The Brave Little Bowman
Looks can be deceiving: A little bowman disguises himself as
a page in order to be a part of a king’s army.
The bowman recruited a large man and told him that they both could share
the pay that the king would give them; the small bowman will do the work while
the large man would be the face. The large man took credit for every act the
small bowman did, and was paid for them.
He soon became greedy, and was found out by all.
The Foolhardy Wolf
A starving wolf asked a lion for help. He, the wolf, would be his servant and look
for animals for the lion to kill. As
time passed, the wolf began to become larger and stronger from all of the killings
and wanted to take the place of the lion.
The lion agreed, but knew the wolf was not tactful, only full of pride.
The Stolen Plow
A town trader loses his son to a large bird, and a village
trader’s plow was eaten by mice.
Prince Wicked and the Grateful Animals
A prince by the name
of Wicked was ungrateful towards an old man who saved his life, but he promised
to make him wealthy once he became king. When Wicked became king, he denied the
old man of the promise and wanted him killed.
The old man told the townsmen of his act of kindness, and he soon became
the king of the land.
