the monster was even
bigger. The father puffed and burst!
The Monkey and
the Dolphin
A monkey fell from a ship
and was rescued by a
dolphin. The dolphin
asked if he lived nearby.
The monkey lied and said
that he did. Do you know Seriphos? asked the dolphin. The monkey,
thinking Seirphos was a
persons name, boasted that it was his best friend.
As Seriphos was a town,
the dolphin knew the
monkey was lying, so he
dived, leaving him to
swim to shore.
The Fox and the Old
Lion
An old lion sent out word
that he was ill and said
that he would like the
animals and birds to visit
him. Most went but fox
did not. Finally the lion
sent for him, asking why
he had not come to see
him. The clever fox
replied, I planned to, but I noticed that although
many tracks led into your
cave, none led out.
