5. A LIAR SHEPHERD
Once there was a liar shepherd who tended his sheep by the side of a deep forest. To enjoy him and to befool the people he shouted, “Tiger, tiger, please help me.” People would come running to help him. Then the shepherd would begin to laugh and say that he only played with them. Being disgusted the people would go back. -------. After a few days he made the same fun. The people of the village came again to help him but found no tiger there.
But one day a tiger really fell upon the sheep and began to kill his sheep. The shepherd became very afraid and cried, “Tiger! tiger! Help! Help! A tiger is in my sheep! Come and help me!” The villagers heard him but they thought it was his another fun. No one came to help him. The tiger feasted on the sheep and finally killed the shepherd. So, it is very unwise to make fun by telling lies.

He saw the fox and said, “I could not get any water. Is there water to drink?” -------. “Yes, there is much water here. You may come here.” said the fox. Then the goat asked the fox how he would go there. The fox suggested to him to jump. The goat did so. Then the cunning fox rode on the goat and got out of the well. While leaving the well, the fox said to the foolish goat, “Look before you leap.”
7. WHAT IS PLAY TO ONE CAUSES DEATH TO ANOTHER
There was a pond full of frogs. Some of them often put their heads out of the water and croaked loudly. One day some boys were playing by the side of the pond. When they hear the frogs croaking,----they began to throw stones at them. All the frogs at once went down into the water. But the boys remained standing there with stones in their hands. The new game was a great fun to them. They went on pelting the frogs with stones when they raised their heads above the water. Thus many frogs were hit hard and few were killed. At last an old frog raised its head and said,”Oh boys please! Please! Stop the cruel fun. Don’t throw stones at us.” “It is a play. We are enjoying it.” said the boys. “Why should we stop it?” “What is play to you causes death to us. This is why, you should stop It.” answered the frog. The boys were ashamed of this. They left the cruel game and went away.

Once there was a hare. She was very proud of her speed. One day she was going back to her house. A tortoise was also returning to his house. The tortoise was going without disturbing the hare. Suddenly the hare stopped the tortoise and said. ----- “You slow coach! I feel pity for your speed.” But the tortoise said with a smile. “Well, let’s run a race.” At this the hare was much amused. So she said. “Come along, let’s fix a date for the race,” They fixed a date. A fox came to see the race. The tortoise and the hare came to the starting point. The race began. The hare began to run very fast. She jumped and jumped. She ran a mile in a mile in a few minutes. Soon she found the tortoise far behind her. Then she stopped. She said to herself. “What’s the use of going so fast? Perhaps, the tortoise has gone only a few yards by this time. So, I can very well have a good sleep before he comes up” So saying, the hare went to sleep in a bush. (চলমান)
