THE WOLF AND THE STORK

A long time ago, the wolf and the stork were friends. One day, the wolf
asked the stork to come to his house to eat.

When the stork arrived at the wolf’s house, The wolf put two bowls of
soup on the table. The wolf ate his bowl of soup so quickly. When he
finished, he asked the stork, “did you like my soup?.”

But the stork was angry because he couldn’t eat the soup. His beak was
too long! When the stork went home, he was still hungry. The wolf
laughed and laughed.

Then, the stork had an idea. He asked the wolf to come to dinner. He
filled two tall pitchers with good soup. They began to eat. When the
stork finished eating, he asked the wolf if he wanted more to eat.

But the wolf was angry. His mouth was so big that he couldn’t get it into
the pitcher. The wolf went home hungry and the stork laughed and
laughed.

The wolf and stork have never been friends ever since.

GOLDEN EGG

Long time ago a remote village, in central China was inhabited mainly with
farmers and hunters. One day, a poor farmer lost his entire livestock to flood.
He prayed hard to God for help or his family would die of starvation.

Few days later, an old man with long grey beard, passed by his house took pity
on him. He gave him a goose and said “ I don’t have any expensive thing to
give you and hope this goose will help you to ease your hardship.”

A week later to almost surprise the farmer found and egg in his yard. This was
no ordinary egg. It was a golden egg. He was suddenly overcome with joy.

Thereafter, his livelihood had rapidly improved but the farmer had forgotten
his earlier hardship. He became lazy, arrogant and spendthrift.

Strangely, the goose only laid one golden egg every six months. The greedy
farmer lost his patient and slaughtered his goose thinking there were plenty
of golden eggs inside its stomach.

Though he very much regretted for his foolishness, it’s already too late
