    "Take me with you, please," called a tortoise to a gray duck and a white duck that were flying over. The ducks heard the tortoise and flew down toward him. "Do you really wish to go with us?" asked the ducks as they came to the ground near the tortoise. "I surely do," replied the tortoise. "Will you please take me?" "Why, yes, I think we can do so,...

    A frog, while out walking one day, saw a mouse coming toward him. "There is that foolish mouse," said he. "I will play a good joke on him," and he grinned as he thought how much fun he would have. As they met, the frog said, "Good morning, Sir Mouse; I hope I find you well to−day." "Very well," replied the mouse. "How are you?" "My health is not ve...

    "Let us go to the pond and have some fun," said George. "What fun can we have there?" asked Frank. "The pond is nothing but an old mudhole. We can not swim in such water." Down at the pond the sun shone warm, and an old mother frog and her children were sunning themselves on a log. Now and then one plunged into the water with a chug! and then crawl...

    John was a shepherd boy. He cared for his father's sheep. As there were many wolves prowling about waiting for a chance to kill the sheep, John had to be very watchful. Some men were harvesting wheat in a field not far from where the flock was feeding. One day they were startled by the cry, "A wolf! a wolf!" They looked up and saw John motioning wi...

    A small stream ran between two hills. Over this stream there was a very narrow bridge. If two persons came to the opposite ends of this bridge at the same time, one must wait for the other to cross before he could go over. One morning, two goats, a black one and a white one, reached the opposite ends of the bridge at the same moment. The black goat...

    The mill feeders of a great millthe stomachmet together to talk over their trials. The hands said, "We are tired of carrying grist to the door of the greedy mill. We would rather spend all our time painting pictures or writing books." "We were made for talking and singing," said the lips, "but much of our time has to be spent in taking grist for th...

    "Boys, why are you always quarreling? That is no way to live," said a farmer to his sons one day. The sons would not listen to their father. Each wanted the best of everything. Each thought the father did more for the others than for him. The father bore the quarreling as long as he could. One day he called his seven sons to him. He had in his hand...

    The mill feeders of a great mill—the stomach—met together to talk over their trials. The hands said, "We are tired of carrying grist to the door of the greedy mill.

    "Those oxen are too good friends to suit me," said a hungry lion. "They are never far apart, and when I am near them they turn their tails to one another and show long sharp horns on every side. They even walk down to the river together when they become thirsty. If I could catch one of them by himself, I should have a feast." But one day the o...

    "Are you afraid of a lion? I am not. There is nothing that I should like better than to meet one," said a man to his neighbor whose calf the lion had killed. "To−morrow morning I will go out and hunt for this fierce lion, which is doing so much harm. If he is anywhere about, I shall find him and kill him, and thus rid the village of fear." The...

    Once upon a time a fox fell into a well. He was not hurt by his fall. As there was little water in the well, he was in no danger of drowning; but he could not get out. He cried, "Help! help! help! help!" but no one heard him. By and by a wolf passed by the well. He heard the call. He looked into the well and asked, "Who is down there?" "I...

    What a queer meeting that was down in the cellar! There were big mice, little mice, old mice, young mice, gray mice, and brown mice, all very sober and thoughtful. At last an old mouse spoke up and said, "Shall we have Mr. Graypate for our chairman? All those who wish Mr. Graypate to be chairman will please hold up their right hands." Every mouse r...

    One day the door of a cottage stood open. A tame crow flew through the door into the cottage. She stole a piece of meat from the table, and flew to a branch of a tall tree. Just as she had settled there to enjoy her meat a fox came along and stopped under the tree. He sniffed something good to eat. Looking about, he saw the meat in the crow's mouth...

    "I hate a black dress, no matter how glossy," said a proud crow. "I have made up my mind to be a peacock." As he said this, he flew away to a barnyard where he found some feathers which the peacock had shed. He picked these up with his bill and placed them among his own feathers. Then he marched back and forth, looking at his fine new coa...

    A man once owned a beautiful black horse and a very ugly donkey. The horse always had plenty to eat and was well groomed, but the donkey was very poorly cared for. One bright morning both animals were made ready for a long journey. A saddle was placed upon the horse, and a heavy pack of goods was loaded upon the donkey. The donkey was a v...

    "We cast cool shade upon the green grass," whispered the fluttering leaves. "We dress the tree in fresh and quiet green. It is bare and brown without us. The tired traveler and the panting beast are thankful for our shade. Children love to play under our shelter. At night the song birds of the woods fly to us for our protection. We hide the nests o...

    A gnat perched upon the horn of a bull. "Dear sir," he said to the bull, "I am sorry to trouble you, but I am too worn out to go any farther. Does my weight tire you? When you can bear it no longer, I shall go on." "You need not leave on my account," said the bull. "I did not know when you sat down and I shall not miss you when you leave."

    A farmer who had worked hard all his life was taken sick. He knew that he must soon die. He called his three sons about his bed to give them some advice. "My sons," said he, "keep all of the land which I leave you. Do not sell any of it, for there is a treasure in the soil. I shall not tell you where to hunt for it, but if you try hard to find it, ...

    "You may hunt with me now, Reynard," said a wise old fox to his young son. "It is time that you were beginning to make your living." "That pleases me well," said Reynard. "I should not mind going out alone." "You are not ready yet to go by yourself. There are many things that I must teach you first. Do not go without me." Reynard said not...

    "Mother, may I go into the country to−day? You said I might go some day. I am big enough now to go out alone. Do let me go," said Frisky, a young mouse, to his mother. "Well, child, I can not be with you always. I suppose there must be a first time for you to go out alone. I dread to have you go, but if you will promise to run home if a cat comes n...

    Two doves, White−coat and Blue−feather, lived in a dovecote. They were brothers and were very fond of each other. White−coat was a great home body, but Blue−feather liked to travel. One day Blue−feather said to White−coat, "I want to see the world. This place is very tame. I have lived here all my life (he was only six months old) and have seen all...

    A horse, in the early spring, was turned into a pasture of fresh grass. He was enjoying himself very much when a hungry wolf spied him. The horse did not see the wolf. The wolf said, "I want that horse. I have not had a good meal for a month. He is so big that I can not catch him as I would a sheep. I shall have to play a trick." So he lay down on ...

    There was once a terrible war between the birds and the beasts. For a long time it was doubtful which would win. The bat said, "I am not a bird and I am not a beast, so I shall fight on neither side." At last the beasts seemed to be gaining the victory. The bat flew to them and said, "I am a beast. Look at my body and you will see that I am. I...

    Some working bees had made their comb in the hollow trunk of an oak. The drones said, "We made that comb. It belongs to us." "You did not make that comb," replied the workers. "You know very well that you did not. We made it." The drones answered, "That comb belongs to us and we are going to have it." So the workers took the case to ...
