Lit Morals

The Wolf in Sheep's Clothing
I believe that this story teaches a very important moral! In my opinion, the moral of the story is that you can't always trust everyone, even people you are very close to. This is because if you have to much trust in everyone, people can trick you and take advantage of you! In addition, certain things can get into the wrong hands of a person who may not be trustworthy or safe!

The Four Oxen and the Lion
I believe that the moral of the story is to always work together! Especially in a serious situation such as this. This is because if you do not work together and rebel against each other, that you can get very negative outcomes. For example, in this short story, the oxen decide to use there own strategies to attempt to escape from being the lion's lunch, but in the end they all end up dying. However, if they had listened to each others ideas, and worked together, they may have not all been fooled by the lion and themselves, and had a chance at living.

The Fisher and the Little Fish
In this story, I believe that the Maxim can be interpreted in many different ways! However, the way I look at it is that if you want the best for yourself, you have to work hard for it! In addition, it takes much time and patience to receive what is best for you. For instance, it takes much time and patience to find a good college/education!

The Crow and the Pitcher
So far, this has been my favorite fable that I have read. To meet, it send out a very important moral/ message. This message is to never lose hope and faith. Don't ever give up on anything, especially yourself! Even when you think that you've tried your best and you have don't everything you could do, you should keep pushing forward and trying harder. This also leads into trying your best. Trying your best is one of the best things that you can possibly do for yourself! Nothing bad with come out of trying to succeed in something. So always have faith and never give up!

The Fox and the Goat
I think that this maxim shows that you should think before you act and think about what you're going to say before you say it. In the story, the goat believed the fox about the drought so the goat jumped into the well, then the fox followed by jumping the the goats back and jumping out. They goat was silly to jump into the well if he had yet to hear about the drought!
