The Golden Goose - In this story there was a goose who wanted to help out this mother in need. He was being very generous and the mother was grateful.

The Stupid Monkeys - The gardner should have taken responsibility for his job and not placed it into the monkeys hands The monkeys were only trying to help, but didn't have enough information and guidance to perform the job well. We must take the time to educate others.

The Woodpecker and the Lion - The woodpecker did a nice thing for the lion and was upset that the lion never said thank you. When asking the lion about it later, the lion said that keeping his mouth open was the thank you itself. Sometimes the thank yous in life are silent and only noticeable if we take the time to pay attention.
The Otters and the Wolf - The wolf helped the otters in their dispute but took advantage of them for it. The otters were so busy with fighting that they let the wolf leave with the best part of the fish.

When the king ordered for them to be shot, the monkey king strained his own body and saved his entire troop. The king noticed the monkey king's courageousness and decided that they will leave the monkeys in peace.
The Hawks and Their Friends - It is nice to have friends who will look after you in your time of need.

Beauty and the Brownie - Beauty was smart and listened to her father's instructions very carefully. This is why her herd came back with no one hurt.
