Aesop's Fables: The Bear and The Bees

A bear came across a log where swarm of bees had nested to make there honey. As the bear snooped around, a single little bee flew out of the log to protect the swarm. The bee knew that the bear would eat all the honey so the bee stung him on the nose and flew back into the log.

The bear flew into a angry rage. He swatted the log with his big claws, determined to destroy nest of bees. This only alerted the bees and quick as a wink, the whole entire swarm of bees flew out of the log and stung the bear from head to heel. The bear saved himself by diving in the nearest pond.

Moral of The Story: It is better to bear a single injury in silence then to bring about a thousand by reacting in anger

Aesop's Fables: The Wolf and the Crane

Once there lived a wolf who ravished his prey. He ate so fiercely and hungrily that he got a bone stuck in his throat causing to gasp and yell in grievous pain. A crane was passing by. She saw the wolf yelling such pain that he took pity on him. The wolf told her that the would get a reward if she removed the bone. She used her long, thin beak to reach down his throat to remove the bone. After she removed the bone she asked "What is my prize?" "Reward!" cried the wolf "You selfish, greedy bird!" "Why do  you deserve a reward?""You're lucky that I didn't chop your head off when you stuck in my mouth!"
