Once there was a dog. He was very hungry, and he got a piece of bone and the dog took the bone and ran away. There was a stream on his way.
When he was over the bridge of stream, he saw his own reflection in the water. He taught it was another dog with a piece of bone in his mouth. He opened his mouth to get that piece of bone.
As he opened his mouth, his own piece of bone fell into the water. In this way, he lost his own piece of bone. Finally, the dog became very sad.

LION AND THE MOUSE
A lion was asleep in the sun one day. A little mouse came out to play. The little mouse ran up the lion’s neck and slid down his back.
The lion caught him with a great big smack! “I’m going to eat you!” the lion roared, his mouth open wide. ‘ No, no, please don’t!’ the little mouse cried. ‘Be kind to me and one day I’ll help you.’
‘ I’m a lion!’ You’re a mouse! What can you do?’ The lion laughed, very hard, and the mouse ran away. But the mouse was out walking the very next day. He heard a big roar, and squeaked when he saw the king of the jungle tied to a tree. But the mouse had a plan to set him free. The mouse walked quickly and chewed through the rope.
The lion said, ‘Oh little mouse, I had no hope. You were right, little mouse - thank you, I’m free. You’re the best friend there ever could be!’
Moral: A kindness is never wasted.
