NEWS FLASH - Aesop has arrived at Dreamland
The Wind and the
Sun
The Wind and the
Sun were disputing which
was stronger. Suddenly they saw a traveler coming
down the road, and
the Sun said, I see a way to decide our dispute.
Whichever of us can
cause that traveler to take off his cloak shall be
regarded as the
stronger. You begin.
So the Sun retired behind a cloud, and the Wind
began to blow as hard
as it could upon the traveler. But the harder he
blew, the more closely
did the traveler wrap his cloak around him till at
last the Wind had to
give up in despair. Then the Sun came out and
shone in all his glory
upon the traveler, who soon found it too hot to
walk with his cloak on.
Once there was a man whose
goose could lay a golden egg for him
every day. He grew very rich but then he
decided that one egg a day wasn't enough
so he cut her open from top to
bottom, so he could get to the goldmine, only to
learn that his goose was just like every other
goose and that by killing it for greed he lost
everything and was poor again forever.
Always remember children that it is better
to have a little something once a day than
to have lots
