A rich man had a slave. The man was very cruel to him. So the slave became sick of his cruel treatment. He decided to run away from his master.
He got a chance and ran away to a forest. There he hid himself in a cave. As he lay there thinking, he heard the groaning of the lion.
He was frightened. As the lion came near, he saw that he was limping. The lion approached the slave and held out his paw.
The slave saw that his paw was swollen and a thorn was stuck in it. The slave drew out the thorn very gently. The lion was relieved of pain and went away. Afterwards they became friends.
By chance the slave was arrested by his master's men. He was brought to his master who ordered his men to put him before a hungry lion. The day for punishment was fixed.
The people of the town were invited to see the wonderful fight. The lion was freed from the cage to pounce upon the slave when he recognized him.
He now advanced slowly towards him and began to lick his hands out of love. It was the same lion, his friend. The slave too, patted him.
It was a wonderful sight for the people. The lion was given to him as a reward. The slave was set free.
Moral:
Kindness is always rewarded.

Once there were two fast friends in a village. Their names were Raju and Ramu. One day both of them set out on a journey.
They-promised to help each other in trouble. Their way lay through a forest. As they were passing through a forest, they saw a big bear. The bear was coming towards them. They were much frightened to see such a deadly sight.
Ramu at once climbed up a nearby tree to save his life. He was unaware of his friend's safety. Raju did not know how to climb up a tree.
But he was wise and intelligent. He had heard that bears do not touch the dead. So he lay on the ground, held his breath and appeared to be dead. The bear came near him and sniffed the whole body of Raju. Thinking him dead, he went away.
When the bear had gone quite far Raju got on his feet. Ramu also came down the tree. He asked Raju to tell him what the bear had whispered in his ear. Raju said that the bear had advised him to beware of false friends like him.
Moral:
Beware of false friends or do not lose your wits.

Once a fox was very hungry as he could not get anything to eat for a long time. He strolled in search of food.
He wandered all along the jungle but his efforts were in vain. There was a garden near the forest. She went there in search of food.
There he saw bunches of fine, ripe grapes hanging from a vine. His mouth began to water. He wanted to eat them. So he jumped again and again, to reach them, but in vain. The grapes were hanging too high for him to get at them.
At last he gave up the attempt and went away saying, "the grapes are sour. If I eat them, they can harm me."
Moral:
Grapes are sour.
