Long long ago the animals had no tails or very small ones. One day the Lion asked all the animals to come to him to get good tails. It was cold that day and it was raining. The hare had only a short little tail but he did not like to go out and said to the other animals, “Please, bring me a tail. I can’t go anywhere when it rains.”
“What tail do you want to have?” the animals asked him.
“Oh, any tail will be good for me. But it must not be too long or too short.”
Some time later the animals came back and each animal had a beautiful tail. But nobody brought a tail for the hare.
I think that some of them forgot about the hare, some had no time, some could not find a good tail for the hare.
But I know this: if you must do something, don’t ask others to do it for you. Don’t forget about the hare with his short little tail!

Once upon a time there was a boy called Jack. He lived with his mother. They were very poor. All they had was a cow. One morning, Jack’s mother told Jack to take their cow to market and sell her. On the way, Jack met a man. He gave Jack some magic beans for the cow. Jack took the beans and went back home. When Jack’s mother saw the beans she was very angry. She threw the beans out of the window. The next morning, Jack looked out of the window. There was a giant beanstalk. He went outside and started to climb the beanstalk. He climbed up to the sky through the clouds. Jack saw a beautiful castle. He went inside. Jack heard a voice. ‘Fee, fi, fo, fum!’ Jack ran into a cupboard. An enormous giant came into the room and sat down. On the table there was a hen and a golden harp. ‘Lay!’ said the giant. The hen laid an egg. It was made of gold. ‘Sing!’ said the giant. The harp began to sing. Soon the giant was asleep. Jack jumped out of the cupboard. He took the hen and the harp. Suddenly, the harp sang, ‘Help, master!’ The giant woke up and shouted, ‘Fee, fi, fo, fum!’ Jack ran and started climbing down the beanstalk. The giant came down after him. Jack shouted, ‘Mother! Help!’ Jack’s mother took an axe and chopped down the beanstalk. The giant fell and crashed to the ground. Nobody ever saw him again. With the golden eggs and the magic harp, Jack and his mother lived happily ever after․

Paul was a very rich man, but he never spent any of his money. He was scared that someone would steal it. He pretended to be poor and wore dirty old clothes. People laughed at him, but he didn’t care. He only cared about his money. One day, he bought a big lump of gold. He hid it in a hole by a tree. Every night, he went to the hole to look at his treasure. He sat and he looked. ‘No one will ever find my gold!’ he said. But one night, a thief saw Paul looking at his gold. And when Paul went home, the thief picked up the lump of gold, slipped it into his bag and ran away! The next day, Paul went to look at his gold, but it wasn’t there. It had disappeared! Paul cried and cried! He cried so loud that a wise old man heard him. He came to help. Paul told him the sad tale of the stolen lump of gold. ‘Don’t worry,’ he said. ‘Get a big stone and put it in the hole by the tree.’ ‘What?’ said Paul. ‘Why?’ ‘What did you do with your lump of gold?’ ‘I sat and looked at it every day,’ said Paul. ‘Exactly,’ said the wise old man. ‘You can do exactly the same with a stone.’ Paul listened, thought for a moment and then said, ‘Yes, you’re right. I’ve been very silly. I don’t need a lump of gold to be happy!’

Once upon a time, there was a clever monkey. He lived on a beautiful island, in an apple tree. One day, a crocodile swam to the island. ‘I’m hungry,’ he said. So the monkey threw a red apple to the crocodile. The crocodile munched and munched. The next day, the crocodile came back. ‘Please, may I have two apples?’ he asked. He ate one and gave one to his wife. The crocodile went to see the monkey every day, to listen to his tales and eat his apples. He wanted to be clever, just like the monkey. The crocodile’s wife had an idea. ‘Why don’t you eat his heart? Then you’ll be clever, just like him!’ The next day, he said to the monkey, ‘Come to my house! We’ll have lunch together, to thank you for the apples.’ But when he arrived, the crocodile snapped and said, ‘Monkey! I want to eat your heart, so I can be as clever as you!’ The clever monkey thought quickly and said, ‘But… I haven’t got my heart here. It’s on the island, in the apple tree.’ They all went back to the island. ‘Wait here, and I will get my heart,’ said the monkey. The monkey quickly climbed the tree and sat at the top. ‘Oh, Crocodile. You are greedy. Of course you can’t have my heart. And now, you can’t have my apples!’ And the clever monkey laughed and laughed!
