Once there was a farmer from Laos. Every morning and every evening, he
ploughed his field with his buffalo.
One day, a tiger saw the farmer and his buffalo working in the field. The tiger
was very surprised to see a big animal listening to a small animal. The tiger
wanted to know more about the big animal and the small animal.
After the man went home, the tiger spoke to the buffalo; you are so big and
strong. Why do you do everything 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 cant tell you,
said the buffalo; but you can ask him
So the next day the tiger asked to the man; Can I see your intelligence?. But
the man answered; it at home. Can you go and get it? asked the tiger. Yes
said the man; but I am afraid you will kill my buffalo when I am gone. Can I tie
you to a tree?
After the man tied the tiger to the tree, he didnt go home to get his intelligence.
He took his plough and hit the tiger. Then he said; Now you know about my
intelligence even you havent seen it.

A stupid man was sent by his father to sell salt. He first went to a mining area
but nobody there wanted his salt. When he returned home, his father told him
that if he had helped the miners to dig, they would have bought his salt.
The man next went to a house where a wedding was taking place. There he dug
a huge hole. This made the people angry and they chased him away. When he
returned home, his father told him that if he had beaten a drum and danced
instead, the people there would have bought salt from him.
Then, he went to a village where there happened to be a fire. Rushing to the
place, he started drumming and dancing, only to be thrown out by the people.
His father told him that he should have poured water on the fire instead, if he
wanted to sell salt there.
In the next place he went to, a couple were fighting with each other. The foolish
man poured a bucketful of water on them, again to be chased away. His father
later told him that he should have tried to settle the quarrel, in which case they
would have bought salt from him.
In the final event, the man saw two bulls fighting with each other. He stepped in
to stop the fight and was gored to death by angry bulls.

Donald, Daisy, Huey, Louie and Dewey all went to visit Uncle Scrooge one cold
autumn day. They knocked at the door and had to wait a long time before all the
bolts were undone. Even then Uncle Scrooge looked very suspicious, as if they
were Beagle Boys in disguise. The old miser was very surprised to see them all.
"Well, well. I suppose you'd better come in," he croaked at the door.
"Have you got a sore throat, Great- Uncle Scrooge?" chirped Louie.
"Don't be cheeky, Louie!" scolded Daisy.
"Stuff and nonsense!" croaked
Uncle Scrooge. "I have got a sore throat! The young lad's right."
"Sorry to hear that, Uncle," said Donald sympathetically. "Should I send Dewey
out to get you some cough
drops?"
"No. They cost too much money nowadays," complained the old miser. "I'd rather
suffer the tickle in my throat."
"You don't seem very happy, Uncle Scrooge," soothed Daisy.
"Mind your own business!" snapped Uncle Scrooge.
"Poor old Great-Uncle Scrooge," chirped Dewey, who had jumped up to sit on his
Great-Uncle's knee.
"What do you meanpoor Great- Uncle Scrooge!" chuckled Uncle Scrooge. "I've
got more money than Fort Knox."
"What I meant," explained Dewey, "was that I had a sore throat too, and I hardly
have any money. But I bought some cough drops." With that Dewey pulled out
his box of cough drops and gave them to Uncle Scrooge.
"You can have my cough drops, Uncle," smiled Dewey, "because they cured my
sore throat."
Uncle Scrooge didn't know what to say. But one great big tear rolled down his
face.
"Poor Great-Uncle Scrooge," echoed the triplets.

Once upon time, a man had a wonderful parrot. There was no other parrot like it.
The parrot could say every word, except one word. The parrot would not say the
name of the place where it was born. The name of the place was Catano.
The man felt excited having the smartest parrot but he could not understand why
the parrot would not say Catano. The man tried to teach the bird to say Catano
however the bird kept not saying the word.
At the first, the man was very nice to the bird but then he got very angry. You
stupid bird! pointed the man to the parrot. Why cant you say the word? Say
Catano! Or I will kill you the man said angrily. Although he tried hard to teach,
the parrot would not say it. Then the man got so angry and shouted to the bird
over and over; Say Catano or Ill kill you. The bird kept not to say the word of
Catano.
One day after he had been trying so many times to make the bird say Catano,
the man really got very angry. He could not bear it. He picked the parrot and
threw it into the chicken house. There were four old chickens for next dinner You
are as stupid as the chickens. Just stay with them Said the man angrily. Then he
continued to humble; You know, I will cut the chicken for my meal. Next it will be
your turn, I will eat you too, stupid parrot. After that he left the chicken house.
The next day, the man came back to the chicken house. He opened the door and
was very surprised. He could not believe what he saw at the chicken house.
There were three death chickens on the floor. At the moment, the parrot was
standing proudly and screaming at the last old chicken; Say Catano or Ill kill
you.
