The Hare and the Tortoise The race is not always to the swift. The hare was making fun of the tortoise because he was slow. The hare challenged the tortoise to a race. The hare was so confident he sleepy during the race. The tortoise caught to the hare and passed him. When the hare woke up the tortoise was so far ahead that the hare could not catch up no matter how fast he ran. Tortoise won.

Belling the Cat It is one thing to say something should be done, but quite a different matter to do it. The mice have a meeting to discuss a cat problem. A mouse comes up with an idea to put a bell on the cat. An old mouse says, “Well, who is going to bell the cat?”

The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse Poverty with security is better than plenty in the midst of fear. The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse eat lunch together. The Town Mouse asks the Country Mouse to come home to the city with her, and the Country Mouse accepts her offer. The Mice are chased by Cat in the city. Country Mouse returns home after telling Town Mouse that she would rather live in poverty with security over having many nice things and living in fear.

The Goose and the Golden Egg Those who have plenty want more and so lose all they have. Countryman has a goose that lays one glittering, golden egg per day. Goes to the market and sells the eggs to get rich. Gets greedy and wants more golden eggs. Has an idea that if he cuts the goose open he will get all the eggs at once. Ends up killing the goose and gets no eggs.
