The Monkey and the Crocodile - The crocodile is not the brightest and tried to trick the monkey into getting into the water with him. The monkey outwits the crocodile by saying that his heart was left back in the tree. The crocodile again tried to trick the monkey into falling into a trap, but the monkey was smart yet again and jumped over the crocodile to get back to safety. After this the crocodile finally decided to leave the monkey alone. I thought this story was pretty comical and shows the innocence of the young crocodile.
How the Turtle Saved His Own Life - I think it is comical how these people could be so afraid of a turtle. By using his wits, he persuaded the men to throw him into the lake where he is most save in order to "kill him". He is one smart turtle.
The Turtle Who Couldn't Stop Talking - After being told not to talk during the flight and promising the geese, the turtle still talked. This broken promise of his is what led to his death. This shows that there are consequences for broken promises.
The Ox Who Won the Forfeit - When the man was mean and beating his ox the ox did not respond well and was hurt by his owner's actions. Better outcomes happen when people are kind to each other and live life full of peace and love.
The Quarrel of the Quails - When people work together the outcome is great! But when we start only looking after ourselves we can find ourselves in trouble. This story reminded me of the scene in Finding Nemo when the fish swam down in the next to escape.
The Foolish, Timid Rabbit - This is the same as the story about how the sky is falling. One person overreacts to something or is dramatic about an event it can affect all other people as well. This also shows how gullible everyone can be when new information comes about.
The Banyan Deer - This story shows the courage of the King of the Banyan Deer and how being courageous can save yourself and others. This can be seen in many movies like Harry Potter, Hunger Games, and even in real life like the story of St. Maximilian Kolbe.
The Princes and the Water-Sprite - This story shows that being wise can save many lives. He is kind hearted and cares deeply for his brothers, which in fact bring them back from the water-sprite.
The King's White Elephant - Helping others is very important and leads to great things in life. In this story the elephant became friends with the carpenters and later led his son to be helpful as well. Because of how nice the elephant was he was able to live out the rest of the days with his nice king that looked after him. Being helpful and caring for others can lead to great things.
The Ox Who Envied the Pig - Lavishing oneself with all the selfish things in life does not last long and will lead to an early death. The people who live life normally and give thanks for what they have will live a longer life full of content.
The Crab and the Crane - The crane was very clever in the beginning by tricking the fish into hopping into his mouth. But in the end after getting away with so much, the liar finally found his match and his punishment for lying for so long and hurting so many.
The Girl Monkey and the String of Pearls - The monkey had something great and would've been able to keep it if she wasn't jealous in having everyone talk her down. She wanted to show that she was better than everyone else and ended up having her gift be taken away because of it.
The Three Fishes - Everyone should think before they act, because if not we can get into a lot of trouble that we never want to be in.
The Tricky Wolf and the Rats - Liars can always be caught if we are brave enough and smart enough to question them. We must be courageous in order to save our lives and not let the liars bring us down.
