Fox and A Cat
One day a cat and a fox were having a conversation. The fox, who was a
conceited creature, boasted how clever she was. 'Why, I know at least a hundred tricks
to get away from our mutual enemies, the dogs,' she said.
'I know only one trick to get away from dogs,' said the cat. 'You should teach me some
of yours!'
'Well, maybe some day, when I have the time, I may teach you a few of the simpler
ones,' replied the fox airily.
Just then they heard the barking of a pack of dogs in the distance. The
barking grew louder and louder - the dogs were coming in their direction! At once the
cat ran to the nearest tree and climbed into its branches, well out of reach of any dog.
'This is the trick I told you about, the only one I know,' said the cat. 'Which one of your
hundred tricks are you going to use?'
The fox sat silently under the tree, wondering which trick she should use.
Before she could make up her mind, the dogs arrived. They fell upon the fox and tore
her to pieces.

A Donkey and A Lapdog
Once upon a time there was a farmer who owned a little dog that he keeps
constantly by his side and a donkey, which lived in a warm stable and got plenty of fresh grain
and sweet hay. But, unfortunately the donkey was not satisfied with his condition.
"I slave all day long, hauling wood or pulling the cart to market while the dog sleeps
on the master's lap and eats from his plate!," the donkey grumbled. "Perhaps, he thought, if he
behaved like the dog, his master would reward him with the same life of ease.
That very night, the donkey crept out of the stable and into the house where the
farmer sat at supper. "First I'll frisk about and chase my tail, just as the dog does," thought the
donkey. And he danced about the room, flinging up his hooves until the table toppled over and
dishes went flying.“ Now I'll sit on his lap!" said the donkey, and he put his hooves up on the
master's chair.
"Help! Save me from this mad beast!" the terrified farmer bellowed. Then his
servants came running and, with shouts and blows, drove the donkey back to the stable.
"I suppose I' m a fine donkey, "the donkey lamented," but I' ll never be a lapdog!"
Moral of the Story- What's right for one may be wrong for another. So, never try to copy another
person in front of you.
