ORIENTATION:
Long ago on the top of Mount Kinabalu in Borneo, there lived a dragon. He owned a large and beautiful pearl. People
believed that he controlled the weather with it.
COMPLICATION:
The emperor of China heard this and wanted the pearl. He sent his two sons, Wee Ping and Wee San to Borneo to steal it.
The princes, together with one hundred soldiers, set sail for Borneo in twelve sailing junks.
COMPLICATION:
When they arrived in Borneo, The set out immediately to find the famous mountain. Their journey up the rugged slopes
of Mount Kinabalu proved very difficult. The dragon guarded his cave very fiercely and killed many of their soldiers.
RESOLUTION:
Then Wee San had a clever idea. He climbed a tall tree, so he could see the dragon’s cave. He noted what time the dragon
left his cave to hunt for food and what time he returned to it.
RESOLUTION:
Next he ordered his men to make a fake pearl and a large kite. He waited until the dragon left his cave. Then he placed
the fake pearl in a bag, slung it across his shoulder and flew up to the mountain-top on the kite. He exchanged the real
pearl for the fake one and then his brother pulled his kite back to the ground.
REORIENTATION:
The brothers quickly returned to their ships and set sail for China. They sailed safely home. The emperor was thrilled with
the pearl and gave a big party to celebrate his sons’ return.
Four brothers, who were all good at tracking, met an Arab who asked them if they had
seen his missing camel.
The four brothers asked the Arab whether the camel had lost its tail and wanted to know if
it was bearing a sack of grain in one side and a jar of honey on the other.
To his surprise all the questions were true about his camel. And this made the Arab
convinced that they were the thieves. So he brought them before a judge.
But the explanation was simple.
The first brother began, “The camel had only gazed on the grass on one side of the path, so
it must be blind in the other eye. One of its hoofprints was less marked than the others, and that
means it must be lame in one foot.”
“As for me, “ sad the second brother, “ I noticed that all its droppings were in one heap,
instead of being spread around as usually happens, so I thought that this camel must be missing its
tail.”
“on one side,”explained the third brother,”some wheat grainshad fallen on the pathand
the ants were carrying them away. On the other side of the path, the flies were sucking at the drops
of honey.
There upon the judge freed the four brothers, and took them into his own services.

Long time ago, a remote village, in central China, was inhabited mainly with farmers and
hunters.
One day, a poor farmer lost his entire livestock to flood. He prayed hard to God for help or his
family would die of starvation.
Few days later, an old man with long grey beard, passed by his house took pity on him. He gave
him a goose and said “I don’t have any expensive thing to give you and hope this goose will you to ease
your hardship.”
A week later to his utmost surprise the farmer found an egg in his yard. This was not ordinary
egg. It was a golden egg. He was suddenly overcome with joy.
Thereafter, the livelihood had rapidly improved but the farmer had forgotten his earlier
hardship. He became lazy, arrogant, and spendthrift.
Strangely, the goose only laid one golden egg every six months. The greedy farmer lost his patient and
slaughtered his goose thinking there were plenty of golden eggs inside its stomach.
Though he very much regretted for his foolishness, it’s already too late.
Once there was a farmer from Laos. Every morning and evening, he ploughed his
field with his buffalo.
One day, a tiger, a mouse deer, and a cockerel were walking together to meet a
snail. On their way, they saw a farmer and a buffalo working in the field. The tiger said
to the mouse deer and the cockerel, "I wonder how stupid the buffalo is. He lets himself
being ruled by the small animal." "You are right. The big animal is really stupid. I'm sure
he knows very well that the small animal has killed my brothers and sisters for their
meals", said the cockerel. 'Well, if it were true, the small animal must be a heartless
one. I think you'd better ask the big animal, Tiger", said the mouse deer.
'After the man went home, the tiger spoke to the buffalo, "You are so big and
strong. Why do you do every thing the man tells you?' The buffalo answered, "Oh, the
man is very intelligent." The tiger asked, "Can you tell me how intelligent he is?" 'No, I
can't tell you" said the buffalo, `but you can ask him."
So the next day the tiger asked the man; "Can 1 see your intelligence?" But the man
answered "I leave it at home." "Can you go and get it?" asked the tiger. "Yes" said the
man; "But 1 am afraid you will kill my buffalo when 1 am gone. Can I tie you to a tree?”
After the man tied the tiger to the tree, he didn't go home to get his intelligence. He
took his plough and hit the tiger. Then he said; 'Now you know about my intelligence
though you haven't seen it."

Ivan was so poor that he owned nothing except the axe he needed to earn his living as
a woodcutter.
One day, by a stroke of ill fortune, while he was working on the bank of a river, the
blade of his axe flew off the handle and sank in the river. Poor Ivan was desperately unhappy;
now how could he cut the wood which had always earned him the little food that he ate?
His heart felt sighs were overheard by a strange, old man. As soon as he was told what
happened, the old man dived into the river and re-emerged a few moments later, holding up a
golden hatchet.
“Is this the one you lost?” he asked.” No, that’s not my hatchet,” Ivan replied.
The old man dived into the river again and came up holding a silver hatchet. “No, that’s
not mine either,” the woodcutter confirmed. On the third occasion, the old man came out
holding Ivan’s blade. “Yes, that’s mine!” laughed the happy woodcutter.
“Take it. You owe me nothing for the help I have given you. Rather, since you have
shown yourself to be neither greedy nor dishonest, you deserve to be rewarded. You can also
keep both the golden and the silver axes.”
