The Kind Deer

Thursday, April 23rd, 2009

A big lion got trapped under a heavy trunk of a tree and could hardly move. A deer that was passing by saw him, the deer was afraid of him but it was so kind-hearted that it decided it help him get out of the heavy trunk.

It scratched the soil around vigorously, then the soil under his body. After a long while, the lion was freed but he could not move easily because some parts of his body were painful. He then asked the deer to accompany him to his cave, and there, he promised to give the deer some food as a sign of his gratitude.

The deer simply smiled at him and said it didn’t want to try its luck any further. It was enough for the deer that he was in pain and could not kill it.

The deer left.

Planting The Seed

Monday, April 20th, 2009

Two foxes were eating fruits they took from an orchard. The first fox told the second fox to plant the seed of the fruits so they could have a steady supply of fruits. But the second fox just smiled and threw the seeds of the fruits it was eating. The first fox however planted the seed.

Soon the seed grow and the first fox patiently took care of the plant until it bore fruits. Now the first fox had a steady supply of fruits and he didn’t have to sneak into a man’s orchard to have something to eat. When the second fox asked for some fruits, he gave it seeds instead and told it to plant the seeds.

A Wrong Move

Saturday, April 18th, 2009

A dog saw a lonely heron and asked her why she looked so glum. The heron said she was so hungry but there was no fish in the swamp as it had dried up because of the summer heat. The dog told the heron that he knew a place where she could catch lots of fish. But he made her promise that she would give him a share of the catch. The heron gladly agreed and so they went.

They ended up in a small creek where lots of fish were swimming leisurely. The heron happily went to the water and in an instance had caught a big fish.

The dog approached her and asked her of his share in the catch. But the heron got greedy and decided to fly with the fish. She was about to fly when the dog grabbed her by the feet with his mouth.

“You don’t want to give me fish so you will be my food,” said the angry dog.

He was envied and admired by all the frogs in their village. Because of the attention he was getting, he became boastful.

One day, he went to a nearby brook to take a bath and catch small insects to eat. He was enjoying the cool water of the brook that he didn’t notice he was going further and further away from their village. It was already getting dark when he realized that he lost his way.

No matter how much he tried he could not find his way home. Some frogs along the way asked him if he wanted help but he was too proud to admit that he lost his way. When he finally decided to seek help, there were no more frogs around because it was night
