16. Grapes Are Sour

Once upon a time a fox lived beside a vineyard. He saw the people eating grapes from the garden. He hoped to have it. One day he became very hungry. He had nothing to eat. He went to the garden in search of fruit. He was walking to and fro and looking for any fruit to eat. But he did not find any fruit or food.

He became upset. He became so hungry that he could not walk. At last he lay on the floor to take rest. While taking rest he was thinking deeply how he could manage food. After a while he looked upward and found some ripe grapes hanging from the vine. But the grapes were too high to reach.

The fox felt greedy to see the grapes. He wanted to eat some of them. He tried his best to climb up but failed. Then he jumped high to catch the grapes but this time he failed too. At last he became tired and disappointed. Finally, the fox condoled himself saying, “Grapes are sour”.

17. A Foolish Crow and a Cunning Fox

Once there was a foolish crow in a village near a jungle. A clever fox also lived in the jungle. He often came out of the jungle and managed food for him. One day the crow stole a piece of meat from a butcher’s shop. It flew away with it and sat on a branch of a tree. The cunning fox saw it and came under the tree. He was very hungry that day. So, he felt greedy to eat the piece of meat.

He thought for a while of having the piece of meat. He then began to praise the crow. He said, “My dear friend crow, you look very beautiful today.” He saw that the crow was not responding. The clever fox remained silent for some time. Then, he said to the crow, “You can sing very sweetly. Could you please sing a song? I’m eager to hear a song from you?”

This time the crow became flattered. So, it began to sing loudly. But no sooner had it opened its lips to sing than the piece of meat fell into the ground from its beak. At once the fox took it and began to eat. After eating the piece of meat, he said, “O friend crow, never be flattered by praising”. The crow became shocked realizing its fault.

18. An Ant and a Dove

Once upon a time there lived a dove in a jungle. One day he was sitting on the branch of a tree. The tree was on the bank of a small lake. Some ants also lived there. That very day the ants were searching food at the bank of the lake. Accidently, an ant fell into the lake water. The ant became helpless. He tried to reach the bank by swimming but failed. He was about to drown.

The dove saw the fact. His mind stirred to save the ant but how he could do that. Soon he found a way. He tore a large leaf from the tree and fell it on the lake water. The ant got the leaf and got on it. The air drove the leaf to the bank and the ant was saved. The ant became highly grateful to the dove and said, “My dear friend, thank you for your help. I promise to help you if I can”.

After a few days, the dove was sitting on the branch of the same tree. A hunter came to hunt bird and aimed his arrow at the dove. The ant saw it and came quickly to help his friend. Soon he bit at the leg of the hunter. The hunter screamed for pain and missed his aim. The dove flew away to a far tree and saved his life. Later, he thanked the ant for his help. They became good friends in the jungle.

19. An Ungrateful Wolf and a Deceived Crane

Once upon a time there lived a wolf in a jungle near a marsh. Many cranes and other birds passed their days in the marsh. One day, while the wolf was eating meat, a piece of bone was stuck in his throat. It was a great danger for the wolf. He felt so pain that he could not speak. He went to many birds and animals for help but none helped him to remove the bone from his throat. Actually, all the animals and birds and animals of the jungle did not love the wolf for his rude behaviour.

At last, he went to a crane staying in the marsh. He requested the crane to remove the bone from his throat. The crane agreed but demanded that the wolf would not disturb the weak birds and animals of the marsh in the jungle.

The wolf promised to fulfill the demand. Then the crane pulled the bone out the wolf’s throat by his long beak. The wolf was relieved from his severe pain. The wolf forgot his promise. He was about to leave the place. The crane said to him, “Please don’t break your promise.”

The wolf replied, “Ha! ha! ha! You’re lucky that I did not eat up you when you pushed your dirty beak into my throat.” Saying this wolf went away. The crane uttered, “How ungrateful the wolf is!” He also thought himself, “Black will take no other hue.”

At last a wise god granted his prayer.

But one day in the afternoon he was walking in his apple garden. Suddenly, a ripe apple fell from the apple tree. He wanted to pick it up. No sooner had he touched it than the apple turned into gold. From the garden he came to his palace. When he entered his palace, his little daughter ran up to him. The king took her in his arms.

Instantly she turned into gold. The king became upset and frightened. He now wanted to be free from the boon of the god. He prayed to the god for this. The wise god accepted his prayer and took the golden touch boon from him. The daughter of the king turned into normal being again. The king felt relief and realized that too much greediness destroys everything.
