The Eagle and the Fox

   

  An EAGLE and a Fox formed an intimate friendship and decided to live near each other. The Eagle built her nest in the branches of a tall tree, while the Fox crept into the under wood and there produced her young. Not long after they had agreed upon this plan, the Eagle, being in want of provision for her young ones, swooped down while the Fox was out, seized upon one of the little cubs, and feasted herself and her brood. The Fox on her return, discovered what had happened, but was less grieved for the death of her young than for her inability to avenge them. A just retribution, however, quickly fell upon the Eagle. While hovering near an altar, on which some villagers were sacrificing a goat, she suddenly seized a piece of the flesh, and carried it, along with a burning cinder, to her nest. A strong breeze soon fanned the spark into a flame, and the eaglets, as yet unfledged and helpless, were roasted in their nest and dropped down dead at the bottom of the tree. There, in the sight of the Eagle, the Fox gobbled them up.

 This fable is applicable to young ones but there are such words that should be translated to other words which have a lighter meanings (e.g. brood to young ones ; crept to move) in order for the young children to understand the story very well. The moral that you can gotten out of the piece is the golden rule.."Do unto others as you would have them do unto you"  Everyone of us has its own rights and freedoms. And if you want others to respect it, respect others rights and freedoms first.
