The Ant and the Grasshopper. In a field, an ant worked hard all summer, collecting food for the winter. A grasshopper, seeing the ant, laughed at its toil and just sang and danced all day. When winter came, the ant had plenty of food in its nest, warm and comfortable. But the grasshopper, with no food stored, was cold and starving. The moral of this fable is that it is wise to be prepared and work hard instead of being lazy.
Once upon a time, there was a Tortoise and a Hare. The hare was very proud of his speed and often mocked the slow - moving tortoise. One day, they decided to have a race. The hare took off quickly and soon was far ahead. Feeling confident, he decided to take a nap. Meanwhile, the tortoise just kept plodding along slowly but steadily. By the time the hare woke up, the tortoise was near the finish line. And the tortoise won the race. This fable teaches us that slow and steady wins the race.
There was a young Crow. He was very thirsty on a hot day. He saw a pitcher with a little water at the bottom. He tried to reach the water with his beak but couldn't. After thinking for a while, he started picking up pebbles one by one and dropping them into the pitcher. As he added more pebbles, the water level rose until he could finally drink. This fable shows that where there's a will, there's a way.
