I was working?" Asked the ant.

"He was singing and playing," replied the cicada.

"Well, if you sang and played in summer," replied the ant, "keep singing and playing in winter."

With that said, he closed the door.

The cicada learned not to make fun of others and to work with discipline.

Moral: To enjoy yourself, you first have to work.
