  3. The Fox and the Crow

    A crow high in a tree had some meat in her mouth.  The fox told her she was beautiful, and he would think she was even more beautiful if she could sing.  The crow opened her mouth to sing and dropped the meat, which the fox ate. Moral: beware of flattery.

    The Monkey and the Dolphin

    A sailor left Greece for a long sea voyage, and took a pet monkey with him. The ship wrecked and the sailor and monkey had to swim for their lives. A Dolphin saw the Monkey contending with the waves, and supposing him to be a man (whom he is always said to befriend), came and offered the monkey a ride on his back to the shore. The Dolphin asked the Monkey if he were an Athenian, and the monkey said he was descended from one of the most noble families Athens. The Dolphin asked if he knew the Piraeus, and the Monkey said that Piraeus was one of his best friends.  The Dolphin realized the monkey was lying because Piraeus was a port, not a person.  The dolphin drowned the monkey.  Moral:  Lying and boasting will get you in trouble.

    The Cat and the Mice

    A certain house was overrun with Mice.  A Cat, discovering this, made her way into it and began to catch and eat them one by one.  Fearing for their lives, the Mice kept themselves close in their holes.  The Cat was no longer able to get at them and perceived that she must tempt them forth by some device.  For this purpose she jumped upon a peg, and suspending herself from it, pretended to be dead.  One of the Mice, peeping stealthily out, saw her and said, "Ah, my good madam, even though you should turn into a meal-bag, we will not come near you."  Moral: He who is once fooled is twice careful.
