The Wolf and The Shepherds

The wolf watched a farmer and his family eating lamb roast after the wolf had been chased away from the farm for trying to steal sheep. The wolf realized that while it would be condemned for killing a lamb, the farmer faced no criticism for the same action. An elephant searched for friends in the forest but was rejected by a monkey, rabbit, and frog because she was too big. When a tiger began attacking the other animals, the elephant scared the tiger away by kicking it. The other animals then accepted the elephant as their friend, realizing size does not determine who can be a good friend.

The Wolf And The Shepherds

This is one of the many Aesop’s fables that one can relate to in any day and age.

One day a wolf was chased away from a farm for trying to steal some of the sheep for food.
Later that week, the wolf came back to the farm hoping to find some food. He peeped inside the
house and found the farmer and his family feasting on lamb roast.

“Aha!”, he thought. “If I were to do the same thing that the farmer and his family are doing now,
I would be shunted and chased, or even killed for killing a weak, innocent lamb.”

Moral
We are quick to judge and condemn others for what they do, but see nothing wrong in doing so
ourselves.
Elephant And Friends

A lone elephant wandered the forest looking for friends. She came across a monkey and asked,
“Will you be my friend, monkey?” “You are too big and cannot swing on trees as I do. So I
cannot be your friend”, said the monkey.

The elephant then came across a rabbit and asked him if she could be his friend. “You are too big
to fit inside my burrow. You cannot be my friend”, replied the rabbit.

Then the elephant met a frog and asked if she could be her friend. The frog said “You are too big
and heavy. You cannot jump like me. I am sorry, but you cannot be my friend”.

The elephant asked a fox, and he got the same reply, that he was too big. The next day, all the
animals in the forest were running in fear. The elephant stopped a bear and asked what was
happening and was told that a tiger has been attacking all the animals.

The elephant wanted to save the other weak animals and went to the tiger and said “Please sir,
leave my friends alone. Do not eat them”. The tiger didn’t listen and asked the elephant to mind
her own business. Seeing no other way to solve the problem, the elephant kicked the tiger and
scared it away.

She then went back to the others and told them what happened. On hearing how the elephant
saved their lives, the animals agreed in unison, “You are just the right size to be our friend”.

Moral
Friends come in all shapes and sizes!
