FOOLS LOSE EVER
Once
upon a time there lived two foolish cats. Once they found a cake, which is
round and hot. They started quarrelling for the cake. They failed to share it
equally. So they went to a monkey to get the matter settled.
The
monkey was very clever and it wished to have the cake by making the two cats
fool. It wanted to eat the whole cake. It intentionally divided the cake into
two unequal parts. It bit the larger piece. It became very small. Then it bit
the other piece saying that it was large. It happened many times.
The monkey
ate all the cake piece by piece. Nothing of the cake was left for the cats.
They became sad and went away disappointed.

THE WISE MOUSE
Long
ago in a large grey house there lived a small grey mouse. It was old but wise.

felt happy. It thought of a good plan to catch the mouse to make its dream come
true. It invited the mouse for dinner outside the house. The mouse accepted the
invitation of the cat.
