The Wolf in Sheep's Clothing

I think that the moral is to make sure that everything is in place before believing someone. The lamb thought that the wolf was a fellow sheep and in the end the fox killed him. If he had made sure that the wolf in the sheepskin was actually a sheep he might not have been killed. This is something I need to work on because as I said before I am very gullible.

The Four Oxen and the Lion

I think that the moral of the story is to stick together. If they had stuck together they wouldn't have died because the lion never bothered them when they were all together. Four heads are better than one.

The Fisher and the Little Fish

The fisherman only got one, small little fish, but he kept it knowing that if he threw it back he might not get anything. The moral of the story is, don't throw away something because it is small or useless, keep it because you might not get anything bigger or better. The fisherman might not have gotten another fish if he let the small one go so he kept it.

The Crow and the Pitcher

If you fail at first, try and try again. I believe that this the maxim of the story. The crow at first couldn't reach the water, but he innovated and came up with a brilliant idea to get the water. If he had given up at first, he would have been dead without water. It is only because that he tried again and came up a new idea did he finally succeed.

The Fox and the Goat

I think that the moral of the story is to not always trust anyone and everyone you meet because they might want to trick you and deceive you. This sheep resembles my character in a way. I always believe what people tell me and I get duped. We both will just have to learn from our mistakes... If the sheep had not trusted the fox then the sheep would be safe from harm.
