Mean while Fox was walking beside the tree saw the Cock's bright red comb and thought of a cunning plan to have the Cock for its dinner. Fox mouth had already started watering at that thought of some delicious cockerel pie.
Fox called Cock and said hey Cock Iam having a very exciting news.
The Cock was listening to the Fox without Opening her eyes. Cock not bothering to open his eyes, asked him what the exciting news was.
Fox was surprised and said I thought you haven't heard. It's really quite astounding! There was a meeting earlier today, between Foxes and Foul and they have decided on a peace agreement.From now on, we shall be friends, not a single creature shall be our enemy. So please come done and let us embrace.
Cock knew that it was a cunning plan of the Fox and Cock thought of a his own plan.
"That's wonderful news, Fox",said Cock, staring off into the distance, Look, the dogs are coming to celebrate too"
Fox suddenly felt very nervous.Fox started to move away saying I have some very important business to attend.
"But, Fox, "called Cock, "the Dogs at your friends too! "
But Fox didn't wait around to hear cock, he had already run off, into the distance.

Moral:It is easy to trick a trickster.

The Stag and His Reflection

The Stag and His Reflection. A stag, one day, was studying his reflection in the crystal clear water of the forest lake. He looked at his antlers and then he looked at his legs. He looked at his legs and then he looked at his antlers. The stag was not satisfied at all. " I have such beautiful antlers but I have such skinny, spindly legs. If only my legs were a little muscular! " While the stag was busy studying his reflection, he did not notice that a panther was creeping up behind him. Suddenly he heard a twig crack and knew straight away, that he was being stalked. Stag sprang into a sprint and nimbly dodged his way through the forest.

The Stork and the Fox

The Stork and the Fox. One morning, in the Great Forest, Fox was feeling very bored. He decided to play a trick on his neighbour, the stork. "Dear Stork, would you like to join me for a delicious meal at my house, tonight? " Fox asked eagerly. "Why, that's very kind of you, Fox. Of course, I shall come. " Later that evening, Fox laid out two shallow bowls of delicious smelling soup. He placed one bowl in front of Stork and invited her to begin her meal. Stork could only wet the tip of her beak, while she hungrily watched Fox as he lapped up his own soup with great enjoyment and ease. Stork did not say a word, although she was very unhappy at the trick.

The Monkey and the Crocodile

The Monkey and the Crocodile. Once upon a time there was a clever monkey who lived by the river Ganga. A crocodile and his wife lived in the same river. One day, the crocodile’s wife fell very ill. She wanted to eat something special. She asked her husband to get her a monkey’s heart. The crocodile did not know what to do. Then he thought of his neighbour, the monkey. He said, “Friend Monkey, why do you waste your time eating the fruits of this tree? There are juicy fruits on the other side of the river.” When the monkey said that the river was too big for him to cross, the crocodile offered to take him on his back. After a while, the crocodile sank in the water along with the monkey. He told the monkey that his wife was sick and wanted his heart. The monkey realised that he had been foolish to trust the crocodile. He quickly thought of a clever plan to escape. He said, “Alas friend! Our hearts are not inside us. We have to keep them hanging on trees. I wish you had told me earlier. L...
