A Raven & a Swan

A Raven, which you know is black as coal, was

envious of the Swan, because her feathers were as white
as the purest snow. The foolish bird got the idea that if
he lived like the Swan, swimming and diving all day long
and eating the weeds and plants that grow in the water,
his feathers would turn white like the Swan's.

So he left his home in the woods and fields and flew

down to live on the lakes and in the marshes. But though
he washed and washed all day long, almost drowning
himself at it, his feathers remained as black as ever. And
as the water weeds he ate did not agree with him, he got
thinner and thinner, and at last he died.

Moral Lesson:

A change of habits will not alter nature.

 The Ass & the Load of Salt
A Merchant, driving his Ass homeward 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
Ass slipped and fell when
halfway over. And when
the Merchant at last got
him to his feet, much of
the salt had melted away.
Delighted to find how
much lighter his burden
had become, the Ass
finished the journey very
gayly.

Next day the Merchant went for another load of salt.

On the way home the Ass, remembering what had
happened at the ford, purposely let himself fall into the
water, and again got rid of most of his burden.

The angry Merchant immediately turned about and

drove the Ass back to the seashore, where he loaded him
with two great baskets of sponges. At the ford the Ass
again tumbled over; but when he had scrambled to his
feet, it was a very disconsolate Ass that dragged himself
homeward under a load ten times heavier than before.

Moral Lesson:

The same measures will not suit all circumstances.

 The Lion & the Gnat
"Away with you, vile
insect!" said a Lion angrily
to a Gnat that was buzzing
around his head. But the
Gnat was not in the least
disturbed.

"Do you think," he said

spitefully to the Lion, "that
I am afraid of you because
they call you king?"

The next instant he

flew at the Lion and stung
him sharply on the nose.
Mad with rage, the Lion
struck fiercely at the Gnat, but only succeeded in tearing
himself with his claws. Again and again the Gnat stung
the Lion, who now was roaring terribly. At last, worn out
with rage and covered with wounds that his own teeth
and claws had made, the Lion gave up the fight.

The Gnat buzzed away to tell the whole world about

his victory, but instead he flew straight into a spider's
web. And there, he who had defeated the King of beasts
came to a miserable end, the prey of a little spider.

The least of our enemies is often the most to be feared.

Moral Lesson:

Pride over a success should not throw us

off our guard.
 The Lion, the Bear, & the Fox

Just as a great Bear rushed to seize a stray kid, a

Lion leaped from another direction upon the same prey.
The two fought furiously for the prize until they had
received so many wounds that both sank down unable to
continue the battle.

Just then a Fox dashed up, and seizing the kid, made
off with it as fast as he could go, while the Lion and the
Bear looked on in helpless rage.

"How much better it would have been," they said, "to

have shared in a friendly spirit."

Moral Lesson:

Those who have all the toil do not always get the profit.
