THE WISE OWL

A wise old owl

Sat in an oak.

The more he saw,

The less he spoke.

The less he spoke,

The more he heard.

Why can't we be like

That wise old bird?

Five Little OwlsFive little owls in an old elm tree,

Fluffy and puffy as owls could be,

Blinking and winking with big round eyes

At the big round moon that hung in the skies.

As I passed beneath, I could hear one say,

"There'll be mouse for supper, there will, today!"

Then all of them hooted "Tu -whit, Tu-whoo!"

Yes, mouse for supper, Hoo hoo, Hoo hoo!"

The Shepherd’s boy and the wolfA Shepherd-boy, who watched a flock of sheep near a village, brought out the villagers three or four times by crying out, “Wolf! Wolf!” and when his neighbours came to help him, laughed at them for their pains.

The Wolf, however, did truly come at last. The Shepherd-boy, now really alarmed, shouted in an agony of terror: “Pray, do come and help me; the Wolf is killing the sheep;” but no one paid any heed to his cries, nor rendered any assistance.

The Wolf, having no cause of fear, at his leisure lacerated or destroyed the whole flock.

The moral of the story is: There is no believing a liar, even when he speaks the truth.

The Mouse, The Frog, And The Hawk.A Mouse who always lived on the land, by an unlucky chance formed an intimate acquaintance with a Frog, who lived for the most part in the water.

The Frog, one day intent on mischief, bound the foot of the Mouse tightly to his own. Thus joined together, the Frog first of all led his friend the Mouse to the meadow where they were accustomed to find their food.

After this, he gradually led him towards the pool in which he lived, until reaching the very brink, he suddenly jumped in, dragging the Mouse with him.

The Frog enjoyed the water amazingly, and swam croaking about, as if he had done a good deed. The unhappy Mouse was soon suffocated by the water, and his dead body floated about on the surface, tied to the foot of the Frog.

A Hawk observed it, and, pouncing upon it with his talons, carried it aloft. The Frog, being still fastened to the leg of the Mouse, was also carried off a prisoner, and was eaten by the Hawk.

The moral of the story is: Harm hatch, harm catch.
