The Big Leap
Two frogs fell into a deep pit, and though they tried very hard they could not hop out. Their comrades peered down from the top and croaked in sympathy.
「We feel for you,」 they shouted, 「 but there』s no way you can get out from there!」
On hearing this, one of the frogs lost heart, and died of fear. The other frog was deaf. He thought his comrades were shouting encouragement. Emboldened by their faith in him, he gathered up all his reserves of energy in one great jump that landed him out of the pit.
------------------------------------------------
Donkey who didn't help
A dog and a donkey were going to the market with their master. It was a very long walk across a mountainous path. At noon, the master ate the little food he had brought along, unloaded the donkey, and settled down under a tree for a nap. The donkey began to eat the grass growing there, but there was nothing for the dog to eat.
「There are some loaves among the load you were carrying,」 said the dog to the donkey. 「Let』s take one and share it between ourselves.」
「Wait till the master gets up!」 said the donkey, tersely. 「He』ll feed you then.」
Just then a ravenous wolf came into view.
「Help me, help me, dog!」 pleaded the donkey, quavering in fear.
「I』m so hungry I don』t have the strength to do anything,」 replied the dog. 「Wait till the master gets up. He』ll certainly help you.」
--------------------------------------------
The Boastful Crow
A flock of geese flew down to a beach where a solitary crow was hopping around. The crow watched them with disdain.
"How gracelessly you fly!" he said to the swans. "All you know is how to flap your wings. Can you glide? Can you somersault in the air? No, that's beyond you. Let's have a flying competition. I'll show you what flying really is!"
One of the swans, a young, sturdy male, took up the challenge, whereupon the crow flew up and began to display his flying prowess. He flew in circles, swooped down like an arrow, and performed a variety of acrobatics in the air. Then he flew down, cawing triumphantly.
Now it was the swan's turn. He launched himself into the air and began flying over the sea. The crow flew after him, making all sorts of derisive comments about his manner of flying. On and on they flew till finally the land was lost to sight. Water stretched endlessly on all sides. The crow's comments became less and less frequent and finally, stopped altogether. He had begun to tire. Eventually he became so tired that he found it hard to stay in the air. He had to struggle to keep from falling into the water.
The swan, pretending to be unaware of his plight, said, "Why do you keep touching the water, brother? Is that another flying manoeuvre?"
"No," squawked the crow, the fight completely gone out of him. "I'm in trouble... a curse on my boasting! If you do not come to my aid, I'll drown..."
The swan had pity on him and taking him on his shoulders flew back to the shore.
