There once was a Countryman who possessed the most wonderful Goose you can imagine.
Every day when he visited the nest,
the Goose had laid a beautiful, glittering, golden egg!
The Countryman took the eggs to market
But it was not long before he grew impatient with the Goose.
because she gave him only a single golden egg each day.
He was not getting rich fast enough.
Then one day,after he had finished counting his money,
that he could get all the golden eggs at once
not a single golden egg did he find,
and his precious Goose was dead.!!!
Those who have plenty want more and more,
and they end up losing everything they have.
One day a hungry fox was searching for food.
He searched and searched everywhere,
but he could find nothing to eat!
Then he saw a crow,flying with a fine piece of cheese in her beak!
said the fox and he started following the crow.
The crow sat on a branch,and was about to eat the cheese,
when the fox shouted from below.
The crow was surprised, and looked down at the fox.
The cunning fox said to the crow
“How well you are looking today!”
“What exquisite beauty” exclaimed the fox!
“Please let me hear your voice,which I'm sure will surpass all the others"
“Then I will declare you the queen of birds”
The crow was truly delighted by the compliments,
even thought that her voice was beautiful!
But the moment she opened her mouth, the cheese fell down,
and it was snapped up by the fox!
you should never trust flatterers!
A long time ago, a rich old farmer,
who felt that he had not many more days to live,
called his sons to his bedside.
"heed what I have to say to you.
“Do not on any account sell the estate
that has belonged to our family for so many generations.
Somewhere on it is hidden a rich treasure.
Spare no energy and leave no spot unturned in your search."
and no sooner was he in his grave
than the sons set to work digging with all their might.
They turned up every foot of ground with their spades,
and going over with the whole farm two or three times.
they did not find any hidden gold.
So, they saw seeds of grain as they tolled hard on the farm.
when they had settled their accounts and had pocketed a rich profit
far greater than that of any of their neighbours,
they understood that the treasure their father had told them about
was the wealth of a bountiful crop,
One day,two men were travelling in company through a forest.
Suddenly, a huge Bear crashed out of the bush near them.
One of the men,thinking of his own safety, climbed the tree nearby!
He didn’t even try to help his friend who stood on the ground!
The other, unable to fight the savage beast alone,
threw himself on the ground and lay still,
He had heard that a Bear will not touch a dead body.
for the Bear sniffed at the man's head awhile,
and then, seeming to be satisfied that he was dead,
The Man in the tree climbed down.
"It looked just as if that Bear whispered in your ear," he said.
"He said," answered the other,
"that it was not at all wise to keep company with a fellow
who would desert his friend in a moment of danger."
that “Misfortune is the test of true friendship.”
