He thought if he had the golden touch he would be the happiest man in the world. He always thought it and wanted gold. Even he prayed to gods to fulfill his desire. At last a wise god granted his prayer.

one day the king was walking in his apple garden. Suddenly, a ripe apple fell from the apple tree. He wanted to pick it up. No sooner had he touched it than the apple turned into gold. From the garden he came to his palace. When he entered his palace, his little daughter ran up to him. The king took her in his arms. Instantly she turned into gold.

Once upon a time there lived a wolf in a jungle near a marsh. Many cranes and other birds passed their days in the marsh. One day, while the wolf was eating meat, a piece of bone was stuck in his throat. It was a great danger for the wolf. He felt so pain that he could not speak. He went to many birds and animals for help but none helped him to remove the bone from his throat. Actually, all the animals and birds and animals of the jungle did not love the wolf for his rude behaviour.

At last, the wolf went to a crane staying in the marsh. He requested the crane to remove the bone from his throat. The crane agreed but demanded that the wolf would not disturb the weak birds and animals of the marsh in the jungle. The wolf promised to fulfill the demand. Then the crane pulled the bone out the wolf’s throat by his long beak. The wolf was relieved from his severe pain.

The wolf was about to leave the place. The crane said to him, “Please don’t break your promise.” The wolf replied, “Ha! ha! ha! You’re lucky that I did not eat up you when you pushed your dirty beak into my throat.” The crane uttered, “Black will take no other hue.”

After a few days, the dove was sitting on the branch of the same tree. A hunter came to hunt bird and aimed his arrow at the dove. The ant saw it and bit at the leg of the hunter. The hunter screamed for pain and missed his aim. The dove flew away to a far tree and saved his life.

Once there was a foolish crow in a village near a jungle. A clever fox also lived in the jungle. He often came out of the jungle and managed food for him. One day the crow stole a piece of meat from a butcher’s shop. It flew away with it and sat on a branch of a tree. The cunning fox saw it and came under the tree. He was very hungry that day. So, he felt greedy to eat the piece of meat.

The fox thought for a while of having the piece of meat. He then began to praise the crow. He said, “ you look very beautiful today.” He saw that the crow was not responding. Then, he said, “You can sing very sweetly. Could you please sing a song? I’m eager to hear a song from you?”

This time the crow became flattered. So, it began to sing loudly. But no sooner had it opened its lips to sing than the piece of meat fell into the ground from its beak. At once the fox took it and began to eat. After eating the piece of meat, he said, “O friend crow, never be flattered by praising”. The crow became shocked realizing its fault.

Once a hungry fox was searching for food in the forest. After a while he came to a vineyard. He was very tempted at the sight of the ripe grapes. The grapes were hanging very high.

But the bunches of the ripe grapes were too high for the fox to reach. The fox tried again and again, but failed each time. The poor fox became very tired as he repeatedly and ceaselessly jumped to reach the bunches of the ripe grapes. He took some rest and then tried his best again but in vain. At last, he could understand that there was no hope of getting the grapes. So he went away dejectedly and broken heartedly. He consoled himself by murmuring “The grapes are sour. So do not wish to eat them.”

Without the tail the fox looked strange.The fox made a plan and called a meeting of all foxes. He said, “Is there any necessity of our tails? Actually it has no use at all. Without my tail I feel so light and free. I can also run faster than before. So, cut off your ugly tails as I’ve done.”All the foxes listened to his speech attentively and agreed to cut their tails off. But an old wise fox understood the clever fox’s conspiracy and said, “Don’t accept his suggestion. The fact is that he fell into a trap and lost his tail. Now he looks ugly. So, he wants us all to look like him.”Thus all the foxes understood the clever fox’s trick. The fox without a tail failed to make other foxes fool. He ran away quickly to save his life.
