Reading Notes: Aesop’s Fables- Birds 1

The Fox and the Crow- a fox saw a crow fly off with a piece of cheese in his beak and wanted to take it or himself. The fox complimented the bird on his looks and beautiful singing voice. He asked him to sing him a song. When the crow went to sing and opened his mouth the cheese fell to the fox below. "That was all I wanted. In exchange for your cheese I will give you a piece of advice for the future: Do not trust flatterers."
            The crow and the pitcher- a very thirsty crow came across a pitcher of water, with very little left in it. So little that he could not reach the water with his beak. The crow then started to put rocks in the pitcher one by one until at last the water seemed to rise and he was able to drink form the pitcher. Little by little does the trick
            The Tortoise and the birds- a tortoise one day really wanted to change his home up so he asked an eagle to carry him to find a new home. The eagle picked him up and carried him off. A crow flew up and suggested they eat him, they could smash his hard shell on the harder rocks below and so they did just that. Never soar aloft on an enemy's pinions.
            The jay and the Peacock- A jay flew into the peacocks yard and found a bunch of their feathers. He decided to try them on so he tied them to his tail. When the peacocks saw they plucked and peaked all the feathers off of him. Jay went home to the other jays who were also mad at him, "It is not only fine feathers that make fine birds."
