But a certain day, while the bull and the goats were playing and having fun, a dog walked by and saw them together, finding strange to see animals of such different condition living together in harmony. The dog approached the bull and told him:

“My friend bull, what is a strong and sturdy like you doing in the company of three ugly and skinny goats? Don't you realize that those who see you will take take you for a weak animal?”.

The bull was meditative about those words, and fearful of the gossips, he went drifting apart from the goats. But one day he saw himself abandoned and alone, and he remenbered his friends the goats, thinking to himself:

“Why did I had to listen to a flea-ridden dog I didn't even knew? I was living happily playing with the goats on the meadow, and now I’m all alone because of my own bad decisions”.

So the bull went out searching for the goats to ask for their forgiveness, and when he found them, the swore them eternal friendship.

Once upon a time, there was a puppy who was very curious and was always interested about the things concerning his Master. One day, the puppy heard some noises coming from the kitchen, and in order to know what was happening, he sneaked into the house.

Immediately, he found a group of mice having a great feast with his Master’s food. Before attacking he said to himself: “What a bunch of thieves! They’ll get what is coming for them!”. And without further ado, the puppy jumped on the group of mice, but he didn't realize that very close from there, there was a mousetrap.

He stumbled with the mousetrap, and one of his paws was trapped, and the Puppy gave strong howls of pain.

A parrot that was nearby screamed: “Well, well, see the Hunter hunted”. The Puppy, agonizing by the pain caused by the trap, begged: “Please help me! Take this thing off me, I promise I won’t bother anyone!” The good mice heard his plead, got closer to the Puppy and immediately set him free. Then, one of them told him: You see Puppy? This is what happens to you for believing you're a cat”.

7: The two frogs
During an intense and hot summer day, the fields were bright yellow, the puddles were dry, and the swamps were full of dry leaves with just a bit of wáter. That day, there were two frogs walking in search of wáter, since they were really thirsty and tired.

After walking for a long time, they arrived to the shore of a deep well, and sitting on the edge, they started to discuss if they should jump in it, or not.

One of the frogs reasonably argued that, since the well was overflowing with water, the bottom of the well would be a nice place for them to live peacefully. However the other frog, wiser than its partner, after thinking long and hard about it, said: “That’s all very good, my friend. I have no problema about jumping in. However, if the wáter dries, how would we get out of that well?”.

The sun and the wind were arguing about which one of the two was the most powerful, and their quarrel was really long, since neither one of them wanted to lose.

Shortly after, they saw a man peacefully walking by, and both agreed to put their powers to test using them against that man.

The wind said: “You’ll see how I remove that man’s clothes, just by throwing myself at him”. And then, he started to blow with all his might. However, as he tried harder and harder, the man clinged to his coat more and more, and continued to walk. The wind got very upset, and discharged rain and snow, but the man didn’t stopped, and clinged to his coat even harder. The wind understood his defeat and finally stopped.

Now it was the sun’s turn, and he smiled, overheating the ground, and the poor man, overjoyed by that sweet heat, took out his coat and put it on his shoulder. At this, the sun said to the wind: “Now you see how with kindness, you accomplish more than with violence?”.
