THE EAGLE AND THE JACKDAW
An Eagle, swooping down on powerful wings, seized a lamb in her talons and made off with it to her nest. A Jackdaw saw the deed, and
his silly head was filled with the idea that he was big and strong enough to do as the Eagle had done. So with much rustling of feathers
and a fierce air, he came down swiftly on the back of a large Ram. But when he tried to rise again he found that he could not get away, for his claws were tangled in the
wool. And so far was he from carrying away the Ram, that the Ram hardly noticed he was there.
The Shepherd saw the fluttering Jackdaw and at once guessed what had happened. Running up, he caught the bird and clipped its wings. That evening he gave the
Jackdaw to his children.
What a funny bird this is they said laughing, what do you call it, father? That is a Jackdaw, my children. But if you should ask him, he would say he is an
Eagle.

HERCULES AND THE WAGONER
A Farmer was driving his wagon along a miry country road after a heavy rain. The horses could hardly drag the load through the deep mud, and at last came to a
standstill when one of the wheels sank to the hub in a rut.
The farmer climbed down from his seat and stood beside the wagon looking at it but without making the least effort to get it out of the rut. All he did was to curse
his bad luck and call loudly on Hercules to come to his aid. Then, it is said, Hercules really did appear, saying:
Put your shoulder to the wheel, man, and urge on your horses. Do you think you can move the wagon by simply looking at it and whining about it? Hercules will not
help unless you make some effort to help yourself.
And when the farmer put his shoulder to the wheel and urged on the horses, the wagon moved very readily, and soon the Farmer was riding along in great content
and with a good lesson learned.

The Magic Candle
One day, a young wanderer got lost in a wood. Suddenly he saw a light from an old hut. He knocked on the door, and an old woman opened it. She
was crying. She said that the devil had stolen her magic candle. The candle
could grant anything she asked. The wanderer asked her where the devil lived. “In a castle not far from here,” said the old woman.
The wanderer went to the castle. There she found the devil, but he was old and weak. Therefore when the wanderer grabbed the magic candle from the
devil’s table and ran away, he couldn’t chase him. But the wanderer was not a kind man. He didn’t return the candle to the old
woman, but kept it for himself. He lit the candle and made a wish, “I want to go far away from here.” Suddenly the genies appeared and took him to a beautiful
palace. There was party in the palace. The wanderer wanted to make some money. So he lit the candle again and wished for some jewelry. He sold them
to the guests and was soon making a lot of money. Then the Princess came to buy the jewelry, but there was nothing left. The wanderer fell in love with her
and asked her to marry him. The kind princess said yes, and they got married the next day. In his happiness, the wanderer told the princess about his
adventure and the magic candle. Hearing that, the princess got very angry. At night she lit the candle and wished that the wanderer disappear.
In the morning the wanderer awoke and found himself back in his ugly house in the village.Adapted from Fun Plus 05
