The Ox and the Colt

One day an ox and a colt arrived at a waterhole at the same time to drink. For a few minutes they stood and stared at each other. Finally the ox spoke, “Surely you’ll want me to drink first, my young friend, for I’m many years older than you .”

“Should I let you go first merely because you’ve grown old?” asked the colt. “The world today belongs to the young. After all, young people haven’t made as many mistakes as your generation has!”

Such disrespect made the ox angry, but he tried not to show it. “ Then certainly, you will respect me because I’ve experienced more of life than you,” said to ox.

But the colt argued, “Why should I do that? You forget that the world has changed. The young today face more in a few years than you faced in a decade in the years of your youth,” said the colt.

“Then, honor me for what oxen have done through the years!” the ox demanded.

“And what have oxen done that’s been so great?”

“They’ve tilled the fields of the kings!” the ox cried.

“Have they?” replied the colt. “you’ve forgotten that horses have carried the kings themselves on their backs for centuries. Really, all of your arguments so far have made me laugh!”

The ox couldn’t endure his anger. He put down his head and began to paw the earth, ready to charge.

“So you want to fight! You’ll be sorry!” exclaimed the colt. And he reared back, anxious to accept the challenge of the ox.

Suddenly, the colt saw several vultures, circling overhead, waiting for the kill.

The colt brought his feet down to the ground and said to the ox, “I do believe, Sir, that we’ve overlooked a fundamental fact here.

It appears that there may be room enough for both of us to drink here at the same time.”

“I think, friend, you may be correct,” replied the ox. Then as he looked toward the waterhole, he added, “Yes, in fact, I’m sure you are right.”

And so they drank at the waterhole together. Later as they went their separate ways, the vultures flew away.

The Emperor’s New Clothes

Of course, neither would admit that could not see the cloth and so praised it. All the townspeople had also heard of the cloth and were interested to learn how stupid their neighbors were.

The emperor then allowed himself to be dressed in the clothes for a procession through town, never admitting that he was too unfit and stupid to see what he was wearing. For he was afraid that the other people would think that he was stupid.

Of course, all the townspeople wildly praised the magnificent clothes of the emperor, afraid to admit that they couldn’t see them, until a small child said: “But he has nothing on”!

What do you thing if your neighbor hit his drum every day ?

It was Jimmy’s birthday, and he was five years old. He got quite a lot of nice birthday presents from his family, and one of them was a beautiful big drum.

“ Who gave him that thing ?” Jimmy’s father said when he saw it.

“ Oh,” said his father.

But one of the neighbors did not like the noise at all, so one morning a few days later, she took a sharp knife and went to Jimmy’s house while he was hitting his drum. She said to him, “Hello, Jimmy. Do you know, there’s something very nice inside your drum. Here’s a knife. Open the drum and let’s find it”

Jimmy did as told and the neighbor never heard the drum again.
