flattered by the words of the jackal who began to push against the wall with
all his strength believing he was stopping the gorge and preventing
that it would fall upon their heads. The clever jackal then took advantage
the opportunity to move away from the naive lion and escape.

Moral: An intelligent idea can help you get out of a big problem.

correctly and, to his joy, his owner soon took off the bell.

Moral: Do not confuse being famous with being loved.

for their vanity and, without suspecting that there could be any danger in it,
followed the wolf. Together they arrived at a large rock that was beside a
river and it was there that the wolf said: "How strange, there used to be a bridge to cross here"

on the other side of the river and reach your palace. Let's think about what we can do...

Those words were a signal for the rest of the wolves to come out and
they surrounded the elephant to mock him. He, feeling cornered,
he tripped and fell into the river. While the wolves laughed from the rock, one of
