The Wise Birds and The Cat

Once upon a time there lived a large number of birds in an aviary. They were all very friendly and affectionate to each other.  Every morning  and evening they all sang songs together. The birds were well fed by its keeper. So they all looked pretty and fluffy. A wicked cat noticed these birds and its mouth often watered to have the birds as its prey. So it was expecting for an opportunity to enter into the aviary. Unluckily,  an infectious disease broke out in the aviary. As a result, most of the birds fell ill. The bird-keeper felt anxious and looked for a doctor. While he was inquiring about a doctor, the wicked cat overheard his talk.

The wicked cat started making plans to reach the aviary somehow or other. Thinking hard, the cat decided to gain entry into the aviary as a doctor in order to fulfill her wish. So the cat dressed herself as a doctor. Taking a number of medicines with her she approached the aviary keeper.

The aviary-keeper being busy at that time  asked the cat to do her duty as a doctor. Expecting this situation the cat entered the aviary door. With triumphal look she asked the birds, “How are you all, friends? I have come here to cure you. Here are the medicines for your treatment.” But all the birds understood that the cat had come in the disguise of a doctor. “We are quite Ok Mr. Cat and we don’t need any nursing from you. Please leave us alone” cried the birds. The cat was afraid that the aviary-keeper would come on hearing the cry of birds. So it ran away.

Moral : Wise peoples are taken seldom.

The Cows and The Dog

Once there lived some cows in a shed of the master. The cows used to eat hay from the manager. One day a herd of cows came to the manager to eat hay. They saw a dog lying on the hay in the manager.

One of the cows pleaded to the dog, “Please, will you get up! We are hungry. We have to eat our hay”. The dog didn't reply to her. It lies down the same it was. Once again another cow pleaded, “Please, let us have our hay”. The dog snarled and the cow stepped back.

A wise cow ran up to the bull and told him the matter. The bull came and requested, “Get out, from the manger ! Let them have their food”. There was no reply. The bull became angry. He bellowed loudly and stamped his legs. The dog got frightened and ran for his life.

Moral: It is no good to to be Dog in a manager, it is better for a watchman.

The Discontented Dog

Once a dog was relaxing in a garden when it saw a cat on the top of a high wall. It thought, " It must be so nice to be high above the ground. If only I could climb?” This feeling of envy made it so bad-tempered, that it didn’t even wag its tail at its master, who came to give him some milk. Then it saw a goldfish in the river and wished that it too could live in the cold water.Envy made it angry once again.

Just then it heard the fish say, ” It looks so nice and warm on the grass. I wish I could lie down on it.” After some time, a sparrow flew past. Seeing the dog lazing around, it said aloud, ” I wish I could play the whole day like this dog. I wish I didn’t have to build a nest for myself, search for food and tire my wings.”

Listening to them, the dog realized its folly for not appreciating what it had.
