I.The Wolf in Sheep's Clothing
A Wolf found great difficulty in getting at the sheep owing to the vigilance of the shepherd and his dogs.But one day it found the skin of a sheep that had been flayed and thrown aside,so it put it on over its own pelt and strolled down among the sheep.
The Lamb that belonged to the sheep whose skin the Wolf was wearing began to follow the Wolf in the Sheep's clothing.So,leading the Lamb a little apart,he soon made a meal off her - and for some time he succeeded in deceiving the sheep,and enjoying hearty meals.
Appearances are deceptive.
II.The Fox and The Crow
A Fox once saw a Crow fly off with a piece of cheese in its beak and settle on a branch of a tree.
"That's for me,as I am a Fox," said Master Reynard,and he walked up to the foot of the tree.
"Good day,Mistress Crow," he cried."How well you are looking today:how glossy your feathers; how bright your eye.I feel sure your voice must surpass that of other birds,just as your figure does; let me hear but one song from you that I may greet you as the Queen of Birds."
The Crow lifted up her head and began to caw her best,but the moment she opened her mouth the piece of cheese fell to the ground,only to be snapped up by Master Fox.
"That will do," said he."That was all I wanted.In exchange for your cheese I will give you a piece of advice for the future:"Do not trust flatterers."

The Thirsty Pigeon
A PIGEON, oppressed by excessive thirst, saw a goblet of water painted on a signboard. Not supposing it to be only a picture, she flew towards it with a loud whir and unwittingly dashed against the signboard, jarring herself terribly. Having broken her wings by the blow, she fell to the ground, and was caught by one of the bystanders.
Zeal should not outrun discretion.
