He said to the tiger, “Don’t think you are the strongest animal in the forest. It is true that I am smaller than you, but people are less afraid of you than they are of me. I can prove it to you right now. Come with me to the road where the people pass by. I shall walk in front of you and you will see that they run away as soon as they see me. After that you can tear me to pieces.”
The tiger agreed and they went to the road.
Not long afterwards a group of travelers came along the road. As soon as they saw the Tiger walking behind the Fox they ran away terrified.

“You saved my life,” said the Ant. “I will never forget your kind deed.”
Soon afterwards a hunter came through the forest. He saw the Dove and said, “I’ll shoot that bird. She will taste very good in a hot stew.”
The little Ant heard the hunter. “Now I can help my friend the Dove,” he said to himself.

The Hedgehog’s Pot
Hedgehog went to town and bought a nice big pot.
“It’s a lovely big pot,” hedgehog thought. “I shall cook my dinner in it every day.”
Hedgehog was very pleased with his pot. He looked at it from every side and he felt it with his little paw. He was so pleased that he curled up into a ball and rolled round and round the pot.
Soon the animals in the forest heard about the Hedgehog’s pot.
One morning Badger came to visit the Hedgehog.
“I hear you went to town and bought a wonderful new pot,” said Badger.
“That’s right said Hedgehog, and he showed the pot to Badger.
“Ah!” said Badger, “not bad at all, not bad at all. But it has got a handle on each side.”
“Is that bad?” asked Hedgehog. He was quite worried.
“Very bad,” said Badger, “very bad indeed. I have never seen a pot with two handles.”
Of course Badger didn’t say that he had never seen a pot before at all.
Then Stork came to see Hedgehog.
“I hear you went to town and bought a wonderful new pot,” said Stork. “May I have a look?”
“Of course, you can,” said Hedgehog politely and went to fetch it.
Stork looked at it and tapped it with her beak.
“Pity,” she said, “pity there is no bell on it.”
“A bell on a pot?” Hedgehog was amazed.
“Don’t you understand?” said the Stork. “A bell that rings when the food boils. What’s the use of a pot without a bell?”
And Stork went on her way. Poor Hedgehog was quite miserable.
A little later Hare cane by.
“Can I look at your pot, too?” asked Hare. “Everybody in the forest is talking about it.”
Hedgehog put the pot down in front of Hare.
“Oh, well,” said Hare. He took the lid off. “That’s odd,” he said. “Your pot is empty.”
And he hopped off into the forest.
Poor Hedgehog was so upset that he burst into tears. When he stopped crying he decided to cook some apples to console himself. He put the apples in the pot and put the pot on the fire. Soon his apples were cooked.
He tasted them once, he tasted them twice. And then he laughed for joy. He had never tasted such delicious stewed apples.

Reynard the Fox and the Stork
One day Reynard the Fox invited the Stork for dinner. But he did not want to give her any dinner, really. He only wanted to laugh at his friend.
There was meat for dinner. The fox served it in small pieces on a plate. The Stork tried to pick up the pieces with her long beak, but she could only pick up one or two. The fox soon ate all the meat. Reynard asked his hungry friend, “Well, Stork, what do you think of the dinner? I liked the meat very much, and you?”
The Stark – a very polite bird – thanked the Fox for his dinner and said, “Come to my place tomorrow, and let us have dinner together.”
But she did not want to give the Fox any dinner, really. She wanted to teach him a lesson.
Now the Stork also decided to have meat for dinner. She served it in small pieces in a jar with a very long, thin neck. The fox tried to eat out of the jar, but he could not. The Stork picked all the meat out of the jar with her long beak and the Fox looked at the meat with hungry eyes.

Why the Hawk carries off Chickens
Once the Sun said to the Hawk, “I need some money. Please give me some. I shall give it back to you very soon.”
The Hawk gave money to the Sun. A week passed, a month passed, but the Sun did not give back the money. At last the Hawk decided to go to the Sun and ask for his money. He went to the Sun when he was high up in the sky.
“Do you remember that you must give me back my money?” he said to the Sun.
The Sun answered “Yes, I do, but I am in the sky now, and the money is at home. Please come when I am at home, and I shall give the money back”
“All right,” said the Hawk.
He decided to go next morning. But the next morning he was too late: the Sun was already in the sky. The Hawk went to the Sun’s house another time, and again the Sun was not at home. He went many times, but never found the Sun at home.
One day, on his way to the Sun, the Hawk met his friend, the Cock.
“Why do you go to the Sun every day?” the Cock asked. “I gave him some money a long time ago, and I cannot get it back. The Sun says that when he is in the sky, he cannot go home to get the money. And I can never find him at home.”
“I can help you,” the Cock said. “You stay the night with me, I always get up earlier than the Sun does. I shall wake you up very early. Then you can run very quickly to the Sun and get your money.”
So the Hawk stayed the night with the Cock. In the morning the Cock woke him: “Cock-a-doodle-doo! Get up, Hawk! Run to the Sun! He is at home now. He is not in the sky yet.”
The Hawk got up, thanked the Cock and went to the Sun. The Sun was at home. He was sleeping.
“Good morning, Sun!” the Hawk said. “It is time for you to get up. And I am here to get my money.”
“Good morning,” the Sun said. “Who told you to come to me so early?” The Hawk did not answer. “If you want to get your money, you must tell me, who told you to come to me so early.”
And then the Hawk said, “It was the Hawk.”
The Sun was very angry. He said, “Now all the Cock’s children will be yours.” And from that day the Hawk began to carry off chickens.
New words:
A Hawk – сокол, ястреб;
To carry off – похищать, воровать.

The Talkative Frog
Long, long ago there lived a frog in a pond with two ducks. They were very good friends. The Frog liked to talk very much, and she liked the Ducks, because she could talk with them.
So they lived there for a long time, and they were very happy.
But one summer it was very hot, so hot that the pond became dry. The two Ducks could not live there.
“Let’s fly to another pond,” said the Duck. They went to the Frog to say good-bye to her.
“Oh, I don’t want to live here alone!” cried the Frog. “Take me with you! I am afraid to stay here alone.”
“But you cannot fly,” said the Ducks. “How can we take you with us?”
“Take me with you! Take me with you!” cried the Frog. The Frog was so unhappy that at last the Ducks said, “All right, we’ll take you with us.”
Then they said, “You cannot fly, but we have an idea how to help you. We’ll take the ends of a big stick, and you must take the middle of the stick in your mouth. Then we’ll fly to another pond and carry you with us. But you must not talk. If you open your mouth, you are lost.”
“Oh, thank you very much, dear Ducks,” said the Frog. “Take me with you, I’ll not say a word.”
So the Ducks brought a big stick. Then they took the ends of the stick, and the Frog took the middle of the stick in her mouth, and the Ducks carried the Frog with them.
The Frog wanted to say, “How high we are!” But she thought, “I must not talk. If I open my mouth, I am lost.” So she did not say a word.
Then they came over a village, and the people looked up and saw them.
“Look at the Ducks! They are carrying a frog! How funny!” they cried.
And everyone ran out to look. The Frog wanted to say, “That’s not funny!” But she did not say a word.
Then people cried again, “How funny! Look at it! Look!”
The Frog got angry. She wanted to say. ”That’s not funny, you fools!” She opened her mouth – and fell to the ground. And that was the end of the frog.
New words:
Talkative – болтливый;
To fell to the ground – падать на землю.

The Ant and the Elephant
An Ant met an elephant near a river in the forest. The Elephant said, “Good morning, little thing.”
“Little thing!” cried the Ant. “I am very strong. I am the strongest of all.”
“I am the strongest animal in the forest, said the Elephant.
“Well, come here tomorrow at the same time and we shall fight. Then we shall see which of us is stronger,” answered the little Ant.
“How can I fight with you? I can’t see you in the grass!” cried the Elephant.
“We shall pull a rope. And you will see that I am stronger than you,” said the Ant.
The Ant went to the river and said to a crocodile who lived there, “I have a good dinner for you, Crocodile. Come here tomorrow at the same time. I shall have a big hare tied to a rope for you.”
“That’s very good of you, Ant,” said the Crocodile. “Thank you very much.”
The next morning the Ant met the Elephant. And the Ant gave the Elephant the end of a long rope. “Tie this end of the rope to your leg,” said the Ant, “and I shall tie the other end to my leg. Then I shall say “Ready!” and you must begin to pull. Then we shall see which of us is stronger.”
The Elephant tied one end of the rope to his leg and the Ant ran off with the other end to the Crocodile. He tied the rope to the Crocodile’s neck and said, “And now pull!” And to the Elephant he cried, “Ready!”
The Crocodile began to pull, and the Elephant began to pull too. They pulled and pulled. “How strong the Ant is!” thought the Elephant and hr pulled again.
“How strong the Hare is!” thought the Crocodile and pulled again.
And they pulled and pulled. But the clever little Ant only laughed at the silly Elephant and the Crocodile, and went home.

To see in the grass – видеть в траве;

A cat and her strong friends
Once there lived a cat. She thought, “The lion is the strongest of all the animals. It is good to have strong friends. I shall go to the Lion and make friends with him”
She did so and the Lion and the Cat were friends for many, many days. Once they went for a walk together and met an elephant. The Lion began to fight with the Elephant, and the Elephant killed him. The Cat was very sorry. “What shall I do?” she thought. “The Elephant was stronger than the Lion. I shall go to the Elephant and make friends with him.”
She did so, and they were friends for many, many days.
Once they went for a walk and met a hunter. The Hunter shot at the Elephant and killed him. The Cat was sorry but she thought, “The man is stronger than the Elephant, I see.”
So she went to the Hunter and asked, “May I go with you?” “All right, let us go home together,” he said.
They came to the Man’s home. His wife met him and took his gun from him. The Cat saw that and thought: “Oh, the woman is the strongest of all. She can take the Hunter’s gun from him, and he does not fight with her; he does not even say a word!”
The man sat down at the table, and the Woman went to the kitchen. The Cat went to the kitchen, too. She decided to stay with the Woman forever.
New words:
To kill – убивать;
To stay forever – остаться навсегда.
That’s why you always see a cat in the kitchen at a woman’s feet.

How Stork changed his diet
One fine morning Stork was thinking, “Why do I always eat frogs? All the other animals in the forest eat different things.”
“Listen, friend,” Stork called out to Squirrel. “Tell me what do you think: why should I always eat frogs when there are so many nice things to eat in the forest?”
“I don’t know,” said Squirrel. “Why don’t you try nuts?”
“Good idea,” said Stork, “I shall eat nuts.”
So Stork started to break nuts with his beak. That night he went to bed very pleased with himself. The nuts didn’t taste nice, but they were different.
So all was well. But that night Stork dreamt of a nice juicy frog.
Next morning Stork met Hare.
“Little Hare, give me some good advice. I’m sick of eating frogs. What shall I eat?”
“Cabbage,” said Hare, “it has very tasty leaves.”
“Of course,” said Stork. “Funny I never thought of that. I shall eat cabbage.”
He fetched a big round cabbage and pecked at it a little. And in the evening Stork vent to bed very pleased with himself.
The cabbage didn’t taste nice, but they were different.
So all was well. But that night Stork dreamt of three nice juicy frogs.
Next morning Stork met Bear.
“Listen Bear, why do I always have to eat frogs?”
“Because you are silly”, said Bear. “You should try honey. Then you’ll know what real food tasted like.”
So Stork went off to find a beehive. He poked his beak in it and ate some honey.
Now I’m as good as all the other folks in the forest,” he said, very pleased with himself. “I eat everything they eat.”
But that night Stork dreamt of a whole colony of nice juicy frogs.
And when he woke up in the morning, Stork flew straight to the pond and ate lots and lots of frogs.
“Ah,” said Stork, “nuts and cabbage and honey are all very well. But a juicy frog or two makes a nice change”
New words:
A squirrel – белка;
Honey – мед.
