FABLE (REMED 4)

The Wind and the Sun
The Wind and the Sun were disputing which was the
stronger. Suddenly they saw a traveler coming down the
road, and the Sun said: ‘I see a way to decide our dispute.
Whichever of us can cause that traveler to take off his
cloak shall be regarded as the stronger. You begin.’ So the
Sun retired behind a cloud, and the Wind began to blow
as hard as it could upon the traveler. But the harder he
blew the more closely did the traveler wrap his cloak
round him, till at last the Wind had to give up in despair.
Then the Sun came out and shone in all his glory upon
the traveler, who soon found it too hot to walk with his
cloak on.

MORAL MESSAGE
Kindness effects more than severity.

FABLE ( REMED 3)

The Fox and the Goat
By an unlucky chance a Fox fell into a deep well from which
he could not get out. A Goat passed by shortly afterwards,
and asked the Fox what he was doing down there. ‘Oh, have
you not heard?’ said the Fox; ‘there is going to be a great
drought, so I jumped down here in order to be sure to have
water by me. Why don’t you come down too?’ The Goat
thought well of this advice, and jumped down into the well.
But the Fox immediately jumped on her back, and by putting
his foot on her long horns managed to jump up to the
edge of the well. ‘Good-bye, friend,’ said the Fox, ‘remember
next time.

MORAL MESSAGE
‘Never trust the advice of a man in difficulties.’

FABLE ( REMED 2 )

The Bald Man and the Fly
There once was a Bald Man who sat down after work on a
hot summer’s day. A Fly came up and kept buzzing about
his bald pate, stinging him from time to time. The Man
aimed a blow at his little enemy, but his palm came on his
head instead; and again the Fly tormented him. But this
time the Man was wiser, and said: “You will only injure
yourself if you take notice of despicable enemies.”

MORAL MESSAGE

You will only injure yourself if you take
notice of despicable enemies.

FABLE ( Remed 1)

The Hart and the Hunter

The Hart was once drinking from a pool and admiring the

noble figure he made there. “Ah,” said he, “where can you

see such noble horns as these, with such antlers! But I

wish I had legs more worthy to bear such a noble crown.

It’s a pity these legs are so slim and slight.” At that

moment a Hunter approached and sent an arrow whistling

after him. Away bounded the Hart, and soon, by the

aid of his nimble legs, was nearly out of sight of the

Hunter. But not noticing where he was going, the Hart

passed under some trees with branches growing low in

which his antlers got caught so that the Hunter had time

to catch up. “Alas! alas!” cried the entangled Hart. “We

often despise what is most useful to us.”

Moral Message
We often despise what is most useful to us.
