Our parents often encourage us to take responsibility and be self-reliant. It is in this story that we learn how to take responsibility. The tale is describes a busy ant gathering food for the winter while a grasshopper plays and ends up hungry.
The Lion and the Rabbit
The message in this book is that being smart is more important than being strong. The story is about a lion who is eating all the forest animals, and when the rabbit’s turn to be eaten comes, he tricks the lion, and saves his life.

From this story I learned that being honest often comes with a reward. The story recounts a woodcutter who lost his ax, but refused to steal someone else’s ax.
