1. The Koala and the Kangaroo

On the first sunny day of summer, Lulu the grey and cute koala, and Bella the jumpy and brown kangaroo had a nice sip at the cool, blue river.

"Hey, Lulu. Do you want to go on a race?" asked Bella. "Okay," said Lulu with a certain feeling she would lose.

So they ran the race and of course, fast Bella won and Lulu was right for once.

About an hour later Bella shouted at the top of her voice, "Let's see who can touch the top of that tree first".

"Okay, but only if you don't cheat," said Lulu. "I promise," said Bella.

Because Lulu was so determined, she climbed to the top faster than Bella could run.

Lulu was so happy that she closed her eyes while she jumped down the tree saying "Yippy!"

2. The Sick Lion

A Lion, unable from old age and infirmities to provide himself with food by force, resolved to do so by artifice.

He returned to his den, and lying down there, pretended to be sick, taking care that his sickness should be publicly known.

The beasts expressed their sorrow and came one by one to his den, where the Lion devoured them.

After many of the beasts had thus disappeared, the Fox discovered the trick and presented himself to the Lion, stood on the outside of the cave, at a respectful distance, and asked him how he was.

"I am very middling," replied the Lion, "But why do you stand without? Pray to enter within to talk with me."

"No, thank you," said the Fox.

"I notice that there are many prints of feet entering your cave, but I see no trace of any returning."

3. The Hungry Mouse

A mouse was having a very bad time. She could find no food at all.

She looked here and there, but there was no food, and she grew very thin.

At last, the mouse found a basket, full of corn.

There was a small hole in the basket, and she crept in.

She could just get through the hole.

Then she began to eat the corn. Being very hungry, she ate a great deal and went on eating and eating.

She had grown very fat before she felt that she had had enough.

When the mouse tried to climb out of the basket, she could not.

She was too fat to pass through the hole.

"How shall I climb out?" said the mouse.

"Oh, how shall I climb out?" Just then a rat came along, and he heard the mouse.

"Mouse," said the rat, "if you want to climb out of the basket, you must wait till you had grown as thin as you were when you went in".
