Answer: A Town Mouse and a Country Mouse were friends. The Country Mouse one day invited his friend to come and see him at his home in the fields. The Town Mouse came and they sat down to a dinner of barley corns and roots the latter of which had a distinctly earthy flavour.
corns and roots the latter of which had a distinctly earthy flavour.The flavour was not much to the taste of the guest and presently he broke out with “My poor dear friend, you live here no better than the ants. Now, you should just see how I fare! My larder is a regular horn of plenty. You must come and stay with me and I promise you shall live on the fat of the land."
So when he returned to town he took the Country Mouse with him and showed him into a larder containing flour and oatmeal and figs and honey and dates.
The Country Mouse had never seen anything like it and sat down to enjoy the luxuries his friend provided. But before they had well begun, the door of the larder opened and some one came in. The two Mice scampered off and hid themselves in a narrow and exceedingly uncomfortable hole. Presently, when all was quiet, they ventured out again. But some one else came in, and off they scuttled again. This was too much for the visitor. "Good bye," said he, "I'm off. You live in the lap of luxury, I can see, but you are surrounded by dangers whereas at home I can enjoy my simple dinner of roots and corn in peace."
Moral : Safety is the first importance.
Answer:
Nasruddin Hodja was absent-minded. One day, he set out on his donkey to visit a friend. “Have a safe journey,” said his wife. “Do not leave your belongings somewhere and return without them,” she cautioned him. Hodja nodded his head and left.
On the way, Hodja met some friends. He got off the donkey and joined them. A roadside vendor served them tea. Hodja happily chatted with his friends, sipping tea. Finally, his friends took leave of him. Hodja turned to resume his journey. To his shock, he found his donkey gone.
Hodja started looking for his donkey, running here and there. He could not find it. A kind looking man advised him to go home. “Your donkey will eventually return home. When you go home you will find him.”
“But how can I go home without my donkey?” Hodja asked.
“You look young and fit. Surely you can walk home?” the man said irritated by Hodja.
“My donkey knows where my home is. Without him, I can’t find my home,” confessed Hodja.
Fortunately, halfway to home, the donkey remembered its Master and came back looking for him. Hodja hugged his donkey which brought him home safely
