The Snake was quickly revived by the warmth, and resuming its natural instincts, bit its benefactor, inflicting on him a mortal wound. "Oh," cried the Farmer with his last breath, "I am rightly served for pitying a scoundrel." The greatest kindness will not bind the ungrateful . 2、The Cock and the Pearl A cock was once strutting up and down the farmyard among the hens when suddenly he espied something shinning amid the straw. "Ho! ho!" quoth he, "that's for me," and soon rooted it out from beneath the straw. What did it turn out to be but a Pearl that by some chance had been lost in the yard? "You may be a treasure," quoth Master Cock, "to men that prize you, but for me I would rather have a single barley-corn than a peck of pearls." Precious things are for those that can prize them. 3、The horse and the ass A horse and an ass were traveling together. The horse was prancing along in its beautiful trappings, but the ass was carrying the heavy weight in its saddlebags. "I wish I were you," sighed the ass. "You have nothing to do, and wear such a beautiful harness." The next day there was a great battle. The horse was badly woundedin the final charge. The ass passed and saw the dying horse. "I was wrong," said the ass."Safety is much more important than beautiful clothes." 4、The cage bird and the batA bird was confined in a cage outside a window.She often sang at night when all other birds were asleep. One night a bat came. He asked the bird why she was silent by day and sang onlyat night. The bird answered, “Last year when I was singing in the daytime, a bird catcher heard my voice and caught me in his net.Since then I have never sung by day.” The bat replied, "But it is useless to do this now that you have become a prisoner." Then he flew away. 5、The wolf in sheep's clothing A wolf wanted to eat the sheep, but he was afraid of the vigilant shepherd and his dogs. One day the wolf found the skin of a sheep.
