Literature: 5 Fables

The first fable is called The Wolf in Sheeps Clothes. It is about a wolf who tricked the lamb by leading the lamb away from the sheep and eating them. The maxim of this story is that looks can be deceiving. The second fable is The Four Oxen and the Lion. The moral is that there is power in numbers. When the four oxen were together, the lion couldn't eat them. But when they were seperated, they were less powerful and lion could eat them. Next, was The Fisher and the Little Fish. The maxim is even a little bit is good. The Crow and The Pitcher comes next. The moral of this is that nothing is impossible because the crow found a way to get water. The last fable is The Fox and the Goat. The moral is that don't trust everybody.

Literature: Wooden Bowls

The story of "Wooden Bowls" was very unique and therefore I liked it a lot. The moral of the story is that "you get back what you give." That is because at first the boys parents treat the old man without any respect and leave him alone in the corner. But when they realize that the boy was planning to do the same with them, their thought process completely changes because, they know that what they were doing would be given to them too some day by their child. This relates to C.A.R.E.S with empathy since the meaning of that is to put yourself into the other person's shoe, which is exactly what the parents did. In a way, I can also relate to this because I have seen this happen to some of the elders I know. But, in the end, similiar to the story, their kids have learned their lesson too.
