                           The Tree and the Reeds

There once was a mighty tree, with a big thick trunk, high strong branches, and roots that reached deep into the ground. All around the oak were hundreds of thin reeds.

"You reeds are all so puny," said the tree. "I'm stronger than the whole lot of you put together."

"Don't be so sure," answered the reeds. "Don't be so sure."

Just then, a fierce wind whipped up. It rattled the oak's branches and blew off its leaves. But the tree stood straight and proud against the wind. The wind grew fiercer still, and the mighty tree began to creak and groan. All at once there was terrible sound of splitting wood.

"Timber!" boomed the tree and fell down among the reeds.

"You see, Mr. Tree," murmured one of the reeds. "You fight against the wind, so it knocks you down. But we reeds bow to even the gentlest breeze only to stand up straight again. Here we are, still standing. So I ask you, Mr. Tree, which of us is truly stronger?"

Once upon a time, there lived an unhappy young girl. Unhappy she was, for her mother waa dead, her father had married another woman, a widow with two daughters, and her stepmother didn't like her one little bit. Unhappy Cinderella all the nice things, kind thoughts and loving touches were for her own daughters. And not just the kind thoughts and love, but also dresses, shoes, shawls, delicious food, comfy beds, as well as every home comfort. All this was laid on for her daughters. But, for the poor unhappy girl, there was nothing at all. No dresses, only her stepsisters' hand-me-downs. No lovely dishes, nothing but scraps. No nice rests and comfort. For she had to work hard all day, and only when evening came was she allowed to sit for a while by the fire, near the cinders. That is how she got her nickname, for everybody called her "Cinderella". Cinderella used to spend long hours all alone talking to the cat. The cat said, "Miaoww", which really meant...

 The Boy Who Cried Wolf There was once a young shepherd boy who tended his sheep at the foot of a mountain near a dark forest. 1 It was lonely for him watching the sheep all day. No one was near, except for three farmers he could sometimes see working in the fi elds in the valley below. One day the boy thought of a plan that would help him get a little company and have some fun. 3 He ran down toward the valley crying, “Wolf! Wolf!” The men ran to meet him, and after they found out there was no wolf after all, one man remained to talk with the boy awhile. The boy enjoyed the company so much that a few days later he tried the same prank again, and again the men ran to help him. A few days later, a real wolf came from the forest and began to steal the sheep. The startled 6 boy ran toward the valley, and more loudly than ever he cried, “Wolf! Wolf!” But the men, who had been fooled twice before, thought that the boy was tricking them again. So no one came to help the boy sa...

Thumbelina Once upon a time, there was a kind woman who had no children, longed for a baby and would often say, “How I would love to have a baby girl, even a tiny little one." A beautiful fairy heard her wish one day, and gave her a little seed to plant in a flowerpot. When the seed bloomed into a tulip, the woman saw a tiny, beautiful girl inside, no bigger than her thumb. She decided to call her Thumbelina. She was so small that she had a walnut shell for a bed and used petals as a blanket. Then, an ugly toad fell in love with Thumbelina. One night when she was sleeping, he carried her off to his lily pad in a pond. Thumbelina was very unhappy. A swallow was passing by and saw how sad she looked, and said, “Come south with me to warmer lands." Young Thumbelina flew away on the swallow’s back. They flew across the seas and came to a land of sunshine. The swallow said, " This is my home. You can live in one of the loveliest and biggest flowers." When Thumbeli...
