One day, a farmer and his son were walking to town with their donkey. They were going to sell
the donkey to the market.
On the road, they met some young girls. One of the girls laughed and said, “Look how foolish
they are. Both of them are walking though one of them could be riding of the donkey.” When the farmer
heard this, he told his son to get up on the donkey and ride.
But, soon they passed two men standing near the road, “Look at that” said one of the men.
“The young boy is riding while his poor old father has to walk.” So, the son got of the donkey and the
farmer got on. They continued down the road toward town.
After a short time, they came to some old women standing at a corner. One of them asked the
farmer. “How can you let your son walk while you ride? He must be very tired. What kind of father are
you? So, the father lifted his son up and both of them rode until they reached town.
When they got to the town, a man saw them and asked “Is that donkey yours?” “Yes,” said the
farmer. “You are making that animal work too hard,” said the man. “You should carry that donkey!”
The farmer and his son got off the donkey’s back. They carried the donkey using wooden stick
and rope. At the town bridge, a crowd of people was laughing and pointing at them. The donkey was
afraid of all the noise, so he began to pull loose the rope. Unfortunately, the donkey fell into the water

offer you some good advice? I suggest that you pick up the oyster in your beak, fly high into the air, and
then drop the oyster onto the wide rock below. The oyster shell will break open and you will be able to
have your meal ".

never helped her mother to earn a living. Every day, she dressed up and admired her own beauty in the
mirror. Besides being lazy, she was also spoiled. Whatever she wanted she had to get. This made her
mother very sad.
One day, her mother asked her to accompany her to the market. She said, “OK, but I don’t want

silent.
At last, the mother couldn’t stand anymore. She prayed to God to punish her daughter, and God
answered the prayer. Slowly the girl’s legs turned into a stone and continued to the upper part of the
body. The girl began to panic.

Fireflies are just name. They are actually very cool insects. And they are not even flies, they
are beetles. They have a way of sending out light signals every now and then. If you see them at night
on a tree, you might think it is a brightly lit tree. That is the kind of light these fireflies produce.
Fireflies have transparent abdomen. There are cells of crystals or chemical substances inside
it which get broken down by enzymes. Some energy is released in the form of light. However, the light
they send out does not have heat. The light is cold.
The fireflies send out light signals at fixed intervals. And the purpose behind it is to attract
beetles for mating. But one firefly’s signal is different from another’s, depending on its sex and the type
of family it belongs to. If a firefly sends a signal at a fixed interval but gets a response either too soon
or too late, it will ignore the signal. It is like a perfect dance sequence. If you are faster or slower than
your partner, the dance fails.
