A set of tales meant to teach,
Old or young, all can learn from these tales;
Not just a figure of speech,
But medicine for the all that ails.

An envious Jay tries on the Peacock's feathers and struts up to his new brothers,
but he is pecked at and sent away
The pitiful Jay returned to his real brethren, put out by the others
But they witnessed it all and did not accept him back, replying to his dismay:
It is not only fine feathers that make fine birds.

Raw, rich, sweet, and thick; honey.
Man kept stealing Bee’s honey, so she asked Jupiter for a deadly sting to outwit.
But Jupiter loved man, so the Bee was charged with a price other than money.
For if the Bee uses her sting, she will perish from the loss of it:
Evil wishes, like chickens, come home to roost.

Frogs leaped and splashed in a pond,
When boys began to pelt rocks at the frogs.
After a number of frogs were killed, one stuck his head above the water to respond;
“Pray stop, my boys: what is sport to you, is death to us” and receded back to the bog:
One man's pleasure may be another's pain.

Do not change who you are to be accepted by others,
Praying for evil upon others will only hurt the wisher instead,
What is fun to one is pain for another,
Negative energy will only lead to an early deathbed.
