At the Seul Olympics, man invited white doves to act as “The Symbol of Peace in this World which is Round.” They all set out, except a few mothers who had to look after the little doves in their nests. They arrived in droves from the furthest away countries, all so very happy to represent…
A wolf and a fox were such very, very good friends, that even if those who observed them were skilled in the art of conversing, they could never properly convey how and why they were so fond and thought so highly of each other. The fox knew everything about the wolf, and the wolf knew…
Once upon a time there was an old wolf, who was so old that the few odd teeth that he had in his big deformed mouth wobbled so much that they were desperate to fall out. He was so old, that he could no longer tear sheep and lambs to pieces. He survived on the…
A fox and a wolf, both reduced to skeletons and tormented by hunger, decided to raid a hen house which was not far away, and was packed with red and white hens. They also knew that if the farmer caught them…he would kill! But as we know, hunger pays no attention to danger. Once they…
A long, long time ago there was once an enormous meadow covered in Lucerne and clover, where many horses and mules lived; but the poor mules were considered ugly by the horses. The mules were almost all identical, as if they had all been born to the same she-ass on the same day! Instead the…

Once upon a time there was famine in the wood, and a tortoise that couldn’t find food was weak with hunger. She decided to visit an old wolf that nobody could work out how, always had food supplies stashed away in a large hole in an old tree. She started out, and slowly, slowly she…
There was once a beautiful wood with perfumed trees and flowers all year round, lots of tiny little lakes full of geese, swans and ducklings. It was here that Menia the tortoise lived; she was small, and as she was old, she spent all her time in her den, looking for a dead worm in…
