A cock and a dog go on a journey together. At night, the cock roosts in a tree while the dog curls up at its roots. When the cock crowed in the morning, it attracted a fox that made friendly overtures and tried to lure the bird down. The cock agrees, telling it to ask the porter to open the door so that it can come out. The fox stumbles on the sleeping dog and is killed.

A farmer's boy went into his field. There were some sheep and a pig there. He picked up the pig that squealed aloud.

"Why are you making a fuss? When he catches us, we never cry." said a sheep.

"Shut up, cried the pig, "the shepherd wants only wool from you. But this boy is taking me away for my meat."

A certain man who visited foreign lands could talk of little when he returned to his home except the wonderful adventures he had met with and the great deeds he had done abroad. One of the feats he told about was a leap he had made in a city Called Rhodes.

A Fox having tumbled, by chance, into a well, had been casting about a long while, to no purpose, how he should get out again; when, at last, a Goat came to the place, and wanting, to drink, asked Reynard, Whether the water was good! Good! says he; ay, so sweet, that I am afraid I have surfeited myself, I have drunk so abundantly. The Goat, upon this, without any more ado, leapt in; and the Fox, taking the advantage of his horns, by the assistance of them, as nimbly leapt out, leaving the poor Goat at the bottom of the well, to shift for himself.

A lion and a bear simultaneously attack a fawn and fight over it until they collapse from fatigue. Then a fox that has been watching them snatches their prey and makes off with it.

A Bear was so enrag'd once at the Stinging of a Bee, that he ran like mad into the Bee-Garden,and over-turn'd all the Hives in revenge. This Outrage brought them out in whole Troops upon him; and he came afterwards to bethink himself, how much more advisable it had been to pass over one Injury, than by an unprofitable Passion to provoke a Thousand.

Tells a story of two goats who are at a river with a narrow bridge that allowed no room to pass. They argued and fought over who should cross the bridge first, and neither would budge. The moral of the story is that when you argue and fight, you lose sight of what is right.

A man and a Lion traveled together through the forest. They soon began to boast of their respective superiority to each other in strength and prowess. As they were disputing, they passed a statue carved in stone, which represented “a Lion strangled by a Man.” The traveler pointed to it and said: “See there! How strong we are, and how we prevail over even the king of beasts.” The Lion replied: “This statue was made by one of you men. If we Lions knew how to erect statues, you would see the Man placed under the paw of the Lion.”

A stag bends down to drink from a stream, whilst doing so stops to admire his impressive antlers in the cool reflection. At the same time, he ashamedly notices how small his hind legs are in comparison to his large antlers. At that instant he sees a lion stalking him and takes off at full speed for the safety of the forest only to have his impressive antlers snag on the branches. Just before the Stag gets eaten, he muses on the irony of how his impressive antlers were the cause of his demise and if it were not for them his small but nimble hind legs would have carried him to safety.

One day a wolf cornered a sheep.

"You can't escape,” said the wolf, baring his teeth.

"I know," said the sheep, softly.

"Please grant me a last wish. Sing a song so that I may dance one last time.'

"Certainly,' said the wolf and throwing back his head began to howl.

Hearing him howl the farmer's dogs rushed to the spot and drove him away.
