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．"
B
Two men were traveling together, when a bear suddenly met them on their path．One of them climbed up quickly into a tree and concealed 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 snout, and smelt him all over, he held his breath, and feigned the appearance of death as much as he could．The Bear soon left him, for it is said he will not touch a dead body．When he was quite gone, the other Traveler descended from the tree, and jocularly inquired of 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 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 mischief, 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 spectacle thus came to an end in the laughter and ridicule of the audience．
D
A cock was once strutting up and down the farmyard among the hens when suddenly he noticed something shining in the straw．"Ho!ho!" said he, "that's for me," and soon rooted it out from beneath the straw．It turned out to be a pearl that by some chance had been lost in the yard．“You may be a treasure,” signed the cock, “to man, but for me I would rather have a single barley-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 piteously entreated, 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 bound him by strong ropes to the ground．The Mouse, recognizing his roar, came up, and gnawed the rope with his teeth, and setting him free, exclaimed：“You ridiculed the idea of my ever being able to help you, not expecting to receive from me any repayment of your favour; but now you know that it is possible for even a Mouse to confer benefits on a Lion．”
F
An old man on the point of death summoned his sons around him 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 tried hard, 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．

About friendship
Section B
We often say, “A friend in need is a friend indeed．” But what is the exact meaning of friendship? No one can really offer a definite concept, because different people hold various views on friendship．
Everyone has his own friendship and some have a lot of friends．But in fact, quantity is not so important as quality．Loyalty is the most important for friendship．No one wants to make friends with those who will betray them．
No matter whether you are married or not, no matter where you live and work, your friends are your friends．It is not based on bloodline．It relies on your intention．To you, some friends are fun－loving, some give encouragement, some offer knowledge, and others help you to find your own identity．Before your friends, you may act as a supervisor, a learned brother, a lovely child, a gentleman or a playmate．In a word, friendship helps you to be a full person．So friendship can benefit．
