7INTRODUCTION“Tut, tut, child” said the Duc hess.“Everything’s got a moral, if only you can find it.”—Lewis Carroll, Alice’s Adventures in WonderlandA fable is a very short story that tells us how to behave orthat teaches us a lesson. Usually, but not always, fablesare stories about animals that talk like people. The lessonthat a fable teaches us is called a moral. It’s not hard tofind the morals in the fables in this book. They are writtenin italics (slanted letters) at the bottom of the fables.Aesop is believed to have been a Greek slave who madeup these stories to make his life easier. Nobody is reallysure if Aesop made up these fables. What is certain,however, is that the stories called Aesop’s Fables are so
8wonderful that they have been told over and over againfor thousands of years.Many common sayings come from Aesop’s Fables:“Don’t count your chickens before they hatch,” and“Honesty is the best policy,” and“Look before you leap”are familiar examples.Whether a Greek slave named Aesop made up thesestories or whether many people living at different timesmade up the stories is not important. What’s important isthat the stories have survived and are worth re-telling.Adobe Systems is proud to present them in the newestform of story-telling: the Acrobat electronic book.

13æsop’s fables
14The Wolf and the LambOnce upon a time a Wolf was lapping at a spring on ahillside when, looking up, what should he see but a Lambjust beginning to drink a little lower down. “There’s mysupper,” thought he, “if only I can find some excuse toseize it.” Then he called out to the Lamb, “How dare youmuddle the water from which I am drinking.” “Nay,master, nay,” said Lambikin; “if the water be muddy upthere, I cannot be the cause of it, for it runs down fromyou to me.” “Well, then,” said the Wolf, “why did you callme bad names this time last year?” “That cannot be,” saidthe Lamb; “I am only six months old.” “I don’t care,”snarled the Wolf, “if it was not you it was your father”;and with that he rushed upon the poor little Lamb.Any excuse will serve a tyrant.?
15The Dog and the ShadowIt happened that a Dog had got a piece of meat and wascarrying it home in his mouth to eat it in peace. Now onhis way home he had to cross a plank lying across a running brook. As he crossed, he looked down and saw hisown shadow reflected in the water beneath. Thinking itwas another dog with another piece of meat, he made uphis mind to have that also. So he made a snap at theshadow in the water, but as he opened his mouth thepiece of meat fell out, dropped into the water, and wasnever seen again.Beware lest you lose the substanceby grasping at the shadow.?
16The Lion’s ShareThe Lion once went hunting with the Fox, the Jackal, andthe Wolf. They hunted and they hunted till at last theysurprised a Stag, and soon took its life. Then came thequestion how the spoil should be divided. “Quarter methis Stag,” roared the Lion; so the other animals skinnedit and cut it into four parts. Then the Lion took his standin front of the carcass and pronounced judgment: “Thefirst quarter is for me in my capacity as King of Beasts; thesecond is mine as arbiter; another share comes to me formy part in the chase; and as for the fourth quarter, well,as for that, I should like to see which of you will dare tocontinued . . .
17lay a paw upon it.” “Humph,” grumbled the Fox as hewalked away with his tail between his legs; but he spokein a low growl:You may share the labors of the great,but you will not share the rewards.?
18The Wolf and the CraneA Wolf had been gorging on an animal he had killed,when suddenly a small bone in the meat stuck in histhroat and he could not swallow it. He soon felt terriblepain in his throat, and ran up and down groaning andgroaning and seeking for something to relieve the pain.He tried to induce every one he met to remove the bone.“I would give anything,” said he, “if you would take itout.” At last the Crane agreed to try, and told the Wolf tolie on his side and open his jaws as wide as he could. Thenthe Crane put its long neck down the Wolf’s throat, andwith its beak loosened the bone, till at last it got it out.“Will you kindly give me the reward you promised?” saidthe Crane. The Wolf grinned and showed his teeth andcontinued . . .
19said: “Be content. You have put your head inside a Wolf’smouth and taken it out again in safety; that ought to bereward enough for you.”Gratitude and greed go not together?
20The Man and the SerpentA Countryman’s son by accident trod upon a Serpent’stail, which turned and bit him so that he died. The fatherin a rage got his axe, and pursuing the Serpent, cut off partof its tail. So the Serpent in revenge began stinging severalof the Farmer’s cattle and caused him severe loss. Well,the Farmer thought it best to make it up with the Serpent,and brought food and honey to the mouth of its lair, andsaid to it: “Let’s forget and forgive. Perhaps you were rightto punish my son, and take vengeance on my cattle, butsurely I was right in trying to revenge him. Now that weare both satisfied why can’t we be friends again?” “No,no,” said the Serpent, “take away your gifts. You can neverforget the death of your son, nor I the loss of my tail.”?Injuries may be forgiven, but notforgotten.
21The Town Mouse andthe Country MouseNow you must know that a Town Mouse once upon atime went on a visit to his cousin in the country. He wasrough and ready, this cousin, but he loved his town friendand made him heartily welcome. Beans and bacon, cheeseand bread, were all he had to offer, but he offered themfreely. The Town Mouse rather turned up his long nose atthis country fare, and said: “I cannot understand, Cousin,how you can put up with such poor food as this, but ofcourse you cannot expect anything better in the country.Come home with me and I’ll show you how to live. Whenyou have been in town a week you will wonder how youcould ever have stood a country life.” No sooner said thandone: the two mice set off for the town and arrived at thecontinued . . .
22Town Mouse’s residence late at night. “You will wantsome refreshment after our long journey,” said the politeTown Mouse, and took his friend into the grand diningroom. There they found the remains of a fine feast, andsoon the two mice were eating up jellies and cakes and allthat was nice. Suddenly they heard growling and barking.“What is that?” asked the Country Mouse. “It is only thedogs of the house,” answered the other. “Only!” said theCountry Mouse. “I do not like that music at my dinner.”Just at that moment the door flew open, and in came twohuge dogs, and the two mice had to scamper down andrun off. “Good-bye, Cousin,” said the Country Mouse.“What! Going so soon?” asked the other. “Yes,” hereplied. “Better beans and bacon in peace than cakes andale in fear.”?Better beans and bacon in peacethan cakes and ale in fear.
23The Fox and the CrowA Fox once saw a Crow fly off with a piece of cheese in itsbeak and settle on a branch of a tree. “That’s for me,” saidthe Fox, and he walked up to the foot of the tree. “Goodday, Mistress Crow,” he cried. “How well you are lookingtoday: how glossy your feathers; how bright your eyes. Ifeel sure your voice must surpass that of other birds, justas your figure does. Let me hear but one song from youthat I may greet you as the Queen of Birds.” The Crowlifted up her head and began to caw her best, but themoment she opened her mouth the piece of cheese fell tothe ground, only to be snapped up by the Fox. “That willdo,” said he. “That was all I wanted. In exchange for yourcheese I will give you a piece of advice for the future:Do not trust flatterers.?
24The Sick LionA Lion had come to the end of his days and lay sick untodeath at the mouth of his cave, gasping for breath. Theanimals, his subjects, came round him and drew nearer ashe grew more and more helpless. When they saw him onthe point of death they thought to themselves: “Now isthe time to pay off old grudges.” So the Boar came up anddrove at him with his tusks. Then a Bull gored him withhis horns. Still the Lion lay helpless before them, so theAss, feeling quite safe from danger, came up, and turninghis tail to the Lion kicked up his heels into the Lion. “Thisis a double death,” growled the Lion.Only cowards insult dying majesty.?
25The Ass and the LapdogA Farmer one day came to the stables to see to his beastsof burden; among them was his favorite Ass. Along withthe Farmer came his Lapdog, who danced about andlicked his hand and frisked about as happy as could be.The Farmer felt in his pocket, gave the Lapdog somedainty food, and sat down while he gave his orders to hissons. The Lapdog jumped into his master’s lap and laythere blinking while the Farmer stroked his ears. The Ass,seeing this, broke loose from his halter and commencedprancing about in imitation of the Lapdog. The Farmercould not hold his sides with laughter, so the Ass went upto him, and putting his feet upon the Farmer’s shouldercontinued . . .
26attempted to climb into his lap. The Farmer’s sons rushedup with sticks and pitchforks and soon taught the Ass thatclumsy jesting is no joke.Clumsy jesting is no joke.?
27The Lion and the MouseOnce, when a Lion was asleep, a little Mouse began running up and down upon him. This soon wakened theLion, who placed his huge paw upon him, and opened hisbig jaws to swallow him. “Pardon, O King,” cried the littleMouse, “forgive me this time, I shall never forget it! I maybe able to return the favor one of these day?” The Lionwas so tickled at the idea of the Mouse being able to helphim that he lifted up his paw and let him go. Some timeafter, the Lion was caught in a trap, and the hunters, whodesired to carry him alive to the King, tied him to a treewhile they went in search of a wagon to carry him on. Justthen the little Mouse happened to pass by, and seeing thecontinued . . .
28sad plight of the Lion, went up to him and soon gnawedaway the ropes that bound the King of the Beasts. “Was Inot right?” said the little Mouse.Little friends may prove great friends.?
29The Swallow andthe Other BirdsIt happened that a Countryman was sowing some hempseeds in a field where a Swallow and some other birds werehopping about picking up their food. “Beware of thatman,” observed the Swallow. “Why, what is he doing?”asked the others. “That is hemp seed he is sowing; be careful to pick up every one of the seeds, or else you will repentit.” The birds paid no heed to the Swallow’s words, and byand by the hemp grew up and was made into cord, and ofthe cords nets were made, and many a bird that hadignored the Swallow’s advice was caught in nets made outof that very hemp. “What did I tell you?” said the Swallow.Destroy the seed of evil,or it will grow up to be your ruin.?
30The Frogs Desiring a KingThe Frogs were living as happy as could be in a marshyswamp that just suited them. They went splashing about,caring for nobody and nobody troubled them. But someof the frogs thought that this was not right, that theyshould have a king and a proper constitution, so they sentup a petition to Zeus to give them what they wanted.“Mighty Zeus,” they cried, “send unto us a king that willrule over us and keep us in order.” Zeus laughed at theircroaking and threw down into the swamp a huge Log. TheFrogs were frightened out of their lives by the commotionmade in their midst, and all rushed to the bank to look atthe horrible monster. But after a time, seeing that it didnot move, one or two of the boldest of them ventured outtowards the Log, and even dared to touch it. Still it did notcontinued . . .
31move. Then the greatest hero of the Frogs jumped uponthe Log and commenced dancing up and down upon it;thereupon all the Frogs came and did the same, and forsome time the Frogs went about their business every daywithout taking the slightest notice of their new King Loglying in their midst. But this did not suit them, so theysent another petition to Zeus, and said to him, “We wanta real king; one that will really rule over us.” Now thismade Zeus angry, so he sent them a big Stork that soon setto work gobbling them all up. Then the Frogs repented,but it was too late.Better no rule than cruel rule.?
