This made the lion so furious and killed the donkey with his powerful blow.
Then the lion told the fox to divide the meat.The fox was cunning.He put aside a big heap in the lion's share,and kept only a small piece for himself.
On seeing this,the lion looked very pleased and said,"Mr.Fox,this needs the most satisfactory divisor.Who taught you to be so clever?"
"The dead donkey has been my teacher," replied the fox."From his foolish conduct I have learned to be wise."

2.Why the sea is salty
There were two brothers who lived in a village
by the sea, the elder was called Chi Hua and the younger Chi Ming.
When their father died. Chi Hua took all the
family property for himself. His brother had nothing. Chi Ming was poor and
worked hard every day to collect firewood to make a living. One night, he had a
dream. In this dream, an old man came to him.
“I am the god of stone,” he said. “I want to
help you because you are honest and hard-working. If you will climb to the top
of the mountain behind your village, you will find a stone gate there. Open the
gate and go inside. There are many fairies living there. Ask them for anything
you want and they will give it to you. Don’t be greedy, however. Ask for the
stone grindstone which you will find there. It is a magic grindstone. Whatever
you want, it will make for you.”
The next day, Chi Ming climbed the mountain. He
carried a basket of food with him. When he arrived at the stone gate, he went
inside. He found himself in a large cave. There were many fairies living there.
However, they did not have enough food to eat. He gave them the basket of food
and they were very pleased.
“You can take away all the gold and silver you
can carry.” They said to him.
“Please give me instead the magic grindstone,”
Chi Ming asked.
The fairies handed over the grindstone to him.
Chi Ming thanked them and carried it away with him.
When he returned home. He felt hungry. He asked
the grindstone for some food. In no time, a wonderful meal appeared on the
table. From that day on, everything he wanted was given to him by the magic
grindstone.
Not long afterwards, his elder brother, Chi Hua,
heard of Chi Ming’s good fortune. While Chi Ming was sleeping he crept into the
house and stole the magic grindstone.
He sailed away in a little boat with the magic
grindstone.
“what shall I ask for?” he thought. “I know.
Everyone need salt. I’ll ask the grindstone to give me as much salt as I want.
I’ll soon become a rich man.”
He then asked the grindstone for the salt, “All
right,” said the grind stone.it started grinding away and the boat soon filled
with salt. There was alt everywhere. But Chi Hua was so greedy that he did not
want to tell the grindstone to stop.
Finally, the boat sank under the weight of the
salt and Chi Hua was drowned.
From the day on. The grindstone continued to
make salt at the bottom of the sea. That is why the sea is so salty.
MORAL VALUE: Don't be such a greedy person! (Jangan menjadi orang yang serakah!
