    THE EAGLE AND THE KITE
    An Eagle sat high in the branches of a great Oak. She seemed very sad and drooping for an Eagle. A Kite saw her."Why do you look so woebegone?" asked the Kite."I want to get married," replied the Eagle, "and I can't find a mate who can provide for me as I should like.""Take me," said the Kite; "I am very strong, stronger even than you!""Do you really think you can provide for me?" asked the Eagle eagerly."Why, of course," replied the Kite. "That would be a very simple matter. I am so strong I can carry away an Ostrich in my talons as if it were a feather!"The Eagle accepted the Kite immediately. But after the wedding, when the Kite flew away to find something to eat for his bride, all he had when he returned, was a tiny Mouse."Is that the Ostrich you talked about?" said the Eagle in disgust."To win you I would have said and promised anything," replied the Kite.
    Everything is fair in love.

    THE FLIES AND THE HONEY

    A jar of honey was upset and the sticky sweetness flowed out on the table. The sweet smell of the honey soon brought a large number of Flies buzzing around. They did not wait for an invitation. No, indeed; they settled right down, feet and all, to gorge themselves. The Flies were quickly smeared from head to foot with honey. Their wings stuck together. They could not pull their feet out of the sticky mass. And so they died, giving their lives for the sake of a taste of sweetness.

    Be not greedy for a little passing pleasure. It may destroy you.

    THE MOTHER AND THE WOLF
    Early one morning a hungry Wolf was prowling around a cottage at the edge of a village, when he heard a child crying in the house. Then he heard the Mother's voice say:"Hush, child, hush! Stop your crying, or I will give you to the Wolf!"Surprised but delighted at the prospect of so delicious a meal, the Wolf settled down under an open window, expecting every moment to have the child handed out to him. But though the little one continued to fret, the Wolf waited all day in vain. Then, toward nightfall, he heard the Mother's voice again as she sat down near the window to sing and rock her baby to sleep."There, child, there! The Wolf shall not get you. No, no! Daddy is watching and Daddy will kill him if he should come near!"Just then the Father came within sight of the home, and the Wolf was barely able to save himself from the Dogs by a clever bit of running.

    Do not believe everything you hear.
