The Fox and the Corn

A FARMER CAUGHT the fox who had been stealing corn from his corn field and decided to have some fun. He tied some kindling to the fox’s tail and set it alight. How he laughed as the poor fox ran around in agony. But his laughter soon turned to anguish and tears as the fox, distraught with pain, ran up and down the farmer’s corn field setting all his corn alight and destroying his crop for that year.

The Shipwreck

THERE WAS A terrible storm. A ship was being pummelled by the savage wind and huge waves and soon it began to sink. Everyone on board jumped off the ship and started swimming for their lives. All, that is, except one man. He stayed on board as the ship was going down, crying out, ‘Save me. Athena, save me and I will place gems and the finest foods and wines on your altar.’

From the sea below, another man called out to him, ‘Don’t leave it all to Athena. Let your arms and legs do some of the work as well!’
