Belling the Cat

Once upon a time, the mice in a big house were very afraid of the cat. The cat was quick and clever, and it would catch any mouse that came out to find food. The mice lived in fear, so they decided to hold a meeting to find a way to stay safe from the cat.

During the meeting, one clever mouse stood up and said, "I have an idea! Let’s tie a bell around the cat’s neck. When the cat moves, the bell will ring, and we will hear it coming. Then we can run away and be safe." All the mice thought this was a great idea. They were very happy and excited. "Yes, yes! Let’s do it!" they all said. But then, one old mouse asked, "Who is going to tie the bell on the cat?"

Suddenly, the room became quiet. No mouse wanted to go near the cat. They looked at each other, but no one offered to do the dangerous task. Just then, the cat appeared at the door. All the mice quickly ran away to their holes, and the meeting ended.

Moral: It is easy to make plans, but hard to carry them out.

The Hidden Treasure

Once upon a time, there was an old peasant who had several sons. Sadly, all his sons were lazy and did not like to work. The old peasant grew very worried as he became sick and knew he didn’t have much time left to live. One day, feeling very weak, the peasant called all his sons to his bedside. He said, "My dear sons, I am dying, but before I go, I must tell you something important. There is a treasure hidden in our fields. To find it, you must dig for it after I am gone." After giving them this advice, the old peasant passed away.

The sons were excited at the thought of treasure. As soon as their father was buried, they began to dig in the fields. They dug every bit of the land, turning over the soil and searching for the hidden treasure. But no matter how hard they looked, no treasure appeared.

Disappointed, the sons gave up. However, because they had dug the land so well, when the time came to plant crops, the fields produced a very fine crop of corn. The sons realized that the real treasure was not gold or silver, but the fruits of their hard work.

Moral: Hard work is the true treasure in life.

Bad Company

Once there was a boy who fell into bad company. He started spending time with friends who didn’t listen to their parents and often got into trouble. The boy’s father noticed this and grew very worried about his son. One day, the father brought a basket of fresh apples and placed them in the cupboard. He took one rotten apple and put it among the good apples. The boy watched but didn’t understand why his father would do that.

The next day, when the father opened the cupboard, all the apples had become rotten. The father then called his son and said, "Look at these apples. Yesterday, only one was rotten, but today, all of them are ruined because of that one bad apple." The boy understood the lesson his father was trying to teach him. Just like the apples, one bad friend can spoil a person’s character.

Moral: Bad company corrupts good character.

The Shepherd Boy and the Wolf

Once there was a shepherd boy who looked after a flock of sheep near a village. He often felt bored while watching the sheep graze, so one day, just for fun, he cried out, "Wolf! Wolf!" Hearing his cries, the villagers ran to help him in large numbers. But when they arrived, they saw no wolf. The boy laughed at them for being fooled. The villagers were angry but went back to their work.

The boy enjoyed the joke so much that a few days later, he cried "Wolf!" again. The villagers came running once more, but again there was no wolf, and the boy laughed at them. One day, a real wolf came and attacked the flock of sheep. The boy was scared and shouted, "Wolf! Wolf!" as loud as he could. But this time, the villagers did not believe him. They thought he was playing another trick, so no one came to help. The wolf killed many sheep, and the boy was left helpless.

Moral: No one believes a liar, even when he tells the truth.

A hungry fox walked by and saw the crow with the cheese. The fox wanted the cheese and thought of a plan.

The fox looked up and said, "Dear crow, you are so beautiful! Your feathers are shiny, and I have heard you sing so sweetly. Will you sing a song for me?" The crow, feeling proud and happy, opened its beak to sing. As soon as it did, the cheese fell to the ground. The fox quickly grabbed it and ran away, laughing. The crow realized too late that the fox had tricked him.

Moral: Don’t trust people who try to praise you for their own gain.
