17、, he went out.but the servant knew what the rich man had said was untrue. after the rich man was away from his home, he enjoyed a nice meal. because he drank too much, he was drunk and fell to the ground. when the rich man came back, he couldnt find his food and his wine. he became very angry. he wo
18、ke theservant up. but the servant told his story very well. he said a cat had eaten up everything. he was afraid to be punished, so he drank the poison to kill himself.once upon a time, there was a wolf. the wolf was maimed . he couldnt out to eat.he was very hungry and thirsty. he saw a sheep.if yo
19、u bring me the water, he said, i will find to get some food. but the sheep said , if i bring you the water, then i will be your food. once upon a time, a mountain shaked .people came from far and near to see what would happen.a river will be appear. a people said .will soon have a dragon appear. ano

21、it to be only a picture, she flew towards it with a loud whir and unwittingly dashed against the signboard, jarring herself terribly. having broken her wings by the blow, she fell to the ground, and was caught by one of the bystanders.zeal should not outrun discretion. the raven and the swana raven
22、saw a swan and desired to secure for himself the same beautiful plumage. supposing that the swans splendid white color arose from his washing in the water in which he swam, the raven left the altars in theneighborhood where he picked up his living, and took up residence in the lakes and pools. but c

24、id no attention to the summons. at last the goatherd threw a stone, and breaking its horn, begged the goat not to tell his master. the goat replied, why, you silly fellow, the horn will speak though i be silent.do not attempt to hide things which cannot be hid. the miser the wolf and the lamb wolf,
25、meeting with a lamb astray from the fold, resolved not to lay violent hands on him, but to find some plea to justify to the lamb the wolfs right to eat him. he thus addressed him:sirrah, last year you grossly insulted me.indeed, bleated the lamb in a mournful tone of voice, i was not then born. then
