THE LION AND THE SLAVE


Once upon a time, there was a slave who was badly treated by his master. Having been through a lot, the slave decided to run and escaped to the forest. There, he met a lion who couldn’t walk as he had a thorn stuck in its paw.

Seeing this, even though the slave was scared. He decided to help, gathered courage and took out the thorn from the lion’s paw. When the thorn was out from the lion’s paw, he ran into the forest. He didn’t harm the slave.

After some time, the master found the slave in the forest, along with some other animals. The master ordered to throw the slave into the lion’s den.

Seeing the lion, the slave recognised him instantly as it was the same lion he had helped in the forest. The lion didn’t harm him and let the slave escape. Once he escaped, he freed the other animals as well.

The Monkey and the Crocodile

Image
A monkey lived on a berry tree on the River Bank. Once he saw a crocodile under the tree who looked hungry and tired. He gave the crocodile some berries, the crocodile thanked the monkey and became one of his friends.   The monkey would give berries to the crocodile every day. One day the monkey even gave the crocodile extra berries to take to his wife.  His wife enjoyed the berries but told her husband that she wanted to eat the monkey's heart. She was a wicked and cunning woman. The crocodile was upset, but he decided that he needed to make his wife happy.  On the next day, the crocodile went to the monkey and said that his wife had called him for dinner.

The Ant and the Grasshopper

Image
Once upon a time, in a vast meadow, lived an industrious ant and a carefree grasshopper. The ant worked tirelessly all summer, gathering food and storing it away for the winter. Each day, from sunrise to sunset, the ant would venture out to collect grains of wheat and other provisions, carefully carrying them back to her underground home. The grasshopper, on the other hand, spent his summer days singing, playing his fiddle, and basking in the sun. He would often mock the ant as he played his tunes, saying, "Why do you work so hard, dear ant? Come join me, enjoy the summer, and worry about winter when it comes." But the ant paid no heed to the grasshopper's taunts. She continued her diligent work, knowing that the winter months would bring harsh conditions and scarcity of food. "I must prepare," she would reply. "Winter will be here before we know it, and I want to be ready." As the weeks passed, the meadow began to change. The days grew shorter, and th

The Three Little Pigs

Image
Once upon a time, in a quaint little village, there were three little pigs who lived with their mother. As they grew older, their mother decided it was time for them to leave home and make their way in the world. "My dear children," she said, "it is time for you to seek your fortunes and build your own houses. Remember to make them strong and sturdy to protect yourselves from the Big Bad Wolf." The first little pig, who was quite lazy, decided to build his house out of straw. "This will be easy and quick," he thought. He hastily gathered straw and built his house in a single day. Pleased with his accomplishment, he spent the rest of his time playing and relaxing. The second little pig, who was somewhat more diligent but still liked his leisure, decided to build his house out of sticks. "Sticks are sturdier than straw," he reasoned, "and it won’t take too long." He worked for a few days, assembling a neat little house of sticks. Once fin
