A Wise Old Owl
There was an old owl that lived in an oak. Every day he saw incidents happening around him. Yesterday he saw a boy helping an old man to carry a heavy basket. Today he saw a girl shouting at her mother. The more he saw the less he spoke.
As he spoke less, he heard more. He heard people talking and telling stories. He heard a woman saying that an elephant jumped over a fence. He also heard a man saying that he had never made a mistake.
The old owl had seen and heard about what happened to people. Some became better and some became worse. But the old owl had become wiser each and every day.
The Two Frogs
Two frogs were paying on a rainy day. Slowly, they hopped and hopped and came into a house. There was a churn of milk. Both the frogs fell into the churn.
Both the frogs tried for some time but in vain. One of the frogs lost hope and said, “I can’t swim any more" and he drowned to the bottom. The other did not lose hope.
He kept on swimming. His movements churned the milk into butter. The frog climbed on to a pat of butter and hopped out of the churn.
