1、The Raven and the Swan
A raven saw a Swan and desired to secure for himself the same beautiful plumage.Supposing that the Swan's splendid white color arose from his washing in the water in which he swam,the Raven left the altars in the neighborhood where he picked up his living,and took up residence in the lakes and pools.But cleansing his feathers as often as he would,he could not change their color,while through want of food he perished.
Change of habit cannot alter Nature.
2、Fox and cock
There were many mice in a house.The man of the house got a cat.The cat killed many of the mice.
Then the oldest mouse said," All mice must come to my hole tonight,and we will think what we can do about this cat.’
All the mice came.Many mice spoke,but none knew what to do.At last a young mouse stood up and said,"We must put a bell on the cat.Then,when the cat comes near,we shall hear the bell and run away and hide.So the cat will not catch any more mice.’
Then the old mouse asked," Who will put the bell on the cat?"
No mouse answered.
He waited; but still no one answered.
At last he said,"It is not hard to say things; but it is harder to do them."
