The farmer was very angry and he chopped off the tail of the serpent. The serpent wants to revenge so it went and bit several cows of that the farmer owned. This caused the farmer to lose many cattle livestock.

The farmer decides that the best way to stop the serpent from doing any harm to him is to reconcile with it.

So the farmer brought food and honey to the house of the serpent which is a hole in the ground. The farmer says,” Please disregard that I chopped off your tail and forgive me. We both had taken revenge on each other. Now let us not fight anymore. Let us be friends.”

The serpent says, “No. I don’t want your food and honey. Let us part and go each other’s way because you will never forget that I kill your son and I will never forget you chopped off my tail.”

A wolf was eating the meat of his kill when a tiny bone stuck in its throat. The wolf couldn’t swallow any food and it feels uncomfortable in its throat.

The wolf began to groan loudly about it and seek to find someone who can help it to take away the bone.

The wolf says to everyone who passes by, “Please help me to remove the bone in my throat. I will give you anything as reward.”

No one dares to help the wolf because they are scared that the wolf might eat them up.

Finally a crane agreed to help the wolf. The crane told the wolf to lie down and open its mouth as big as it could.

The wolf listens to the crane. It lies down on the ground and open its jaw wide and big. Then the crane put its head into the mouth of the wolf and took the bone out from the wolf’s throat.

The wolf feels very happy. The wolf doesn’t feel any more discomfort in its throat and it can swallows food again.

The crane says, “Now give me the reward you promise.”

The wolf smiles wickedly and shows its teeth, “What do you want more? You should be happy that I didn’t snap you up when you put your head into my mouth. That should a reward enough for you.”

When the stag is not paying attention, the lion, fox, jackal and wolf all came upon the stag and attacked it. They killed the stag.

Now the lion, fox, jackal and wolf have to divide the share of good between themselves. The lion is the strongest so it stand in front of the stag’s carcass and announces: The first quarter of the stag’s meat is mine because I am the King of the Jungle; the second quarter of the stag’s meat is mine because I am the wisest arbiter here; the third quarter is also mine because I am the fastest when chasing after the staf; but the fourth quarter of the stag’s meat will be given to anyone here who would dare to fight against me over it.

The fox, jackal and wolf knew that they couldn’t beat against the lion and so they all went away with their tail between their legs.

You can share your labors with the great bully, but you will never reap the spoil.

One day, the big bad wolf is drinking water at the stream near the mountain. When the big bad wolf lifts its head up, it sees a fat lamb is also drinking water further down the stream where he is.

The big bad wolf felt hungry and it thought to himself, “Today I could eat the fat lamb for my supper. All I have to do is to tell the fat lamb an excuse so that I can catch it.”

The big bad wolf says to the fat lamb, “How dare you soil the water from which I am drinking?”

The fat lamb answered, “I couldn’t have soil the water that you are drinking because you are standing on the upper side of the stream from which the water is flowing down to me.”

The big bad wolf says, “Why did you talk bad thing about me last year?”

The fat lamb answered, “How can it be? I was born 6 months ago.”

The big bad wolf snarled, “I don’t care! If you didn’t slander me last year, then it must be your mother.”

With that excuse, the big bad wolf dashed upon the fat lamb and ate her up.
