  The Lion and the Mouse

       
     Once there was a lion taking a rest. At this time a naughty little mouse began running up and down upon the lion. For this reason the lion woke up. The lion placed his huge paw upon him, and opened his big jaws to eat him. 

     The lion caught the mouse and holding him in his large claws. The lion growled in anger- “How dare you wake me up! Don't you know that I am King of the Beasts? Anyone who disturbs my rest deserves to die!"

    The scared mouse, shaking and trembling, begged the lion to let him go. “Please don't eat me Your Majesty! I did not mean to wake you, it was a mistake. I was only playing. Please let me go  and I promise to do something for you in return some of this day.I will be your friend forever. Who knows but one day I could save your life?” 

    The lion looked at the tiny mouse and laughed. “You save my life? What an absurd idea!” he said mockingly.

    The Dog and the Shadow

 There was dog lived in a village. It happened when the Dog had got a piece of meat and was carrying it home in his mouth to eat it in peace. Now on his way of home he had to cross a piece of wood lying across a running stream. When he crossed, he looked down and saw his own shadow reflected in the water underneath. Thinking it was another dog with another piece of meat, he made up his mind to have that also. So he made a snap at the shadow in the water, but as he opened his mouth the piece of meat fell out, dropped into the water and it was never seen more. 

The moral of the story:

Beware you can lose the thing what you get by grasping at the greediness.
