The Giant Crab
What a fun story this could be! A giant crab alone in the sea with no one quite his size.
What a lesson to be learned. The head rat was very intelligent here.
This was a very fun story. The monkey easily outwitted the crocodile, who had an evil plan for him from the beginning.

I still do not understand what has happened in this story, and I read it twice... I am sure it has something to do with the "tell-tale tit" phrase he keeps repeating. I tried googling the phrase with "old english" in the phrase as well but I was still stumped.
The Wise Parrot and the Foolish Parrot (Gutenberg)
This was a fantastic story on the golden rule "Honesty is the best policy." I really enjoyed this; a by-product would make a great storytelling idea.
This story was quite grim. The cat was simply following its' instincts. This is not my favorite story. The ending was positive for two of the three.
Wow. This was incredibly grim. I guess the moral of the story is you shouldn't always talk? OR that there is a time and place for speaking? I am not sure what to take away from this.
Okay these stories are not getting any happier. I did enjoy the lesson here. If you trust a fool to handle your affairs, then you are an even bigger fool. This is true in all aspects of life.
This would make a great story; what happens next with the goblin and his two humans! Maybe it could be a story where they go into the city the next day and have to convince people they won't die.

I like how the man came up and saved the day. What a good lesson concerning both the evil goblin and the thoughful monkeys.
How cute! Even though he ended up messing up the verse, the king thought it quite hilarious and decided to give him six instead of just one.
What a great lesson of patience. The wolf was punished because both he couldn't keep a promise and he was impatient. probably much deserved!
