THE TORTOISE AND THE HARE

A Hare mocked a Tortoise for his slow manner. The Tortoise promptly challenged her to a race. The Hare quickly agreed.

They began and soon the Hare left the Tortoise way behind. Midway through the race she became bored and began to snack on some leafy grass. The noon day sun was glaring in the sky and the Hare grew quite warm. Seeing she was far ahead, she foundy a shady spot and went to sleep, knowing she could always catch the Tortoise. Meanwhile he plugged along in his slow way, passing and then overtaking the sleeping Hare.

The Hare, having overslept, awoke from her nap and realized the Tortoise had passed her by. She took off at full speed, but run as fast as she would, she could not catch up. The Tortoise reached the finish line first and won.
Slow and steady wins the race.

The Wolf in Sheep's Clothing

A Wolf once found a Sheep's skin, and thinking he would have an easy way of getting his prey, wrapped himself in it and slipped into the sheepfold with the flock, intending to kill all he wanted during the night.

But soon after the Shepherd had made the door fast, he found he had nothing for supper, and going in with an ax to kill a sheep, he mistook the Wolf for one of them and killed him on the spot.

The wicked often fall into their own traps.

The Wolf and the Lamb

A Wolf was drinking at the head of a river when he saw a Lamb at a small distance downstream. Having decided to eat her, he needed to cause a quarrel.

"How dare you spoil my water?" he demanded.
"How can I spoil the water, since it goes from you to me, not me to you?" asked the Lamb.
"Never mind that," said the Wolf, "a year ago you called me many bad names!"
"A year ago I was not even born yet!" said the trembling lamb.
"Well," replied the Wolf, if it wasn't you, it was your father. It's no use trying to talk me out of my supper." and he grabbed upon the helpless Lamb and ate her.
