Một buổi chiều nọ, có một chú cáo đang dạo bước trong rừng và chú phát hiện ra một chùm nho treo lơ lửng trên cành cây cao. Cáo thèm tới mức nước bọt cứ trào ra hai bên mép.

"Thứ này sẽ làm dịu cơn khát của mình đây", chú nghĩ.

Lùi lại vài bước, chú cáo phóng người lên nhưng không hái được chùm nho nào mà chỉ tới lá nho mà thôi. Một lần nữa, chú cáo lại lùi lại vài bước và cố gắng để hái được chùm nho nhưng vẫn thất bại. Cáo ta tìm đủ mọi cách nhưng vẫn không thể với tới được chùm nho.

Cuối cùng, bỏ cuộc, chú cáo hếch mũi lên và nói: "Dù gì thì cũng chỉ là những trái nho chua mà thôi", rồi cứ thế bỏ đi.

Ý nghĩa câu chuyện:

Thật dễ dàng để coi thường những gì bạn không thể có được. Một số người khi không có được thứ gì đó liền nói thứ đó không ra gì cả. Thực tế thì chỉ là vì khả năng của mình có giới hạn không thể có được nhưng đành lấy cớ, tự dối lòng mình để tự biện minh.

Một em bé đáng yêu đang cầm hai quả táo trong tay. Mẹ em bước vào phòng và mỉm cười hỏi cô con gái nhỏ: “Con yêu, con có thể cho mẹ một quả táo được không?”

Em bé ngước nhìn mẹ trong một vài giây, rồi sau đó lại nhìn xuống từng quả táo trên hai tay mình. Bất chợt, em cắn một miếng trên quả táo ở tay phải, rồi lại cắn thêm một miếng trên quả táo bên tay trái.

Nụ cười trên gương mặt bà mẹ bỗng trở nên gượng gạo. Bà cố gắng không để lộ nỗi thất vọng của mình.

Sau đó, cô gái nhỏ giơ lên một trong hai quả táo vừa bị cắn lúc nãy và rạng rỡ nói: “Quả táo này dành cho mẹ nhé, nó ngọt hơn đấy ạ!”.

It was the 7th match of the Stanley Cup final. A man reached out to his chair and sat down. At that moment, he realized that the chair next to him was vacant. He leaned over and asked the person sitting next to the empty chair if anyone was sitting. “No,” said the other. “This chair is empty.” “I can’t believe it,” he said. “Any sane-minded person who has a seat to watch the Stanley Cup and then doesn’t use it”.

The man on the other side of the chair replied, “Oh actually the chair is mine. I should have gone with my wife. But she passed away. This is the first Stanley Cup that we didn’t go with.” each other since the wedding “. “Oh, it’s a pity to hear this. It’s terrible… But why don’t you find a substitute to go with, for example, a friend, relative, or neighbor?” The other man replied, “No, they are both at her funeral.”

Two campers are going through the woods when a black bear suddenly appears in the clearing in front of them about fifty meters. The bear sees the campers and begins to head toward them. The first guy drops his backpack, digs out a pair of sneakers, and frantically begins to put them on. The second guy says, “What are you doing? Sneakers won’t help you outrun that bear.” “I don’t need to outrun the bear,” the first guy says. “I just need to outrun you.”

There was once a Dog who was so ill-natured and mischievous that his Master had to fasten a heavy wooden clog about his neck to keep him from annoying visitors and neighbors. But the Dog seemed to be very proud of the clog and dragged it about noisily as if he wished to attract everybody’s attention. He was not able to impress anyone. “You would be wiser,” said an old acquaintance, “to keep quietly out of sight with that clog. Do you want everybody to know what a disgraceful and ill-natured Dog you are?” Notoriety is not fame.

It was a hot summer. A lion went to a pool to drink water. Just then a pig also came there to quench his thirst. Both of them wanted to drink first. They looked at each other with bloodshot eyes and attacked each other with so much anger that soon they started bleeding. Feeling tired, both stopped for a while to be fresh. Suddenly, they heard the screams of vultures. They saw that a large number of vultures were looking at them with longing eyes. In no time, both the beasts understood that the vultures were waiting for one of them to be killed by the other so that they might feed on his dead body. So both of them became friends, quenched their thirst and went away. Thus, their friendship saved their lives.

The Woodman was in despair. The axe was all he possessed with which to make a living, and he had not money enough to buy a new one. As he stood wringing his hands and weeping, the god Mercury suddenly appeared and asked what the trouble was. The Woodman told what had happened, and straightway the kind Mercury dived into the pool. When he came up again he held a wonderful golden axe. “Is this your axe?” Mercury asked the Woodman. “No,” answered the honest Woodman, “that is not my axe.” Mercury laid the golden axe on the bank and sprang back into the pool. This time he brought up an axe of silver, but the Woodman declared again that his axe was just an ordinary one with a wooden handle. Mercury dived down for the third time, and when he came up again he had the very axe that had been lost. The poor Woodman was very glad that his axe had been found and could not thank the kind god enough.

Mercury was greatly pleased with the Woodman’s honesty. “I admire your honesty,” he said, “and as a reward, you may have all three axes, the gold and the silver as well as your own.” The happy Woodman returned to his home with his treasures, and soon the story of his good fortune was known to everybody in the village. Now there were several Woodmen in the village who believed that they could easily win the same good fortune. They hurried out into the woods, one here, one there, and hiding their axes in the bushes, pretended they had lost them. Then they wept and wailed and called on Mercury to help them. And indeed, Mercury did appear, first to this one, then to that. To each one he showed an axe of gold, and each one eagerly claimed it to be the one he had lost. But Mercury did not give them the golden axe. Oh no! Instead, he gave them each a hard whack over the head with it and sent them home. And when they returned the next day to look for their own axes, they were nowhere to be found.

“Away with you, vile insect!” said a Lion angrily to a Gnat that was buzzing around his head. But the Gnat was not in the least disturbed. “Do you think,” he said spitefully to the Lion, “that I am afraid of you because they call you king?” The next instant he flew at the Lion and stung him sharply on the nose. Mad with rage, the Lion struck fiercely at the Gnat, but only succeeded in tearing himself with his claws. Again and again, the Gnat stung the Lion, who now was roaring terribly. At last, worn out with rage and covered with wounds that his own teeth and claws had made, the Lion gave up the fight. The Gnat buzzed away to tell the whole world about his victory, but instead, he flew straight into a spider’s web. And there, he who had defeated the King of beasts came to a miserable end, the prey of a little spider. The least of our enemies is often the most to be feared. Pride over a success should not throw us off our guard.

One fine day two Crabs came out from their home to take a stroll on the sand. “Child,” said the mother, “you are walking very ungracefully. You should accustom yourself to walking straight forward without twisting from side to side.” “Pray, mother,” said the young one, “do but set the example yourself, and I will follow you.” “Examples is the best precept”

It was high summer. A traveller hired a donkey and set out on a journey. The owner of the donkey was following behind to drive the beast. At mid-day, they decided to take rest for some time but couldn’t find any shady place around. So, the traveler decided to rest in the shade of the donkey. But the owner didn’t let him do so as he himself wanted to sit in its shadow.

The trveller said, “How can you refuse me the shadow? I have paid you money after all.”

“But you have paid for the ride, not for resting in his shadow”, retorted the owner. So, an argument followed between the two. When the donkey saw that the owner and the hirer were busy fighting, he took to his heels and was soon out of sight.
