The Wolf and the Kid
The kid thinks he is a grown up because he has
big horns.
He doesn’t follow the flock when they leave and
is stuck alone.
As he tries to find his flock he comes across a
wolf
The goat makes him play a song before eating
him.
Dogs near by hear this and know it’s the wolf.
They chase him away from the kid
Do not let anything turn you from your purpose.
The Tortoise and the Ducks
The tortoise has a shell on his back because he
didn’t leave home to attend Jupiter’s wedding.
The tortoise was jealous that he was stuck in
his home all day.
One day he meets to ducks and they agree to show
him the world.
He held a stick in his mouth and they carried
him into the air
As they flew another bird came and started to
talk to the tortoise.
The tortoise began to reply, and opened his
mouth.
He then fell to his death on some rocks.
Foolish curiosity and vanity often lead to
misfortune
The Dog, the Cock, and the Fox
A dog and a cock were best friends, they wanted
to see the world.
They decided to leave the farm and go on an
adventure.
Once night hit, they found a tree to sleep in.
When he woke, the cock forgot where he was and
started to crow.
He accidentally woke up a fox nearby
They fox tried to trick the cock to come down so
he could eat him.
The cock knew what was going on and instead
tricked the fox.
The cock sent the fox right into the dog.
Those who try to deceive may expect to be paid
in their own coin.
The Eagle and the Jackdaw
A Jackdaw saw and eagle swoop down and take a
lamb off the ground.
It thought that it was strong enough to do that
too.
So it tried to swoop down and take a ram off the
ground.
When it tried to pull up, it got stuck in the
ram’s wool
The shepherd saw the bird and took it and
clipped its wings.
He gave the bird to his children.
He told them that the Jackdaw thought it was an
eagle.
Do not let your vanity make you overestimate
your powers.
The Boy and the Filberts
A boy stuck his hand in a pitcher to get some
filberts.
His hands were so stuffed he couldn’t get it
out.
He refused to let go of any of them so he was
still stuck.
His mother told him to let go of half so that he
could have them now, and then have half later.
Do not attempt too much at once.
