The following three stories are short stories in English:

The first article: wolves and sheep

A wolf was badly bitten by a dog. He is sick and disabled, lying in his nest. He felt hungry and thirsty. When a sheep passed by, he asked him to fetch some water from the stream. "If you bring me water," he said, "I'll try to find some food." "Yes," said the sheep, "if I bring you water, you will definitely treat me as your food."

"Yes," the sheep replied, "if I bring you water to drink, then I will cook for you." Moral: Lies can't stand scrutiny and are easily seen through.

Chapter Two: The Fox and the Grape

One hot summer day, a fox walked through an orchard. He stopped at a bunch of grapes. They are ripe and juicy. "I just feel thirsty," he thought. So he stepped back, ran and jumped up, but he couldn't reach the grapes. He walked back. One, two, three, he jumped up again, but he still missed the grapes. The fox tried again and again, but never succeeded. Finally, he decided to give it up. He walked away with his head held high and said, "I'm sure they are sour."
