A sad story of greed. A male goose selfishly provides a poor woman and her two daughters with one of his golden feathers from time to time to help them survive. The woman greedily takes all of the gooses feathers in fear that he won’t return. The goose’s feathers then become white and worthless when picked against his will. Eventually, the golden feathers return and he never comes back to the family.
The poor gardener only wished to enjoy a day off like the rest of the kingdom. Carefully explaining how to water the trees the the Monkey Chief, he thought all would be fine. Unfortunately, the Monkey Chief gave a horrible answer (and stupid) to the monkey’s question, resulting in the death of all the young trees.
A sweet tale of peace showing that harmony is possible even among friends with different backgrounds. When the Hawk family is threatened by hunters, the Kingfisher, Turtle, and then the Lion come to their aid. The hunters fight hard, but with the Lions help, the animals are safe and the harmony of the island continues.
A tale whose cunning and argument illicit a smile. When the man is told his plow was eaten by mice, the plow’s owner takes the man’s son and counters with an equally unrealistic scenario of the child having been taken by a bird. The sensible judge makes it right, but it begs to question the description of the two men being best friends.
Two deer siblings, Beauty and Brownie, who could not be more different. Beauty who listens intently to the father and Brownie who forgets the father’s directions. Beauty’s skillful obedience saves the herd under its care for the season. Unfortunately, Brownies forgetfulness results in the deaths of the herd under its care.
An endearing story of friendship found, friendship lost, and friendship found again. When a thoughtless elephant keeper fails to see the special friendship between the dog and elephant and sells him to a farmer, the result is an elephant in despair. The thoughtful, kind king resolves the situation, the dog returns to the elephant, and all is made right between the two friends.
