The Fox and the Crow
A crow had stolen a piece of cheese from an open window and carried it up to a high branch to enjoy at leisure. A fox, passing beneath, caught the smell of it and stopped. “Good morning, mistress crow,” he called up sweetly. “How well you look today. Your feathers shine like nothing else in this wood, and your eyes are brighter than any bird's. Surely a creature so handsome must also have a beautiful voice. If you would only sing one note, I should call you the queen of all birds.” The crow was so delighted by this praise that she forgot her caution. She opened her beak wide to caw her finest note, and the cheese dropped straight into the waiting jaws below. “Thank you,” said the fox as he trotted away. “That was all I wanted. In return I shall give you a piece of advice: never trust a flatterer.”
What did the fox ask the crow to do?

Androcles and the Lion
Androcles was a slave who ran away from a cruel master and hid in a forest. Exhausted, he crept into a cave to sleep, and was woken by a low groaning. A great lion stood at the mouth of the cave, holding up one paw. Androcles was terrified, but he saw that the lion did not spring. Looking closer, he found a long thorn driven deep into the pad of the paw, and the flesh swollen all round it. He took the paw in both hands and drew the thorn out. The lion licked his hand like a dog and lay down beside him, and for three years the two shared the cave. At last Androcles was captured and taken back to the city, where he was condemned to be thrown to a lion before a great crowd. The gate of the arena was raised. The lion rushed out, stopped, and then walked quietly across the sand and lay down at his feet. It was the same lion. The crowd was so amazed that the emperor set them both free.

A Letter from a Cousin
27 May Dear Ishaan, I have been meaning to write ever since we came down from the hills, and I am sorry it has taken me so long. The trek was harder than any of us expected. We walked six hours on the first day and reached the rest house long after dark, and my boots gave me two blisters before the second morning. But the third day made up for everything. We started at four, climbed above the mist, and watched the sun come up over three ranges of snow peaks. Nobody spoke for about ten minutes. Even our guide, who has done the route forty times, stopped to look. Do come with us next April. I am already saving for a better pair of boots. With love, Tara
What happened to Tara's boots?
