Lazy John

There was a boy


named John who
was so lazy, he
couldn’t even
bother to change
his clothes. One
day, he saw that
the apple tree in
their yard was
full of fruits. He
wanted to eat
some apples but
he was too lazy
to climb the tree
and take the
fruits. So, he lay
down underneath
the tree and
waited for the
fruits to fall off.
John waited and
waited until he
was very hungry
but the apples
never fell.
The Fox and The
Grapes
Once there was a
hungry fox who
stumbled upon a
vineyard. After
seeing the round,
juicy grapes
hanging in a
bunch, the fox
drooled. But no
matter how high
he jumped; he
couldn’t reach for
it. So, he told
himself that it
was probably
sour and left.
That night, he
had to sleep on
an empty
stomach.
The Boy Who Cried
Wolf
There was once
a shepherd boy
who liked to play
tricks. One day,
while he was
watching over
the herd, the boy
decided to play a
trick and cried
“wolf! wolf!”. The
people who
heard rushed
over to help him.
But they were
disappointed
when they saw
that there was no
wolf and the boy
was laughing at
them. The next
day, he did it
again and people
rushed to his aid
only to be
disappointed
once again. On
the third day, the
boy saw a wolf
devouring one of
his sheep and
cried for help.
But the people
who heard him
thought this is
just another of
the boy’s pranks
so no one came
to help him. That
day, the boy lost
some of his
sheep to the
wolf.
The Elephant and the
Ants
There was once
a proud elephant
who always
bullied smaller
animals. He
would go to the
anthill near his
home and spray
water at the
ants. The ants,
with their size,
could do nothing
but cry. The
elephant just
laughed and
threatened the
ants that he
would crush
them to death.
One day, the ants
had enough and
decided to teach
the elephant a
lesson. They
went straight
into the
elephant’s trunk
and started
biting him. The
elephant could
only howl in pain.
He realized his
mistake and
apologized to the
ants and all the
animals he
bullied.
The Lion and the Poor
Slave
There was once
a slave who was
treated cruelly by
his master. One
day, he couldn’t
take it anymore
and ran away to
the forest to
escape. There he
chanced upon a
lion who couldn’t
walk because of
the thorn in its
paw. Although
he’s scared, the
slave mustered
his courage and
took out the
thorn in the lion’s
paw. When the
lion was finally
free of the thorn,
he ran into the
forest and didn’t
harm the slave.
Sometime later,
the slave was
caught by his
master along
with some
animals in the
forest. The
master then
ordered the slave
to be thrown into
the lion’s den.
When the slave
saw the lion, he
recognized it as
the same lion he
helped in the
forest. The slave
was able to
escape the den
unharmed and he
freed all the
other animals.
