Once upon a time there lived a lion in a forest.
One day after a heavy meal. It was sleeping under a tree. After a while, there came a mouse and it started to play on the lion.

Suddenly the lion got up with anger and looked for those who disturbed its nice sleep. Then it saw a small mouse standing trembling with fear.

The lion jumped on it and started to kill it. The mouse requested the lion to forgive it. The lion felt pity and left it. The mouse ran away.

On another day, the lion was caught in a net by a hunter. The mouse came there and cut the net. Thus it escaped. There after, the mouse and the lion became friends. They lived happily in the forest afterwards.

A farmer said to his wife, “You are lazy. You work slowly and lethargically. You waste your time."

The wife was angry at the words of her husband.

She said to her husband, “You are wrong. Stay at home tomorrow. I will go to field. I will do your work there. Will you do my works at home here?"

The farmer said happily, “Very well. I will do your works back at home."

The wife said, “Milk the cow. Feed the pigs. Wash the utensils. Take care of our hen. Spin the yarn."

The woman went to the field. The farmer stayed back at home. He took a vessel and went to the cow to milk it. He tried to milk the cow. He received a good kick. He then went to the pig-sty. He hit his head against the beam. He went to feed the hen. He forgot to spin.

The wife returned from the field when it turned evening. The farmer hung down his head in shame. Thereafter he did not find fault with his wife. They lived happily together for a long time.

Once upon a time there was a little boy who became very ill. He had to spend all day in bed,
unable to move. Because other children weren't allowed to come near him, he suffered
greatly, and spent his days feeling sad and blue.
There wasn't much he could do except look out of the window. Time passed, and his feeling
of despair just grew. Until one day he saw a strange shape in the window. It was a penguin
eating a sausage sandwich. The penguin squeezed in through the open window, said "good
afternoon" to the boy, turned around, and left again.
Of course, the boy was very surprised. He was still trying to work out what had happened,
when outside his window he saw a monkey in a nappy, busy blowing up a balloon. At first
the boy asked himself what that could possibly be, but after a while, as more and more
crazy-looking characters appeared out the window, he burst out laughing and found it hard
to stop.
Anyone wanting to stop laughing would never be helped by seeing a pig playing a
tambourine, an elephant jumping on a trampoline, or a dog wearing a pair of glasses and
talking about nothing except politics. The little boy didn't tell anyone about this because
who would have believed him? Even so, those strange characters ended up putting joy back in his heart, and in his body. Before long, his health had improved so much that he was able
to go back to school again.
There he got to talk to his friends, and tell them all the strange things he had seen. While he
was talking to his best friend he saw something sticking out of his friend's school bag. The
boy asked his friend what it was, and he was so insistent that finally his friend had to show
him what was in the bag:
There, inside, were all the fancy-dress suits and disguises that his best friend had been using
to try to cheer the little boy up!
And from that day on, the little boy always did his best to make sure that no one felt sad
and alone.

Gail the Whale lived in a small salty lake. She was the only whale in that territory, and she
led a very comfortable life. In fact, this easy life made her a bit fussy. But, one year, there
was such an incredibly hot summer that the lake's water really warmed up. Gail, used to
such an ideal existence, could hardly stand the hot water. A little fish, which had spent some
time in a child's goldfish bowl, told Gail that humans used fans to cool themselves down in
summer. From then on, Gail the Whale couldn't think of anything else apart from how to
build her very own fan.
Everyone told her that she was overreacting, and that the hot weather would soon pass, but
Gail got to work, constructing her enormous fan. When it was finally finished, she started
fanning away at herself. Unlucky for the fish! The giant fan beat the little lake's waters so strongly that huge waves
rolled right across it. The waves crashed onto the lakeshore, leaving the lake half empty, and
Gail stranded in only a few inches of water.
"You couldn't just hang on for while. You had to empty the lake," some unhappy-looking fish
berated her. "So impatient! So selfish!" others shouted. But the worst of it for Gail was not
the insults, but the fact that with so little water around her, the heat was becoming
unbearable. Preparing herself to die of heatstroke, she said her goodbyes to all her friends,
and they asked for her forgiveness. She assured them all that if she were to live again she
would be stronger and learn to put up with life's discomforts.
Yet, once again, Gail the Whale was overreacting. She managed to survive those hot days
without dying, although, of course, she suffered. When the next rains arrived, the lake filled
up again, and the weather improved. Naturally, Gail had to keep her promise, and show
everyone that she had learned not to be so dependent on comfort, so impatient, and so
fussy

A boy and a girl were playing together. The boy had a collection of marbles. The girl has some sweets with her. The boy told the girl that he would give her all his marbles in exchange for the sweets with her. The girl agreed.

The boy kept the most beautiful and the biggest marbles with him and gave her the remaining marbles. The girl gave him all her sweets as she promised. That night the girl slept peacefully. But the boy could not sleep as he kept wondering if the girl has hidden some sweets from him the way he had hidden the best marbles from her.

There was once a boy who would never get dressed when his parents told him to, nor would
he put on what they wanted him to after his bath. He preferred to dress in a much stranger
manner, but above all, he liked to take his time. His parents were always in a rush, and wanted him to be a lot quicker, but the boy didn't like this, and he would slow down even
more.
One day, his parents were in their usual hurry, and they got so angry when he refused to
dress, that they told him that he would have to go out naked. The boy didn't mind this in the
least. So out they went.
While the boy was standing naked outside his house, waiting for his parents to bring the car,
along came the local pig farmer. The pig farmer was hard of hearing and had poor eyesight.
Not only that, but he'd also forgotten to put his glasses on that day. When he saw the little
boy's pink skin, he thought it was one of his pigs. And, with a bit of shouting, prodding, and
pushing, the farmer managed to get the boy safely back to a pigsty.
The boy protested the whole way there, but as the farmer was almost deaf, his complaints
didn't help him. And there he was for the whole day, living amongst the pigs, thought to be
a pig, and sharing their food and home.
Finally, though, his parents found him. The boy had had such a regrettable day that never
again did he want to be mistaken for anything other than a human being. Nowadays he's
the first to get dressed, and look perfectly neat and tidy, just like those children in the
clothes catalogues
