The Arrogant Turtle

The Arrogant Turtle – Ricky Chang

Once there was a turtle named Rover.

In comparison to his peers, Rover was exceptionally talented.

Rover was faster than his friends and he was smarter than his friends.

He was confident that he would lose in nothing.

He had friends but he felt he deserved better than them because he was more talented than them.

Eventually, his friends left him because Rover taunted them.

One day, they reunited and Rover mocked them upon seeing his friends.

His friends challenged him in a race and surprisingly Rover lost.

Rover was at a lost because he couldn’t picture himself being inferior to anyone for any aspect.

It is too bad Rover will not overcome his pride to maximize his use of his potential.

The Lioness her Cub



One sunny day, a lion sat with her cub. The cub marveled at how fast the other female lions were, how fast they ran, and how they seemed to know the zebra's next move.  As the cub studied the other lionesses every move, its mother scolded it. The mother lioness told her cub, "why do you watch the other lionesses so?", the cubs cried out "mother I wish to be as fast as them one day!", to which the mother replied, "then watch the zebra







Moral: You can learn from the mistakes of others more than from their successes.

Sleepy Cocker Spaniel

     Sleepy Cocker spaniel would always go to bed with the sunset, and wouldn't wake up until between 9 or 10 am. If the exact time was an even number, he would quickly get up and happily run to the streets to play in the snow with his hood friends, the french poodles. Everything seemed so perfect, so shiny, so exciting.
     The other days, he would wake up witha burning sensation in his throat that would make him so sick to the point of even hating the idea of going outside. He would only look from his window and all he would see were wolves fighting against each other in the middle of a cold winter storm. Then he'd claim how fed up he was with the artic.
     Funny thing is, I visited him once. His neighbors were some Boxers, Pugs, a Maltese and a couple of German Sheppards who recently moved into the area. All I saw were a bunch of houses that looked very similar, streets, sidewalks, pavement, lights, and finally, a  tiny bit of snow left from a few weeks ago.

The Wolf and the Sloth

Long ago, there lived two separate nations, one ruled by a wolf, and the other ruled by a sloth. The wolf's nation was filled with savage killers who hunted relentlessly. The most heralded members of the nation were those who could kill the most innocent animals. The sloth's nation was the opposite. The most respected members of the nation were those who were best able to promote peace and those who could forage the most herbs. One day, tired of the wolf's often senseless killing of the members of his nation, the sloth decided to confront the wolf. The sloth first asks,"Why do you insist on murdering those in my nation when we do nothing but mind our own business?" Instead of responding, the wolf kills the sloth and harvests its organs to sell. With no leader, the wolf declares himself the leader of what had been the sloth's people. A great parade and feast is organized in honor of the wolf's imperialistic conquest. 100 years later, the grandchildren of the sloth's nation commit murders just as only the wolf's nation originally would.

The moral of this story is that morality is subjective and often changes over time.

The Penguin and His Fish

The penguin had a difficult time acquiring food during the middle of the year. There were fewer fish around this time, making it difficult for him to eat on a daily basis. So, before the middle of the year came around he decided to gather and stash away a large amount of fish in order to prevent the struggle. He had thought the spot he chose to hide his food was perfect and impervious to being exposed. Right when he started to accumulate enough food to get through the fish scarcity, he had returned to his stash only to find it raided and empty.

Moral: Don't put all your eggs in one basket

The Boy and his Kingdom

There once was a boy who was the only heir to his parents kingdom. His parents gave him everything he laid his fingers on. He had servants working for him day and night. He was spoiled to a point where he didn't even walk himself anywhere but was rather carried by his servants. 

One day his parents had a huge feast at the palace. Everyone from the village was invited. The tables were covered with food.Everyone was quite enjoying themselves. The prince was getting bored. Even being the richest and most important person didn't help him get friends because to him no one was more important or worth wasting his time on then himself. 

While walking around he laid his eyes on the most beautiful girl in the kingdom. He couldn't help but stare. He was absolutely mesmerized. He thought to himself that he got everything he wanted so why would this be any different. He went up to the girl and said that he liked her and wanted to keep her here at the palace. The girl smiled politely and said that she couldn't and walked away This made the prince furious so he called off the feast.. He realized then that being rich and powerful doesn't mean you could have everything you wanted.
