Moral:Change of habit cannot alter Nature.

The Bat assured him that he was not a mouse, but a bat, and thus a second time escaped.
Moral:It is wise to turn circumstances to good account.
翻译:一只蝙蝠坠落到地上,被黄鼠狼叼去,他请求饶命。黄鼠狼拒绝了,说他生来就是鸟类的天敌。蝙蝠向他保证他不是一只鸟,而是一只老鼠,于是就被放了出来。

5、The Dog and the Shadow(狗和影子)
It happened that a Dog had got a piece of meat and was carrying it home in his mouth to eat it in peace. Now, on his way home he had to cross a plank lying across a running brook. As he crossed, he looked down and saw his own shadow reflected in the water beneath.
