A
A wolf was almost dead with hunger. A housedog saw him, and asked, "Friend, your irregular life will
soon ruin you." "Why don't you work steadily as I do, and get your food regularly?' "I would have no
objection," said the wolf, "if I could only get a place." "I will help you," said the dog. "Come with me to my
master, and you shall share my work." So the wolf and the dog went to the town together. On the way the
wolf saw that there was no hair around the dog's neck. He felt quite surprised, and asked him why it was
like that? "Oh, it is nothing," said the dog. "Every night my master puts a collar around my neck and chains
me up. You will soon get used to it." "Is that the only reason?" said the wolf. "Then good-bye to you, my
friend. I would rather be free."

Two men were traveling together, when a bear suddenly met them on their path. One of them climbed
up quickly into a tree and hid himself in the branches. The other, seeing that he must be attacked, fell flat
on the ground, and when the bear came up and felt him with his nose, and smelt him all over, he held his
breath, and pretended to be dead as much as he could. The bear soon left him, for he will not touch a dead
body. When he disappeared, the other traveler slid down from the tree, and asked his friend what it was the
bear had whispered in his ear. "He gave me this advice," his companion replied. "Never travel with a friend
who deserts you at the approach of danger."
C
A prince had some monkeys trained to dance. Being naturally good at learning, they showed themselves
most excellent pupils, and in their rich clothes and masks, they danced as well as any of the courtiers. Their
performance was often repeated with great applause, till on one occasion a courtier, bent on trick, took from
his pocket a handful of nuts and threw them upon the stage. The monkeys at the sight of the nuts forgot their
dancing and became (as indeed they were) monkeys instead of actors. Pulling off their masks and tearing
their robes, they fought with one another for the nuts. The dancing show thus came to an end in the laughter
and jokes of the audience.
D
A cock was once walking up and down the farmyard among the hens when suddenly he noticed something
shinning in the grass. "Ho! ho!" said he, "that's for me," and soon rooted it out from beneath the grass. It
turned out to be but a pearl that by some chance had been lost in the yard. "You may be a treasure," sighed the
cock, "to man, but for me I would rather have a single corn."
E
Lion was awakened from sleep by a Mouse running over his face. Rising up in anger, he caught him and
was about to kill him, when the Mouse pitifully begged, saying:"If you would only spare my life, I would be
sure to repay your kindness." The Lion laughed and let him go. It happened shortly after this that the Lion was
caught by some hunters, who tied him by strong ropes to the ground. The Mouse, recognizing his roar, came
up, and bit the rope with his teeth, and setting him free, exclaimed:"You joked the idea of my ever being able
to help you, not expecting to receive from me any repayment of your favor. But now you know that it is
possible for even a Mouse to grand benefits on a Lion."
F
An old man on the point of death had his sons aside to give them some parting advice. He ordered his
servants to bring in a bunch of sticks, and said to his eldest son:"Break it." The son strained and strained, but
with all his efforts was unable to break the Bundle. The other sons also tried, but none of them was successful
"Untie it," said the father, "and each of you take a stick." When they had done so, he called out to them:"Now,
break," and each stick was easily broken.

When many people see birds cleaning their feathers, they attribute it to vanity on the part of the bird. But, in reality, what they are doing is maintaining their wings, the instruments that they depend on for safe flight. If a bird’s wings are not in perfect condition, the bird either won’t be able to fly or won’t be able to control its flight. That is why after a long flight and even throughout the day, you will see them cleaning their feathers.
Most birds, if they get a chance, will take a bath at least once a day. They do this to get rid of the dust that has accumulated in their feathers throughout their flight s during the day. In dry or desert areas, birds will not always be able to find water in which to bath, but they still need to clean their feathers. What many birds will do is to take dust baths. They will roll around in dust until it covers their feathers. They will stand up, shaking the dust out, and then clean their feathers with their beaks (鸟嘴) as usual.
Baths are important for another reason. During the course of the day and night, many parasites (寄生虫) are attracted to birds. Bugs, mites, fleas and so on will try to reach birds and suck from their blood. Daily baths help to keep the parasites to a minimum.
Some birds, especially those that spend a lot of time in or around water, have skin glands (皮肤腺) that produce oil. After bathing, these birds will squeeze the glands to spread the oil over their wings to keep them free of water.
If you are a bird lover and have bird houses in your yard, it can be good to go to the extra step, providing a bird bath. Once the birds in your neighborhood discover it, you will be surprised at how popular it becomes as they periodically stop by to take their daily bath.
