A Response to Some Fables

Fable 1: The Two Crabs: example is the best precept
  Two crabs walked on the beach, then the mother told her son to walk straighter, and the said to lead with example and he would follow.
Fable 2: The Dog and the Wolf: it is better to starve free than be a fat slave
    A wolf was starving, the dog offered him a job, and the wolf accepted but asked why his neck was chaffed. The dog told him about the chain, and the wolf left.
Fable 3:  The Camel and the Arab: do not ask obvious questions.
      The arab asked the camel wether he wanted to go high or low, and the camel asked "what about the level path?"
Fable 4: The Fox and the Grapes: it is easy to despise what you cannot get
    The fox was thirsty and wanted some grapes, but he could not attain them. He left, saying "they were probably sour anyways."
Fable 5:  The Lion and the Boar: those who strive are often watched by others who will take advantage of their defeat
  A lion and a boar were fighting over who would drink out of a watering hole first, but they stopped when they saw vultures watching.
Fable 6: The Wind and the Sun: kindness affects more than severity.
      The wind and sun fought over who was stronger. The wind blew and failed to get a guy to take off his cloak, and the sun blasted light, and the man took off his cloak.
Fable 7:  The Two Pots: the strong and the weak cannot keep company
     Two pots, one of brass and one of clay were washed into a river, and the clay one feared that the brass would hit and damage him.
Fable 8: The Theif and the House-Dog: he who offers bribes needs watching, for his intentions are not honest.
   A robber tried to bribe a dog with meat, but the dog then watched him more vigilantly.
Fable 9:  The Ant and the Grasshopper: it is best to prepare for days of necessity
     The Grasshopper told the ants to play, but the ants were preparing for winter. Then, in winter, the ants lived and teh grasshopper starved.
Fable 10:  The Two Frogs: do nothing without regard to the consequences.
    Two frogs searched for a new watering hole, and saw a well. But one said "but if it fails how will we get out of its depth?"

Goldilocks and the Three bears
    Goldilocks went into the forest and saw the bear's house. She peeped in to see what was inside and saw some pudding. She ate some of each, and one was too hot, one too cold, and one just right. Then she went about this for chairs, then finally beds. She fell asleep in baby bear's bed. Then the bears came back and she ran away. Then she was nice from that day on.

Little Red Riding Hood
     Little red riding hood was walking through the forest to deliver some treats to her grandmother. A wolf saw that and wanted to eat the girl. He then went to grandma's house and ate her and made himself look sort of like her. Then little red riding hood came in and observed all the differences in her "grandma" and the wolf then tried to eat her. Then a hunter came and shot the wolf, and everyone was okay (except grandma of course) and she went back home with her mother.
