驴子与蚱蜢
驴子听见蚱蜢唱歌,被美妙动听的歌声所打动，自己也想能发出同样悦耳动听的声音，便羡慕地问他们吃些什么，才能发出如此美妙的声音来。蚱蜢答道：“吃露水。”驴子便也只吃露水,没多久就饿死了。
这个故事告诉人们不要企望非份之物。

蝙蝠与黄鼠狼
蝙蝠掉落在地上,被黄鼠狼叼去，他请求饶命。黄鼠狼说绝不会放过他,自己生来痛恨鸟类。蝙蝠说他是老鼠,不是鸟，便被放了。后来蝙蝠又掉落了下来,被另一只黄鼠狼叼住,他再三请求不要吃他。这只黄鼠狼说他恨一切鼠类。蝙蝠改口说自己是鸟类，并非老鼠,又被放了。这样,蝙蝠两次改变了自己的名字,终于死里逃生。

狼与小羊
一只小羊在河边喝水，狼见到后,便想找一个名正言顺的借口吃掉他。于是他跑到上游,恶狠狠地说小羊把河水搅浑浊了，使他喝不到清水。小羊回答说,他仅仅站在河边喝水,并且又在下游，根本不可能把上游的水搅浑。狼见此计不成,又说道:“我父亲去年被你骂过。”小羊说,那时他还没有出生。狼对他说:“不管你怎样辩解，反正我不会放过你。”
