1. The Cat and the Fox
Moral cerita dongeng bahasa inggris singkat berjudul " The Cat and The Fox" ini
adalah menggunakan akal/cara sehat selalu lebih baik daripada cara lick
Once a Cat and a Fox were traveling together. As they went along,
picking up provisions on the way -- a stray mouse here, a fat chicken
there -- they began an argument to while away the time between bites.
And, as usually happens when comrades argue, the talk began to get
personal.
"You think you are extremely clever, don't you?" said the Fox. "Do you
pretend to know more than I? Why, I know a whole sackful of tricks!"
"Well," retorted the Cat, "I admit I know one trick only, but that one, let
me tell you, is worth a thousand of yours!"
Just then, close by, they heard a hunter's horn and the yelping of a
pack of hounds. In an instant the Cat was up a tree, hiding among the
leaves.
"This is my trick," he called to the Fox. "Now let me see what yours
are worth."
But the Fox had so many plans for escape he could not decide which
one to try first. He dodged here and there with the hounds at his heels.
He doubled on his tracks, he ran at top speed, he entered a dozen
burrows, but all in vain. The hounds caught him, and soon put an end
to the boaster and all his tricks.

On the first sunny day of summer Lulu the grey and cute koala
and Bella the jumpy and brown kangaroo had a nice sip at the
cool, blue river.
"Hey Lulu. Do you want to go on a race?", asked Bella. "Okay",
said Lulu with a certain feeling she would lose.
So they ran the race and of course fast Bella won and Lulu was
right for once.
About an hour later Bella shouted at the top of her voice, "Let’s
see who can touch the top of that tree first".
"Okay, but only if you don’t cheat", said Lulu. "I promise", said
Bella.
Because Lulu was so determined, she climbed to the top faster
than Bella could run. Lulu was so happy that she closed her eyes
while she jumped down the tree saying "Yippy!"
