Stage 2
The heron and fish A heron walks along a riverbank, behaving as if he is a king. The other animals and birds feign respect but laugh at him behind his back. The heron hunts fish by standing very still in the water, on one leg, and waiting for fish to swim past. He cannot hunt when the other animals are there, making a noise and splashing around. He waits until they have finished, then wades out into the river. However, he refuses to catch the various small and medium-sized fish that swim past, thinking that only a great salmon is good enough for him. No salmon comes, so he ends up with nothing to eat. The Donkey in the Lion's skin Tired of being laughed at by the other animals, a donkey wishes it was something else. Its wish seems to be granted when it finds a lion costume. When it puts it on, it starts to inspire respect in the other animals. When the donkey comes across a fox it becomes over-confident, thinking it will sound like a lion if it tries to roar. The resulting bray gives the donkey away, and the fox pulls off its costume, making the other animals laugh at the donkey again. The Eagle and the Jackdaw A jackdaw is impressed by a soaring eagle. Her husband thinks that he is just as good as the eagle, but she complains that he only ever brings back trinkets to the nest, rather than anything useful. The male jackdaw then watches an eagle fly off with a lamb which had become separated from a nearby flock. He thinks he will prove his worth to his wife by doing something similar, but tries to fly off with the prize ram rather than a lamb. Unable to lift the ram, his talons get tangled in the wool, and he is caught by the shepherd, who clips his wings to stop him causing more trouble. Both the shepherd and the jackdaw’s wife ridicule it for trying to behave like an eagle The Thief and the Innkeeper A proud Thief hired a room in Tavern in the hope of stealing something to pay his reckoning. On seeing the Innkeeper dressed handsomely and sitting before the door, he decided to sit with him. In due conversation he yawned terribly like a howling wolf. The astonished Innkeeper questioned the thief and was greatly alarmed at the response he got, for the Innkeeper was informed the if he yawned the third time he would turn into a wolf and attack men. Thus before the thief yawned for the third time, the Innkeeper escaped frightened lest he should be attacked. Leaving his coat in the thief's hands he ran into safety. the thief made off with the coat and never returned. Every tale is not to be believed |
