O
nce upon a time an old fox with nine tails, who believed that his wife was not faithful to him, and wished to put her to the test. He stretched himself out under the bench, did not move a limb, and behaved as if he were stone dead. Mrs Fox went up to her room, shut herself in, and her maid, Miss Cat, sat by the fire, and did the cooking. When it became known that the old fox was dead, suitors presented themselves. The maid heard someone standing at the house- door, knocking. She went and opened it, and it was a young fox, who said:
She answered:
'No, thank you, miss,' said the fox, 'what is Mrs Fox doing?' The maid replied: 'Do just tell her, miss, that a young fox is here, who would like to woo her.' 'Certainly, young sir.' 'Has he nine as beautiful tails as the late Mr Fox?' 'Oh, no,' answered the cat, 'he has only one.' 'Then I will not have him.' 'Now open the gates and doors all wide, And carry old Mr Fox outside.'
Second Story
'Good day, Mrs Cat of Kehrewit, How comes it that alone you sit? What are you making good?' 'In milk I'm breaking bread so sweet, Will you be my guest, and eat?'
The cat said:
The wolf answered: Mrs Fox asked: 'Has the gentleman red stockings on, and has he a pointed mouth?' 'No,' answered the cat. 'Then he won't do for me.'
'Sweep me the room as clean as you can, Up with the window, fling out my old man! For many a fine fat mouse he brought, Yet of his wife he never thought, But ate up every one he caught.'
(from Fairy Tales , by The Brothers Grimm, translated by Edgar Taylor and Marian Edwardes)
Malin Kundang
Once upon time, there was a boy named Malin Kundang. He lived with his mother in a very poor condition. They looked fire wood in the forest nearly to make a living. Malin Kundang was so unsatisfied with their bad luck. That’s why he decided to go to another city to look for a better life.
Not long afterwards, Malin asked his mother’s permission to go to a big city. He promised to come back soon with much money. His mother permitted him and always prayed for him. In his journey, Malin Kundang joined a merchant in a big ship.
Actually, Malin was a diligent boy. He worked hard to get much money and everything changed. He became a rich merchant. His business partner asked him to marry his daughter. Malin agreed. Then Malin and his business partner’s daughter got married. They had honeymoon and traveled all over the world.
Many years later, Malin’s ship anchored in his village. Many villagers welcome his arrival and admired his glorious ship. Furthermore, they wanted to see his success. Malin’s mother heard that her son had come back. She was very glad and eager to see him. With a happy smile in her lips, she went to the seashore to meet her son. Do you know what happened when she met Malin? He pretended that he didn’t know her. Of course she was very very sad and disappointed.
In her desperation she cried to God to punish Malin. She cursed Malin Kundang and his ship to be a stone. Since then, people can see the big stone in the
The Little Red Hen
Once upon a time, there was a Red Hen lived in a farm with her chickens. She also lived with the other neighbors, the Goose and the Duck.
One day, she found a grain of wheat. So she asked her neighbors, the goose and the duck, “Who will plant this wheat?” And no one wanted to plant the wheat. So she planted the grain of wheat herself.
When the wheat was ripe she said, “Who will take this wheat to the mill?” And, again, no one wanted to do it. So she took the wheat to the mill.
When she brought the fl our home she said, “Who will make some bread with this fl our?” And as predicted, no one would like to do it. When the bread was baked, she said, “Who will eat this bread?” This time it was different.
They said “I will, I will.”
“No, you won’t,” said the Red Hen. “I shall eat it myself. Cluck! Cluck!” And she called her chickens to eat the bread together.
Lesson: We should share both in good and bad times.

Once, in a time long past, there were a pair of slippers made of buffalo skin belonging to a prince. When the prince took them off, he put them on a rack in the kitchen, where the kitchen mice stared at them hour after hour, for they wished to eat them.
These were no ordinary slippers, since they had the power of speech, and they spoke to one another exactly like husband and wife. One day the Husband Slipper said to his spouse, “Wife, if the mice stare at us this way, day and night, in the end we are going to be devoured by them. What do you think? Could we perhaps change ourselves into mice?”
The wife only replied, “As you wish, Husband.”
The Husband Slipper sent up a prayer to the Almighty for them to become mice, and at once their prayer was heard and their wish granted.
As mice, however, they discovered that their slightest movement caught the attention of the cats, which made them feel very unsafe, and so they asked to become cats.
This request too was granted them; but as cats, hardly had they set their paws outside the house when they were set upon by dogs. They therefore sent up an entreaty to become dogs, and as before, they were granted their wish.
When the newly created dogs came in the vicinity of men and women who were stamping rice, they were immediately beaten with the rice stumpers and chased away. They decided then that it would be more advantageous to become human beings, and this too they were allowed to become.
They were then called upon by the village chief to perform a variety of tasks for him, among others, to carry heavy loads of rocks. Their dissatisfaction increasing, they asked to become courtiers; and the very next moment they were courtiers, in which capacity they had to carry out the commands of the Prince, night and day. They were even awakened from a deep sleep to perform some duty or other for His Majesty.
Of course the courtiers now felt how convenient it would be to become Prince and Princess, for then there would be no one over them to issue commands – and this too they became. But they were not at peace, for a Prince from another principality attacked their princedom, and they were continually surrounded by enemies.
More concerned than ever, the Slipper Prince said to his wife, “My fear is great that we will be defeated, and if, we are, we will be imprisoned and ordered to cut grass for the horses. What shall we do? If I could become God, we would have no enemies, and we would be all-powerful.”
And the wife replied, as always, “As you wish, Husband!”
But that was the limit. At the very moment that the Husband asked to become God, both he and his wife became slippers again, back in the kitchen, on the rack, as when their story began!
