Stories highlight planning vs. action, the danger of flattery, the consequences of false alarms, and the need for honest thinking about outcomes. Each tale connects vivid animal behavior—lions, mice, cats, foxes, crows, and others—with clear lessons such as planning before danger, skepticism toward praise, and avoiding lies that cost trust and safety.","Literacy International: Animal Stories  \nCopyright © 2016 Literacy International [info@LiteracyInternational.net](info@LiteracyInternational.net)  \nEnglish Animal Stories  \nLiteracy International: Animal Stories  \nCopyright © Literacy International 2016 [info@LiteracyInternational.net](info@LiteracyInternational.net)  \nEnglish  \nCopyright © 2016, Literacy International  \n[http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/](http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/)  \nYou are free to make commercial use of this work.

He is a leader and he has no fear. Aesop saw that mice and sheep are not like kings. Sheep wander anywhere. They have no plans. Foxes think. They love to play tricks... Crows like to make noise. A cat can be quiet but he moves fast. Gnats and flies move even faster. Turtles move very slowly.  \nThousands of people have read Aesop’s stories. They are called Fables. Here are some of them. See what you think about what they say.  \n1. One day a fox was talking to a cat. They were in a dark forest with many plants and water holes. It was hard to walk there. It was easy to get lost.  \n“If a dog comes,” said the fox,“I know a hundred ways to get away.”  \n“Oh,” said the cat.“I know just one way, but it works.”  \nThe cat heard some dogs coming. He went up a tree tobe safe. The fox stayed down below. He was thinking all about his hundred ways of getting away. He could not choose the best one. While he was thinking, the dogs came and got him.  \nTHERE IS A TIME FOR PLANNING AND A TIME FOR ACTING.  \n2. A fox saw a crow. The crow had a fine piece of cheese in her mouth. The fox was hungry.  \n“Hello, Mrs. Crow,” he said.“You are a princess. Your feathers shine. Your eyes are bright. I think you can sing better than any bird here. Please let me hear you sing.”  \nThe crow opened her mouth. She gave her song to the world.“CAW CAW CAW.”  \nDown came the cheese, right into the mouth of the fox. It was a good afternoon for that fox. The crow did not sing any more that day.  \nBE CAREFUL WHEN SOMEONE TELLS YOU GOOD THINGS ABOUT YOURSELF. HE MAY WANT SOMETHING FROM YOU.  \n3. A small boy lived near a town. His father asked him to watch some sheep. The boy lay down under a tree.  \nIt was hot, but he didn’t go to sleep. He had watched sheep for his father many times. It was not interesting. He knew that he could make something interesting happen.“Wolf!” he yelled.  \nMany people lived in a town nearby. There were cooks, teachers, clerks and government people there. Some of them had farms. They didn’t like to waste time for nothing. But wolves could eat their sheep. They wanted to scare any wolves away.  \nThey came running. Then they saw only a little boy anda few sheep. The boy was laughing. He laughed for along time. The people did not laugh. They were angry. They went back to their work.  \nOn the second day, the boy cried “Wolf!” again. The people from the town came running again.“Where?”they asked.  \n“When he heard you coming,” the boy said,“he ran away.” Again, the people went back, but they talked to each other about what had happened.  \nThe third day was coming to an end. The lies also were coming to an end. The boy was with his father’s sheep. He suddenly saw evil eyes and a dark shape in the shade under the trees. The boy cried “Wolf!” again and again, but this time no one came to help him. The sheep tried to run away but the hungry wolf ate all he wanted.  \nDON'T TELL LIES. NO ONE WILL TUST YOU.  \n4.“Do not count your chickens before they hatch.”Many people have said that, all over the world.  \nBut one young girl didn’t know anything about it. She was carrying a bowl of milk on her head.“I have good milk here,” s","cbCailnvO8reeJry","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailnvO8reeJry","pdf",364150,23,"English","en",105,"# Fable Stories\n## The Fox and the Cat in the Dark Forest\n## The Fox and the Crow’s Cheese\n## The Boy Who Cried “Wolf!”\n## The Girl and the Chicks Before They Hatch","[{\"question\":\"Who wrote the animal stories in this collection?\",\"answer\":\"A young man named Aesop wrote about animals, and the stories are called fables.\"},{\"question\":\"What moral lesson appears in “The Fox and the Cat” story?\",\"answer\":\"It emphasizes the need for planning and also for acting at the right time, since delay can lead to capture.\"},{\"question\":\"What happens when the boy cries “Wolf!” more than once?\",\"answer\":\"People first come to help him, but after repeated false alarms, they stop responding, and on the last day the wolf eats the sheep.\"}]",1784293946,35,{"code":4,"msg":29,"data":30},"ok",{"site_id":23,"language":22,"slug":31,"title":13,"keywords":32,"description":14,"schema_data":33,"social_meta":85,"head_meta":87,"extra_data":89,"updated_unix":26},"literacy-international-animal-stories-english","",{"@graph":34,"@context":84},[35,52,67],{"@type":36,"itemListElement":37},"BreadcrumbList",[38,42,46,49],{"item":39,"name":40,"@type":41,"position":11},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":43,"name":44,"@type":41,"position":45},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":47,"name":12,"@type":41,"position":48},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/story-novel/",3,{"item":50,"name":13,"@type":41,"position":51},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/literacy-international-animal-stories-english/90475/",4,{"url":50,"name":13,"@type":53,"author":54,"headline":13,"publisher":56,"fileFormat":59,"inLanguage":22,"description":14,"dateModified":60,"datePublished":61,"encodingFormat":59,"isAccessibleForFree":62,"interactionStatistic":63},"DigitalDocument",{"name":9,"@type":55},"Person",{"url":39,"name":57,"@type":58},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-07-22","2026-07-17",true,{"@type":64,"interactionType":65,"userInteractionCount":11},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":66},"ViewAction",{"@type":68,"mainEntity":69},"FAQPage",[70,76,80],{"name":71,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":73},"Who wrote the animal stories in this collection?","Question",{"text":74,"@type":75},"A young man named Aesop wrote about animals, and the stories are called fables.","Answer",{"name":77,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":78},"What moral lesson appears in “The Fox and the Cat” story?",{"text":79,"@type":75},"It emphasizes the need for planning and also for acting at the right time, since delay can lead to capture.",{"name":81,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":82},"What happens when the boy cries “Wolf!” more than once?",{"text":83,"@type":75},"People first come to help him, but after repeated false alarms, they stop responding, and on the last day the wolf eats the sheep.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":50,"og:type":86,"og:title":13,"og:site_name":57,"og:description":14},"article",{"robots":88,"canonical":50},"index,follow",{"doc_id":7,"site_id":23},{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":91},[92,95,99,103,108,113,118,123,128,131,135],{"id":11,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":12,"show_sort_weight":93,"slug":94},90,"story-novel",{"id":45,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":96,"show_sort_weight":97,"slug":98},"Literature",80,"literature",{"id":51,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":100,"show_sort_weight":101,"slug":102},"Exam",70,"exam",{"id":104,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":105,"show_sort_weight":106,"slug":107},5,"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":109,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":110,"show_sort_weight":111,"slug":112},6,"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":114,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":115,"show_sort_weight":116,"slug":117},7,"Healthcare",40,"healthcare",{"id":119,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":120,"show_sort_weight":121,"slug":122},8,"Research & Report",30,"research-report",{"id":124,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":125,"show_sort_weight":126,"slug":127},9,"Religion & Spirituality",20,"religion-spirituality",{"id":126,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":129,"show_sort_weight":126,"slug":130},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":132,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":133,"show_sort_weight":132,"slug":134},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":136,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":137,"show_sort_weight":104,"slug":138},19,"General","general"]
