you tell us a story? 209 00:09:36,850 --> 00:09:39,850 A rat was traveling along the King's highway. 210 00:09:39,852 --> 00:09:43,153 He was a very proud rat, considering his small size 211 00:09:43,155 --> 00:09:46,023 and the bad reputation all rats have. 212 00:09:46,025 --> 00:09:50,195 As Mr. Rat walked along, he kept mostly to the ditch. 213 00:09:50,197 --> 00:09:52,464 He noticed a great commotion up the road, 214 00:09:52,466 --> 00:09:56,066 and soon a grand procession came in view. 215 00:09:56,068 --> 00:09:58,268 It was the King and his retinue. 216 00:09:58,270 --> 00:10:00,738 The King rode on a huge elephant 217 00:10:00,740 --> 00:10:03,874 adorned with the most gorgeous trappings. 218 00:10:03,876 --> 00:10:06,710 With the King in his luxurious howdah 219 00:10:06,712 --> 00:10:09,613 were the royal dog and cat. 220 00:10:09,615 --> 00:10:12,483 A great crowd of people followed the procession. 221 00:10:12,485 --> 00:10:15,619 They were so taken up with admiration of the elephant, 222 00:10:15,621 --> 00:10:17,589 that the rat was not noticed. 223 00:10:17,591 --> 00:10:19,590 His pride was hurt. 224 00:10:19,592 --> 00:10:22,326 "What fools!" he cried. 225 00:10:22,328 --> 00:10:25,897 "Look at me, and you will soon forget that clumsy elephant. 226 00:10:25,899 --> 00:10:29,032 "Is it his great size that makes your eyes pop out? 227 00:10:29,034 --> 00:10:31,301 "Or is it his wrinkled hide? 228 00:10:31,303 --> 00:10:35,006 "Why, I have eyes and ears and as many legs as he. 229 00:10:35,008 --> 00:10:38,743 "I am of just as much importance, and." 230 00:10:38,745 --> 00:10:42,914 But just then the royal cat spied him, and the next instant, 231 00:10:42,916 --> 00:10:47,087 the rat knew he was not quite so important as an elephant. 232 00:10:48,321 --> 00:10:51,155 A resemblance to the great in some things 233 00:10:51,157 --> 00:10:53,223 does not make us great. 234 00:10:53,225 --> 00:10:55,227 Wow, that was amazing. 235 00:10:56,129 --> 00:10:58,028 Another one please Milly. 236 00:10:58,030 --> 00:11:00,565 Some boys were playing one day at the edge of a pond 237 00:11:00,567 --> 00:11:03,434 in which lived a family of frogs. 238 00:11:03,436 --> 00:11:06,804 The boys amused themselves by throwing stones into the pond 239 00:11:06,806 --> 00:11:10,208 so as to make them skip on top of the water. 240 00:11:10,210 --> 00:11:13,611 The stones were flying thick and fast and the boys were 241 00:11:13,613 --> 00:11:16,347 enjoying themselves very much, but the poor frogs 242 00:11:16,349 --> 00:11:19,617 in the pond were trembling with fear. 243 00:11:19,619 --> 00:11:22,587 At last one of the frogs, the oldest and bravest, 244 00:11:22,589 --> 00:11:25,656 put his head out of the water, and said, 245 00:11:25,658 --> 00:11:28,626 "Oh, please, dear children, stop your cruel play. 246 00:11:28,628 --> 00:11:33,031 "Though it may be fun for you, it means death to us." 247 00:11:33,033 --> 00:11:35,465 Always stop to think whether your fun 248 00:11:35,467 --> 00:11:39,002 may not be the cause of another's unhappiness. 249 00:11:39,004 --> 00:11:41,138 Oh tell us another story. 250 00:11:41,140 --> 00:11:44,175 In a spell of dry weather, when the birds could find very 251 00:11:44,177 --> 00:11:47,111 little to drink, a thirsty crow found a pitcher with 252 00:11:47,113 --> 00:11:50,348 a little water in it, but the pitcher was high and had 253 00:11:50,350 --> 00:11:52,849 a narrow neck, and no matter how he tried, 254 00:11:52,851 --> 00:11:55,252 the crow could not reach the water. 255 00:11:55,254 --> 00:11:57,888 The poor thing felt as if he must die of thirst. 256 00:11:57,890 --> 00:12:00,358 Then an idea came to him. 257 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,660 Picking up some small pebbles, 258 00:12:02,662 --> 00:12:05,563 he dropped them into the pitcher one by one. 259 00:12:05,565 --> 00:12:09,467 With each pebble the water rose a little higher until 260 00:12:09,469 --> 00:12:12,502 at last it was near enough so he could drink. 261 00:12:12,504 --> 00:12:16,239 In a pinch a good use of our wits may help us out. 262 00:12:16,241 --> 00:12:17,709 Tell us another. 263 00:12:17,711 --> 00:12:20,811 One bright day in late autumn a family of ants were 264 00:12:20,813 --> 00:12:23,781 bustling about in the warm sunshine, drying out the grain 265 00:12:23,783 --> 00:12:26,383 they had stored up during the summer, when a starving 266 00:12:26,385 --> 00:12:29,420 grasshopper, his fiddle under his arm, 267 00:12:29,422 --> 00:12:32,456 came up and humbly begged for a bite to eat. 268 00:12:32,458 --> 00:12:34,858 "What?" cried the ants in surprise, 269 00:12:34,860 --> 00:12:37,395 "haven't you stored anything away for the winter? 270 00:12:37,397 --> 00:12:40,330 "What in the world were you doing all last summer?" 271 00:12:40,332 --> 00:12:43,001 "I didn't have time to store up any food," 272 00:12:43,003 --> 00:12:44,334 whined the grasshopper. 273 00:12:44,336 --> 00:12:45,837 "I was so busy making music that 274 00:12:45,839 --> 00:12:48,539 "before I knew it the summer was gone." 275 00:12:48,541 --> 00:12:51,041 The ants shrugged their shoulders in disgust. 276 00:12:51,043 --> 00:12:53,777 "Making music, were you?" they cried. 277 00:12:53,779 --> 00:12:55,813 "Very well, now dance." 278 00:12:55,815 --> 00:12:57,482 And they turned their backs on the grasshopper 279 00:12:57,484 --> 00:12:59,416 and went on with their work. 280 00:12:59,418 --> 00:13:02,853 There's a time for work and a time for play. 281 00:13:02,855 --> 00:13:04,622 Wow, what great stories. 282 00:13:04,624 --> 00:13:06,190 You were right Wilma. 283 00:13:06,192 --> 00:13:09,459 This place is the best place for an Easter egg hunt

Let's go. 288 00:13:15,467 --> 00:13:16,968 See anything? 289 00:13:16,970 --> 00:13:19,903 Hmm, the egg was definitely here at some point, 290 00:13:19,905 --> 00:13:23,241 but looks like it kept rolling down a slope. 291 00:13:23,243 --> 00:13:25,578 Looks like it went that way. 292 00:13:26,712 --> 00:13:28,646 Look over there. 293 00:13:28,648 --> 00:13:29,546 What, the egg? 294 00:13:29,548 --> 00:13:31,148 No a horse. 295 00:13:31,150 --> 00:13:35,320 Oh that's Horse, the best equine storyteller in the world. 296 00:13:36,623 --> 00:13:39,357 Wow, will he tell us a story? 297 00:13:39,359 --> 00:13:41,059 I'm sure he will. 298 00:13:41,061 --> 00:13:43,094 Let's go see him. 299 00:13:43,096 --> 00:13:45,865 (CHEERFUL MUSIC) 300 00:13:50,503 --> 00:13:51,969 Hello Horse. 301 00:13:51,971 --> 00:13:54,939 My name is Benny the Easter Bunny and this is Wilma. 302 00:13:54,941 --> 00:13:57,407 Will you tell us a story? 303 00:13:57,409 --> 00:14:00,877 There was once a little kid whose growing horns 304 00:14:00,879 --> 00:14:03,781 made him think he was a grown-up billy goat 305 00:14:03,783 --> 00:14:06,217 and able to take care of himself. 306 00:14:06,219 --> 00:14:10,188 So one evening when the flock started home from the pasture 307 00:14:10,190 --> 00:14:14,191 and his mother called, the kid paid no heed and kept right 308 00:14:14,193 --> 00:14:16,761 on nibbling the tender grass. 309 00:14:16,763 --> 00:14:21,733 A little later when he lifted his head, the flock was gone. 310 00:14:21,735 --> 00:14:23,868 He was all alone. 311 00:14:23,870 --> 00:14:25,670 The sun was sinking. 312 00:14:25,672 --> 00:14:28,638 Long shadows came creeping over the ground. 313 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,441 A chilly little wind came creeping with them 314 00:14:31,443 --> 00:14:34,145 making scary noises in the grass. 315 00:14:34,147 --> 00:14:37,681 The kid shivered as he thought of the terrible wolf. 316 00:14:37,683 --> 00:14:40,685 Then he started wildly over the field, 317 00:14:40,687 --> 00:14:43,087 bleating for his mother. 318 00:14:43,089 --> 00:14:47,260 But not halfway, near a clump of trees, there was the wolf. 319 00:14:48,794 --> 00:14:52,629 The kid knew there was little hope for him. 320 00:14:52,631 --> 00:14:55,867 "Please, Mr. Wolf," he said trembling, 321 00:14:55,869 --> 00:14:58,502 "I know you are going to eat me. 322 00:14:58,504 --> 00:15:01,839 "But first please pipe me a tune, 323 00:15:01,841 --> 00:15:06,511 "for I want to dance and be merry as long as I can." 324 00:15:06,513 --> 00:15:10,614 The wolf liked the idea of a little music before eating, 325 00:15:10,616 --> 00:15:13,084 so he struck up a merry tune 326 00:15:13,086 --> 00:15:16,621 and the kid leaped and frisked gaily. 327 00:15:16,623 --> 00:15:20,791 Meanwhile, the flock was moving slowly homeward. 328 00:15:20,793 --> 00:15:25,162 In the still evening air the wolf's piping carried far. 329 00:15:25,164 --> 00:15:27,665 The shepherd dogs pricked up their ears. 330 00:15:27,667 --> 00:15:31,536 They recognized the song the wolf sings before a feast, 331 00:15:31,538 --> 00:15:35,105 and in a moment they were racing back to the pasture. 332 00:15:35,107 --> 00:15:39,509 The wolf's song ended suddenly, and as he ran, 333 00:15:39,511 --> 00:15:43,748 with the dogs at his heels, he called himself a fool 334 00:15:43,750 --> 00:15:46,416 for turning piper to please a kid, 335 00:15:46,418 --> 00:15:50,490 when he should have stuck to his butcher's trade. 336 00:15:51,825 --> 00:15:55,425 Do not let anything turn you from your purpose. 337 00:15:55,427 --> 00:15:59,463 Before we go, please tell us another story? 338 00:15:59,465 --> 00:16:02,934 The tortoise, you know, carries his house on his back. 339 00:16:02,936 --> 00:16:07,338 No matter how hard he tries, he cannot leave home. 340 00:16:07,340 --> 00:16:11,474 They say that Jupiter punished him so, because he was such 341 00:16:11,476 --> 00:16:14,244 a lazy stay-at-home that he would not go to Jupiter's 342 00:16:14,246 --> 00:16:17,013 wedding, even when especially invited. 343 00:16:17,015 --> 00:16:20,651 After many years, tortoise began to wish he had gone 344 00:16:20,653 --> 00:16:22,386 to that wedding. 345 00:16:22,388 --> 00:16:25,289 When he saw how gaily the birds flew about 346 00:16:25,291 --> 00:16:28,526 and how the hare and the chipmunk and all the other animals 347 00:16:28,528 --> 00:16:32,095 ran nimbly by, always eager to see everything there was 348 00:16:32,097 --> 00:16:36,533 to be seen, the tortoise felt very sad and discontented. 349 00:16:36,535 --> 00:16:40,137 He wanted to see the world too, and there he was with 350 00:16:40,139 --> 00:16:43,107 a house on his back and little short legs 351 00:16:43,109 --> 00:16:45,609 that would hardly drag him along. 352 00:16:45,611 --> 00:16:47,945 One day he met a pair of ducks 353 00:16:47,947 --> 00:16:50,580 and told them all his trouble. 354 00:16:50,582 --> 00:16:53,984 "We can help you see the world," said the ducks. 355 00:16:53,986 --> 00:16:56,753 "Take hold of this stick with your teeth 356 00:16:56,755 --> 00:17:00,023 "and we will carry you far up in the air where you can see 357 00:17:00,025 --> 00:17:01,959 "the whole countryside. 358 00:17:01,961 --> 00:17:05,563 "But keep quiet or you will be sorry." 359 00:17:05,565 --> 00:17:08,699 The tortoise was very glad indeed. 360 00:17:08,701 --> 00:17:11,434 He seized the stick firmly with his teeth, 361 00:17:11,436 --> 00:17:14,905 the two ducks took hold of it one at each end, 362 00:17:14,907 --> 00:17:18,342 and away they sailed up toward the clouds. 363 00:17:18,344 --> 00:17:20,413 Just then a crow flew by. 364 00:17:21,847 --> 00:17:25,583 He was very much astonished at the strange sight and cried; 365 00:17:25,585 --> 00:17:29,286 "This must be surely the King of Tortoises!" 366 00:17:29,288 --> 00:17:32,523 "Why certainly," began the tortoise. 367 00:17:32,525 --> 00:17:36,559 But as he opened his mouth to say these foolish words 368 00:17:36,561 --> 00:17:39,229 he lost his hold on the stick, 369 00:17:39,231 --> 00:17:42,099 and down he fell to the ground. 370 00:17:42,101 --> 00:17:47,037 Foolish curiosity and vanity often lead to misfortune. 371 00:17:47,039 --> 00:17:48,572 Again Horse. 372 00:17:48,574 --> 00:17:52,642 "Why in the world do you walk sideways like that?" 373 00:17:52,644 --> 00:17:54,812 said a mother crab to her son. 374 00:17:54,814 --> 00:17:56,713 "You should always walk straight forward 375 00:17:56,715 --> 00:17:58,481 "with your toes turned out." 376 00:17:58,483 --> 00:18:00,785 "Show me how to walk, mother dear," 377 00:18:00,787 --> 00:18:03,086 answered the little crab obediently. 378 00:18:03,088 --> 00:18:04,988 "I want to learn." 379 00:18:04,990 --> 00:18:09,162 So the old crab tried and tried to walk straight forward, 380 00:18:10,496 --> 00:18:14,465 but she could walk sideways only, like her son. 381 00:18:14,467 --> 00:18:17,101 And when she wanted to turn her toes out 382 00:18:17,103 --> 00:18:19,872 she tripped and fell on her nose. 383 00:18:20,839 --> 00:18:22,739 Do not tell others how to act 384 00:18:22,741 --> 00:18:25,709 unless you can set a good example. 385 00:18:25,711 --> 00:18:28,045 Another story Horse. 386 00:18:28,047 --> 00:18:31,349 An ox came down to a reedy pool to drink. 387 00:18:31,351 --> 00:18:33,851 As he splashed heavily into the water, 388 00:18:33,853 --> 00:18:36,653 he crushed a young frog into the mud. 389 00:18:36,655 --> 00:18:39,489 The old frog soon missed the little one and asked 390 00:18:39,491 --> 00:18:42,226 his brothers and sisters what had become of him. 391 00:18:42,228 --> 00:18:46,162 "A great big monster," said one of them, 392 00:18:46,164 --> 00:18:49,900 "stepped on little brother with one of his huge feet!" 393 00:18:49,902 --> 00:18:54,073 "Big, was he?" said the old frog, puffing herself up. 394 00:18:55,008 --> 00:18:57,440 "Was he as big as this?" 395 00:18:57,442 --> 00:19:00,643 "Oh, much bigger!" they cried. 396 00:19:00,645 --> 00:19:03,381 The frog puffed up still more. 397 00:19:03,383 --> 00:19:07,084 "He could not have been bigger than this," she said. 398 00:19:07,086 --> 00:19:10,488 But the little frogs all declared that the monster was much, 399 00:19:10,490 --> 00:19:14,324 much bigger and the old frog kept puffing herself 400 00:19:14,326 --> 00:19:18,330 out more and more until, all at once, she burst. 401 00:19:21,134 --> 00:19:23,635 Do not attempt the impossible. 402 00:19:24,804 --> 00:19:26,836 That was so much fun. 403 00:19:26,838 --> 00:19:30,040 I'm so glad the egg rolled down into Fairy Tale Valley. 404 00:19:30,042 --> 00:19:32,843 There couldn't be a more amazing place to hunt 405 00:19:32,845 --> 00:19:34,978 for a special Easter egg. 406 00:19:34,980 --> 00:19:35,912 Hey! 407 00:19:35,914 --> 00:19:37,581 I think the egg went that-away. 408 00:19:37,583 --> 00:19:38,915 I think so too. 409 00:19:38,917 --> 00:19:39,751 Let's go. 410 00:19:42,587 --> 00:19:44,087 Look, over there. 411 00:19:44,089 --> 00:19:45,021 What is it? 412 00:19:45,023 --> 00:19:46,891 It's Vincenzo the bull. 413 00:19:46,893 --> 00:19:49,828 BENNY: Does he tell stories too? 414 00:19:50,762 --> 00:19:52,662 (LAUGHS) Yes, of course. 415 00:19:52,664 --> 00:19:54,798 He wouldn't be an inhabitant of Fairy Tale Valley 416 00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:56,199 if he didn't. 417 00:19:56,201 --> 00:19:58,602 Two travelers were walking along the seashore. 418 00:19:58,604 --> 00:20:01,238 Far out they saw something riding on the waves. 419 00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:05,109 "Look," said one, "a great ship rides in from distant lands, 420 00:20:05,111 --> 00:20:06,744 "bearing rich treasures." 421 00:20:06,746 --> 00:20:09,580 The object they saw came ever nearer the shore. 422 00:20:09,582 --> 00:20:12,382 "No," said the other, "that is not a treasure ship. 423 00:20:12,384 --> 00:20:14,351 "That is some fisherman's skiff, 424 00:20:14,353 --> 00:20:16,620 "with the day's catch of savory fish." 425 00:20:16,622 --> 00:20:18,689 Still nearer came the object. 426 00:20:18,691 --> 00:20:20,724 The waves washed it up on shore. 427 00:20:20,726 --> 00:20:24,161 "It is a chest of gold lost from some wreck," they cried. 428 00:20:24,163 --> 00:20:26,430 Both travelers rushed to the beach, 429 00:20:26,432 --> 00:20:30,366 but they found nothing but a water-soaked log. 430 00:20:30,368 --> 00:20:33,871 Do not let your hopes carry you away from reality. 431 00:20:33,873 --> 00:20:35,538 Another one Vincenzo. 432 00:20:35,540 --> 00:20:38,275 A wolf had stolen a lamb and was carrying it off to his 433 00:20:38,277 --> 00:20:41,444 lair to eat it, but his plans were very much changed when 434 00:20:41,446 --> 00:20:44,547 he met a lion, who, without making any excuses, 435 00:20:44,549 --> 00:20:46,650 took the lamb away from him. 436 00:20:46,652 --> 00:20:49,085 The wolf made off to a safe distance, 437 00:20:49,087 --> 00:20:51,354 and then said in a much injured tone, 438 00:20:51,356 --> 00:20:54,057 "You have no right to take my property like that." 439 00:20:54,059 --> 00:20:57,228 The lion looked back, but as the wolf was too far away to 440 00:20:57,230 --> 00:21:00,197 be taught a lesson without too much inconvenience, he said, 441 00:21:00,199 --> 00:21:01,664 "Your property? 442 00:21:01,666 --> 00:21:04,634 "Did you buy it, or did the shepherd make you a gift of it? 443 00:21:04,636 --> 00:21:07,770 "Pray tell me, how did you get it?" 444 00:21:07,772 --> 00:21:10,540 What is evil won is evil lost. 445 00:21:10,542 --> 00:21:13,344 My favorite one so far. 446 00:21:13,346 --> 00:21:16,180 A stag, drinking from a crystal spring saw himself 447 00:21:16,182 --> 00:21:18,248 mirrored in the clear water. 448 00:21:18,250 --> 00:21:20,584 He greatly admired the graceful arch of his antlers, 449 00:21:20,586 --> 00:21:23,786 but he was very much ashamed of his spindling legs. 450 00:21:23,788 --> 00:21:26,891 "How can it be," he sighed, "that I should be cursed with 451 00:21:26,893 --> 00:21:30,193 "such legs when I have so magnificent a crown?" 452 00:21:30,195 --> 00:21:33,596 At that moment he scented a panther and in an instant 453 00:21:33,598 --> 00:21:35,732 was bounding away through the forest. 454 00:21:35,734 --> 00:21:38,401 But as he ran his wide-spreading antlers caught in the 455 00:21:38,403 --> 00:21:41,572 branches of the trees, and soon the Panther overtook him. 456 00:21:41,574 --> 00:21:44,475 Then the Stag perceived that the legs of which he was 457 00:21:44,477 --> 00:21:47,010 so ashamed would have saved him had it not been 458 00:21:47,012 --> 00:21:49,345 for the useless ornaments on his head. 459 00:21:49,347 --> 00:21:53,484 We often make much of the ornamental and despise the useful. 460 00:21:53,486 --> 00:21:56,088 I love the Fairy Tale Valley. 461 00:21:57,522 --> 00:22:00,623 The peacock, they say, did not at first have the beautiful 462 00:22:00,625 --> 00:22:03,526 feathers in which he now takes so much pride. 463 00:22:03,528 --> 00:22:07,198 These, Juno, whose favorite he was, granted to him one day 464 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:10,100 when he begged her for a train of feathers to distinguish 465 00:22:10,102 --> 00:22:12,068 him from the other birds. 466 00:22:12,070 --> 00:22:15,838 Then, decked in his finery, gleaming with emerald, gold, 467 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:19,209 purple, and azure, he strutted proudly among the birds. 468 00:22:19,211 --> 00:22:21,711 All regarded him with envy. 469 00:22:21,713 --> 00:22:23,546 Even the most beautiful pheasant could 470 00:22:23,548 --> 00:22:25,382 see that his beauty was surpassed. 471 00:22:25,384 --> 00:22:28,651 Presently the peacock saw an eagle soaring high 472 00:22:28,653 --> 00:22:31,488 up in the blue sky and felt a desire to fly, 473 00:22:31,490 --> 00:22:33,524 as he had been accustomed to do. 474 00:22:33,526 --> 00:22:35,926 Lifting his wings he tried to rise from the ground, 475 00:22:35,928 --> 00:22:38,796 but the weight of his magnificent train held him down. 476 00:22:38,798 --> 00:22:41,998 Instead of flying up to greet the first rays of the morning 477 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,302 sun or to bathe in the rosy light among the floating clouds 478 00:22:45,304 --> 00:22:48,671 at sunset, he would have to walk the ground more encumbered 479 00:22:48,673 --> 00:22:52,676 and oppressed than any common barnyard fowl. 480 00:22:52,678 --> 00:22:56,646 Do not sacrifice your freedom for the sake of pomp and show. 481 00:22:56,648 --> 00:22:57,482 Weehoo! 482 00:22:59,919 --> 00:23:01,151 So much fun! 483 00:23:01,153 --> 00:23:04,020 I almost forgot we were on an Easter egg hunt. 484 00:23:04,022 --> 00:23:05,922 Which way now Wilma? 485 00:23:05,924 --> 00:23:10,227 Well I don't see any clue where the egg might've landed. 486 00:23:10,229 --> 00:23:12,131 So what do we do now? 487 00:23:13,665 --> 00:23:15,599 I have to go with my chicken senses. 488 00:23:15,601 --> 00:23:17,601 (SQUAWKS) 489 00:23:17,603 --> 00:23:19,705 I'd say it went that way. 490 00:23:21,673 --> 00:23:23,841 You're the best Wilma. 491 00:23:23,843 --> 00:23:24,677 Let's go. 492 00:23:27,346 --> 00:23:29,246 Is that a donkey down there? 493 00:23:29,248 --> 00:23:30,349 It's Daisy! 494 00:23:31,217 --> 00:23:33,616 Daisy the donkey, oh my! 495 00:23:33,618 --> 00:23:35,018 Let's go hear a story. 496 00:23:35,020 --> 00:23:36,219 Let's go. 497 00:23:36,221 --> 00:23:38,021 I wouldn't miss this for the world. 498 00:23:38,023 --> 00:23:39,555 Hello Daisy. 499 00:23:39,557 --> 00:23:42,191 My name is Benny and this is my friend Wilma the chicken. 500 00:23:42,193 --> 00:23:44,928 We're on an Easter egg hunt, but we were wondering 501 00:23:44,930 --> 00:23:48,766 if you could tell us a story before we move on. 502 00:23:48,768 --> 00:23:52,001 An old lion, whose teeth and claws were so worn that it 503 00:23:52,003 --> 00:23:54,904 was not so easy for him to get food as in his younger days, 504 00:23:54,906 --> 00:23:57,106 pretended that he was sick. 505 00:23:57,108 --> 00:24:00,009 He took care to let all his neighbors know about it, 506 00:24:00,011 --> 00:24:03,146 and then lay down in his cave to wait for visitors. 507 00:24:03,148 --> 00:24:05,516 And when they came to offer him their sympathy, 508 00:24:05,518 --> 00:24:08,352 he ate them up one by one. 509 00:24:08,354 --> 00:24:12,789 The fox came too, but he was very cautious about it. 510 00:24:12,791 --> 00:24:15,124 Standing at a safe distance from the cave, 511 00:24:15,126 --> 00:24:17,960 he inquired politely after the lion's health. 512 00:24:17,962 --> 00:24:21,065 The lion replied that he was very ill indeed, 513 00:24:21,067 --> 00:24:23,933 and asked the fox to step in for a moment. 514 00:24:23,935 --> 00:24:27,203 But Master Fox very wisely stayed outside, 515 00:24:27,205 --> 00:24:31,872 thanking the lion very kindly for the invitation. 516 00:24:31,874 --> 00:24:33,576 "I should be glad to do as you ask," he added, 517 00:24:33,578 --> 00:24:36,013 "but I have noticed that there are many footprints 518 00:24:36,015 --> 00:24:38,716 "leading into your cave and none coming out. 519 00:24:38,718 --> 00:24:41,184 "Pray tell me, how do your visitors find their 520 00:24:41,186 --> 00:24:42,686 "way out again?" 521 00:24:42,688 --> 00:24:45,456 Take warning from the misfortunes of others. 522 00:24:45,458 --> 00:24:48,057 I think we have time for one more. 523 00:24:48,059 --> 00:24:50,294 What do you say Daisy? 524 00:24:50,296 --> 00:24:52,962 A lion and a man chanced to travel in company 525 00:24:52,964 --> 00:24:54,430 through the forest. 526 00:24:54,432 --> 00:24:56,232 They soon began to quarrel, for each of them boasted 527 00:24:56,234 --> 00:24:59,803 that he and his kind were far superior to the other 528 00:24:59,805 --> 00:25:02,439 both in strength and mind. 529 00:25:02,441 --> 00:25:04,708 Now they reached a clearing in the forest 530 00:25:04,710 --> 00:25:06,744 and there stood a statue. 531 00:25:06,746 --> 00:25:09,145 It was a representation of Hercules 532 00:25:09,147 --> 00:25:12,216 in the act of tearing the jaws of the Nemean lion. 533 00:25:12,218 --> 00:25:15,084 "See," said the man, "that's how strong we are. 534 00:25:15,086 --> 00:25:18,122 "The King of Beasts is like wax in our hands." 535 00:25:18,124 --> 00:25:21,525 "Ho!" laughed the lion, "a man made that statue. 536 00:25:21,527 --> 00:25:23,727 "It would have been quite a different scene 537 00:25:23,729 --> 00:25:26,095 "had a lion made it." 538 00:25:26,097 --> 00:25:27,930 It all depends on the point of view, 539 00:25:27,932 --> 00:25:29,932 and who tells the story. 540 00:25:29,934 --> 00:25:31,602 BENNY: Awesome! 541 00:25:31,604 --> 00:25:33,536 DAISY: There was once an ass whose master 542 00:25:33,538 --> 00:25:35,538 also owned a lap dog. 543 00:25:35,540 --> 00:25:38,709 This dog was a favorite and received many a pat and kind 544 00:25:38,711 --> 00:25:42,278 word from his master, as well as choice bits from his plate. 545 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,382 Every day the dog would run to meet the master, frisking 546 00:25:45,384 --> 00:25:49,152 playfully about and leaping up to lick his hands and face. 547 00:25:49,154 --> 00:25:51,955 All this the ass saw with much discontent. 548 00:25:51,957 --> 00:25:55,057 Though he was well fed, he had much work to do; 549 00:25:55,059 --> 00:25:58,661 besides, the master hardly ever took any notice of him. 550 00:25:58,663 --> 00:26:02,199 Now the jealous ass got it into his silly head that all he 551 00:26:02,201 --> 00:26:06,068 had to do to win his master's favor was to act like the dog. 552 00:26:06,070 --> 00:26:08,271 So one day he left his stable 553 00:26:08,273 --> 00:26:11,872 and clattered eagerly into the house. 554 00:26:11,874 --> 00:26:13,410 Finding his master seated at the dinner table, 555 00:26:13,412 --> 00:26:16,546 he kicked up his heels and, with a loud bray, pranced 556 00:26:16,548 --> 00:26:20,484 giddily around the table, upsetting it as he did so. 557 00:26:20,486 --> 00:26:23,219 Then he planted his forefeet on his master's knees 558 00:26:23,221 --> 00:26:25,788 and rolled out his tongue to lick the master's face, 559 00:26:25,790 --> 00:26:28,191 as he had seen the dog do. 560 00:26:28,193 --> 00:26:31,929 But his weight upset the chair, and ass and man rolled 561 00:26:31,931 --> 00:26:35,532 over together in the pile of broken dishes from the table. 562 00:26:35,534 --> 00:26:38,201 The master was much alarmed at the strange behavior 563 00:26:38,203 --> 00:26:41,138 of the ass, and calling for help, soon attracted 564 00:26:41,140 --> 00:26:43,273 the attention of the servants. 565 00:26:43,275 --> 00:26:45,776 When they saw the danger the master was in from the clumsy 566 00:26:45,778 --> 00:26:48,946 beast, they set upon the ass and drove him with kicks 567 00:26:48,948 --> 00:26:51,113 and blows back to the stable. 568 00:26:51,115 --> 00:26:53,217 There they left him to mourn the foolishness 569 00:26:53,219 --> 00:26:56,253 that had brought him nothing but a sound beating. 570 00:26:56,255 --> 00:26:59,389 Behavior that is regarded as agreeable in one 571 00:26:59,391 --> 00:27:02,661 is very rude and impertinent in another. 572 00:27:04,063 --> 00:27:07,230 Do not try to gain favor by acting in a way that is contrary 573 00:27:07,232 --> 00:27:09,699 to your own nature and character. 574 00:27:09,701 --> 00:27:11,602 You're the best Daisy. 575 00:27:11,604

milk pail 578 00:27:18,477 --> 00:27:21,010 balanced nicely on her head. 579 00:27:21,012 --> 00:27:23,247 As she walked along, her pretty head was busy 580 00:27:23,249 --> 00:27:25,414 with plans for the days to come. 581 00:27:25,416 --> 00:27:28,218 "This good, rich milk," she mused, 582 00:27:28,220 --> 00:27:30,754 "will give me plenty of cream to churn. 583 00:27:30,756 --> 00:27:32,855 "The butter I make I will take to market, 584 00:27:32,857 --> 00:27:34,591 "and with the money I get for it 585 00:27:34,593 --> 00:27:36,793 "I will buy a lot of eggs for hatching. 586 00:27:36,795 --> 00:27:38,929 "How nice it will be when they are all hatched 587 00:27:38,931 --> 00:27:41,131 "and the yard is full of fine young chicks. 588 00:27:41,133 --> 00:27:44,267 "Then when May Day comes I will sell them, and with the 589 00:27:44,269 --> 00:27:47,770 "money I'll buy a lovely new dress to wear to the fair. 590 00:27:47,772 --> 00:27:49,672 "All the young men will look at me, 591 00:27:49,674 --> 00:27:52,976 "but I shall very quickly send them about their business." 592 00:27:52,978 --> 00:27:55,077 As she thought of how she would settle that matter, 593 00:27:55,079 --> 00:27:58,282 she tossed her head scornfully, and down fell the pail 594 00:27:58,284 --> 00:27:59,815 of milk to the ground. 595 00:27:59,817 --> 00:28:03,687 And all the milk flowed out, and with it vanished butter and 596 00:28:03,689 --> 00:28:07,860 eggs and chicks and new dress and all the milkmaid's pride. 597 00:28:09,327 --> 00:28:12,496 Do not count your chickens before they are hatched. 598 00:28:12,498 --> 00:28:13,332 Weehoo! 599 00:28:16,402 --> 00:28:19,236 Look down there, something twinkling in the grass. 600 00:28:19,238 --> 00:28:21,203 It could be the egg. 601 00:28:21,205 --> 00:28:22,805 Look Wilma. 602 00:28:22,807 --> 00:28:25,776 We're flying right over Donna's pond. 603 00:28:25,778 --> 00:28:29,114 Let's go say hi and listen to a story. 604 00:28:36,355 --> 00:28:37,921 Hello there Donna. 605 00:28:37,923 --> 00:28:41,224 We're on an egg hunt, but we were wondering if... 606 00:28:41,226 --> 00:28:43,125 If you'd tell us a story. 607 00:28:43,127 --> 00:28:44,961 A lion lay asleep in the forest, 608 00:28:44,963 --> 00:28:48,332 his great head resting on his paws. 609 00:28:48,334 --> 00:28:51,735 A timid little mouse came upon him unexpectedly, 610 00:28:51,737 --> 00:28:54,805 and in her fright and haste to get away, 611 00:28:54,807 --> 00:28:57,440 ran across the lion's nose. 612 00:28:57,442 --> 00:29:01,545 Roused from his nap, the lion laid his huge paw angrily 613 00:29:01,547 --> 00:29:04,347 on the tiny creature to kill her. 614 00:29:04,349 --> 00:29:07,851 "Spare me!" begged the poor mouse. 615 00:29:07,853 --> 00:29:12,024 "Please let me go and some day I will surely repay you." 616 00:29:13,459 --> 00:29:17,193 The lion was much amused to think that a mouse could ever 617 00:29:17,195 --> 00:29:21,465 help him, but he was generous and finally let the mouse go. 618 00:29:21,467 --> 00:29:25,568 Some days later, while stalking his prey in the forest, 619 00:29:25,570 --> 00:29:30,140 the lion was caught in the toils of a hunter's net. 620 00:29:30,142 --> 00:29:33,943 Unable to free himself, he filled the forest with 621 00:29:33,945 --> 00:29:35,446 his angry roaring. 622 00:29:36,882 --> 00:29:39,583 The mouse knew the voice and quickly found the lion 623 00:29:39,585 --> 00:29:41,250 struggling in the net. 624 00:29:41,252 --> 00:29:43,719 Running to one of the great ropes that bound him, 625 00:29:43,721 --> 00:29:47,893 she gnawed it until it parted, and soon the lion was free. 626 00:29:49,294 --> 00:29:52,595 "You laughed when I said I would repay you," said the mouse. 627 00:29:52,597 --> 00:29:56,400 "Now you see that even a mouse can help a lion." 628 00:29:56,402 --> 00:29:59,068 A kindness is never wasted. 629 00:29:59,070 --> 00:30:01,438 One more, please Donna. 630 00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:04,607 A shepherd boy tended his master's sheep 631 00:30:04,609 --> 00:30:08,478 near a dark forest not far from the village. 632 00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:12,282 Soon he found life in the pasture very dull. 633 00:30:12,284 --> 00:30:16,486 All he could do to amuse himself was to talk 634 00:30:16,488 --> 00:30:20,190 to his dog or play on his shepherd's pipe. 635 00:30:20,192 --> 00:30:24,326 One day as he sat watching the sheep and the quiet forest, 636 00:30:24,328 --> 00:30:27,564 and thinking what he would do should he see a wolf, 637 00:30:27,566 --> 00:30:30,600 he thought of a plan to amuse himself. 638 00:30:30,602 --> 00:30:33,870 His master had told him to call for help should a wolf 639 00:30:33,872 --> 00:30:37,774 attack the flock, and the villagers would drive it away. 640 00:30:37,776 --> 00:30:41,010 So now, though he had not seen anything that even looked 641 00:30:41,012 --> 00:30:44,480 like a wolf, he ran toward the village shouting 642 00:30:44,482 --> 00:30:47,653 at the top of his voice, "Wolf! Wolf!" 643 00:30:49,087 --> 00:30:51,688 As he expected, the villagers who heard the cry dropped 644 00:30:51,690 --> 00:30:55,158 their work and ran in great excitement to the pasture, 645 00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:58,260 but when they got there they found the boy doubled 646 00:30:58,262 --> 00:31:02,431 up with laughter at the trick he had played on them. 647 00:31:02,433 --> 00:31:06,436 A few days later the shepherd boy again shouted, 648 00:31:06,438 --> 00:31:07,539 "Wolf! Wolf!" 649 00:31:09,173 --> 00:31:11,807 Again the villagers ran to help him, 650 00:31:11,809 --> 00:31:14,577 only to be laughed at again. 651 00:31:14,579 --> 00:31:19,382 Then one evening as the sun was setting behind the forest 652 00:31:19,384 --> 00:31:22,285 and the shadows were creeping out over the pasture, 653 00:31:22,287 --> 00:31:25,689 a wolf really did spring from the underbrush 654 00:31:25,691 --> 00:31:27,790 and fall upon the sheep. 655 00:31:27,792 --> 00:31:30,026 In terror the boy ran toward the village 656 00:31:30,028 --> 00:31:31,864 shouting "Wolf! Wolf!" 657 00:31:33,298 --> 00:31:36,099 But though the villagers heard the cry, 658 00:31:36,101 --> 00:31:39,536 they did not run to help him as they had before. 659 00:31:39,538 --> 00:31:41,805 "He cannot fool us again. 660 00:31:41,807 --> 00:31:45,208 "He cannot fool us again," they said. 661 00:31:45,210 --> 00:31:47,978 The wolf killed a great many of the boy's sheep 662 00:31:47,980 --> 00:31:51,547 and then slipped away into the forest. 663 00:31:51,549 --> 00:31:55,619 Liars are not believed even when they speak the truth. 664 00:31:55,621 --> 00:31:58,488 That was a great story. 665 00:31:58,490 --> 00:32:00,457 Please tell us another. 666 00:32:00,459 --> 00:32:02,959 A gnat flew over the meadow with much buzzing 667 00:32:02,961 --> 00:32:05,828 for so small a creature and settled on the tip 668 00:32:05,830 --> 00:32:08,597 of one of the horns of a bull. 669 00:32:08,599 --> 00:32:12,701 After he had rested a short time, he made ready to fly away, 670 00:32:12,703 --> 00:32:16,238 but before he left he begged the bull's pardon 671 00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:20,177 for having used his horn for a resting place. 672 00:32:20,179 --> 00:32:24,314 "You must be very glad to have me go now," he said. 673 00:32:24,316 --> 00:32:28,218 "It's all the same to me," replied the bull. 674 00:32:28,220 --> 00:32:31,188 "I did not even know you were there." 675 00:32:31,190 --> 00:32:34,324 We are often of greater importance in our own eyes 676 00:32:34,326 --> 00:32:37,160 than in the eyes of our neighbor. 677 00:32:37,162 --> 00:32:41,030 The smaller the mind, the greater the conceit. 678 00:32:41,032 --> 00:32:43,967 We can surely stay for one more. 679 00:32:43,969 --> 00:32:47,003 DONNA: Two travelers, walking in the noonday sun, 680 00:32:47,005 --> 00:32:51,507 sought the shade of a wide-spreading tree to rest. 681 00:32:51,509 --> 00:32:54,510 As they lay looking up among the pleasant leaves, 682 00:32:54,512 --> 00:32:58,081 they saw that it was a Plane Tree. 683 00:32:58,083 --> 00:33:01,084 "How useless is the Plane!" said one of them. 684 00:33:01,086 --> 00:33:03,018 "It bears no fruit whatever, 685 00:33:03,020 --> 00:33:06,189 "and only serves to litter the ground with leaves." 686 00:33:06,191 --> 00:33:10,559 "Ungrateful creatures." said a voice from the Plane Tree. 687 00:33:10,561 --> 00:33:12,528 "You lie here in my cooling shade, 688 00:33:12,530 --> 00:33:14,597 "and yet you say I am useless. 689 00:33:14,599 --> 00:33:17,066 "Thus ungratefully, oh Jupiter, 690 00:33:17,068 --> 00:33:19,870 "do men receive their blessings." 691 00:33:19,872 --> 00:33:24,076 Our best blessings are often the least appreciated. 692 00:33:27,346 --> 00:33:28,911 I think we're getting close Wilma. 693 00:33:28,913 --> 00:33:30,212 What do you think? 694 00:33:30,214 --> 00:33:32,148 I think so too, but wait, 695 00:33:32,150 --> 00:33:35,684 I think I see egg tracks over there. 696 00:33:35,686 --> 00:33:36,819 (GASPS) 697 00:33:36,821 --> 00:33:39,055 The Easter egg rolled down that way. 698 00:33:39,057 --> 00:33:40,392 Let's follow it. 699 00:33:42,260 --> 00:33:44,894 Look over there, it's Frida the frog, 700 00:33:44,896 --> 00:33:48,530 the best amphibian storyteller in Fairy Tale Valley. 701 00:33:48,532 --> 00:33:50,101 Let's go see her. 702 00:33:54,038 --> 00:33:55,271 Hello there. 703 00:33:55,273 --> 00:33:57,172 My name is Benny the Easter Bunny, 704 00:33:57,174 --> 00:33:59,508 and this is my friend Wilma. 705 00:33:59,510 --> 00:34:03,145 We're looking for a very special Easter egg. 706 00:34:03,147 --> 00:34:05,849 We think it rolled down that way but before we follow it, 707 00:34:05,851 --> 00:34:09,019 we would love to hear a story from you. 708 00:34:09,021 --> 00:34:11,921 A wild boar was sharpening his tusks busily against 709 00:34:11,923 --> 00:34:15,358 the stump of a tree, when a fox happened by. 710 00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:17,927 Now the fox was always looking for a chance to make 711 00:34:17,929 --> 00:34:21,164 fun of his neighbors, so he made a great show of looking 712 00:34:21,166 --> 00:34:25,135 anxiously about, as if in fear of some hidden enemy. 713 00:34:25,137 --> 00:34:27,604 But the boar kept right on with his work. 714 00:34:27,606 --> 00:34:32,441 "Why are you doing that?" asked the fox at last with a grin. 715 00:34:32,443 --> 00:34:34,878 "There isn't any danger that I can see." 716 00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:38,847 "True enough," replied the boar, "but when danger does come 717 00:34:38,849 --> 00:34:41,751 "there will not be time for such work as this. 718 00:34:41,753 --> 00:34:44,320 "My weapons will have to be ready for use then, 719 00:34:44,322 --> 00:34:46,555 "or I shall suffer for it." 720 00:34:46,557 --> 00:34:49,858 Preparedness for war is the best guarantee of peace. 721 00:34:49,860 --> 00:34:52,362 That was a great story Frida. 722 00:34:52,364 --> 00:34:54,130 Can you tell us another? 723 00:34:54,132 --> 00:34:56,833 An ass and a fox had become close comrades, 724 00:34:56,835 --> 00:35:00,135 and were constantly in each other's company. 725 00:35:00,137 --> 00:35:02,871 While the ass cropped a fresh bit of greens, 726 00:35:02,873 --> 00:35:05,407 the fox would devour a chicken from the neighboring 727 00:35:05,409 --> 00:35:09,112 farmyard or a bit of cheese filched from the dairy. 728 00:35:09,114 --> 00:35:12,014 One day the pair unexpectedly met a lion. 729 00:35:12,016 --> 00:35:14,217 The ass was very much frightened, 730 00:35:14,219 --> 00:35:16,418 but the fox calmed his fears. 731 00:35:16,420 --> 00:35:18,787 "I will talk to him," he said. 732 00:35:18,789 --> 00:35:21,791 So the fox walked boldly up to the lion. 733 00:35:21,793 --> 00:35:24,661 "Your highness," he said in an undertone, 734 00:35:24,663 --> 00:35:26,795 so the ass could not hear him, 735 00:35:26,797 --> 00:35:28,865 "I've got a fine scheme in my head. 736 00:35:28,867 --> 00:35:32,369 "If you promise not to hurt me, I will lead that foolish 737 00:35:32,371 --> 00:35:35,637 "creature yonder into a pit where he can't get out, 738 00:35:35,639 --> 00:35:38,108 "and you can feast at your pleasure." 739 00:35:38,110 --> 00:35:41,443 The lion agreed and the fox returned to the ass. 740 00:35:41,445 --> 00:35:44,947 "I made him promise not to hurt us," said the fox. 741 00:35:44,949 --> 00:35:48,284 "But come, I know a good place to hide till he is gone." 742 00:35:48,286 --> 00:35:51,787 So the fox led the ass into a deep pit. 743 00:35:51,789 --> 00:35:55,391 But when the lion saw that the ass was his for the taking, 744 00:35:55,393 --> 00:35:58,561 he first of all struck down the traitor fox. 745 00:35:58,563 --> 00:36:01,630 Traitors may expect treachery. 746 00:36:01,632 --> 00:36:03,833 One more Frida, please. 747 00:36:03,835 --> 00:36:07,470 The birds and the beasts declared war against each other. 748 00:36:07,472 --> 00:36:09,671 No compromise was possible, 749 00:36:09,673 --> 00:36:12,175 and so they went at it tooth and claw. 750 00:36:12,177 --> 00:36:15,144 It is said the quarrel grew out of the persecution 751 00:36:15,146 --> 00:36:19,048 the race of geese suffered at the teeth of the fox family. 752 00:36:19,050 --> 00:36:22,084 The beasts, too, had cause for fight. 753 00:36:22,086 --> 00:36:24,720 The eagle was constantly pouncing on the hare, 754 00:36:24,722 --> 00:36:27,557 and the owl dined daily on mice. 755 00:36:27,559 --> 00:36:29,691 It was a terrible battle. 756 00:36:29,693 --> 00:36:33,295 Now the bat family had not openly joined either side. 757 00:36:33,297 --> 00:36:35,465 They were a very politic race. 758 00:36:35,467 --> 00:36:38,168 So when they saw the birds getting the better of it, 759 00:36:38,170 --> 00:36:40,637 they were birds for all there was in it. 760 00:36:40,639 --> 00:36:43,005 But when the tide of battle turned, 761 00:36:43,007 --> 00:36:44,807 they immediately sided with the beasts. 762 00:36:44,809 --> 00:36:47,242 When the battle was over, the conduct of the bats 763 00:36:47,244 --> 00:36:49,813 was discussed at the peace conference. 764 00:36:49,815 --> 00:36:53,883 Such deceit was unpardonable, and birds and beasts made 765 00:36:53,885 --> 00:36:56,985 common cause to drive out the bats. 766 00:36:56,987 --> 00:37:00,055 And since then the bat family hides in dark towers 767 00:37:00,057 --> 00:37:04,159 and deserted ruins, flying out only in the night. 768 00:37:04,161 --> 00:37:06,929 The deceitful have no friends. 769 00:37:06,931 --> 00:37:08,898 We should be on our way. 770 00:37:08,900 --> 00:37:11,800 How about one more story before we go? 771 00:37:11,802 --> 00:37:15,505 Just as a great bear rushed to seize a stray kid, 772 00:37:15,507 --> 00:37:18,974 a lion leaped from another direction upon the same prey. 773 00:37:18,976 --> 00:37:21,911 The two fought furiously for the prize until they had 774 00:37:21,913 --> 00:37:25,380 received so many wounds that both sank down unable 775 00:37:25,382 --> 00:37:27,316 to continue the battle. 776 00:37:27,318 --> 00:37:29,985 Just then a fox dashed up, and seizing the kid, 777 00:37:29,987 --> 00:37:32,287 made off with it as fast as he could go, 778 00:37:32,289 --> 00:37:35,724 while the lion and the bear looked on in helpless rage. 779 00:37:35,726 --> 00:37:38,394 "How much better it would have been," they said, 780 00:37:38,396 --> 00:37:41,264 "to have shared in a friendly spirit." 781 00:37:41,266 --> 00:37:45,436 Those who have all the toil do not always get the profit. 782 00:37:47,304 --> 00:37:49,606 I think I'm getting the hang of this. 783 00:37:49,608 --> 00:37:51,840 I see egg tracks below. 784 00:37:51,842 --> 00:37:55,110 (GASPS) I think the egg rolled down that-away. 785 00:37:55,112 --> 00:37:56,646 You're doing great Benny. 786 00:37:56,648 --> 00:38:00,083 Hey, look down there on that tree stump. 787 00:38:00,085 --> 00:38:01,684 There's a squirrel. 788 00:38:01,686 --> 00:38:03,552 That's Quincy the squirrel. 789 00:38:03,554 --> 00:38:05,956 BENNY: Let's go visit him. 790 00:38:12,097 --> 00:38:14,898 A dog had learned to carry his master's dinner 791 00:38:14,900 --> 00:38:16,499 to him every day. 792 00:38:16,501 --> 00:38:18,735 He was very faithful to his duty, though the smell 793 00:38:18,737 --> 00:38:21,304 of the good things in the basket tempted him. 794 00:38:21,306 --> 00:38:23,639 The dogs in the neighborhood noticed him carrying 795 00:38:23,641 --> 00:38:26,342 the basket and soon discovered what was in it. 796 00:38:26,344 --> 00:38:28,744 They made several attempts to steal it from him, 797 00:38:28,746 --> 00:38:30,914 but he always guarded it faithfully. 798 00:38:30,916 --> 00:38:33,749 Then one day all the dogs in the neighborhood got together 799 00:38:33,751 --> 00:38:36,019 and met him on his way with the basket. 800 00:38:36,021 --> 00:38:38,086 The dog tried to run away from them, 801 00:38:38,088 --> 00:38:40,222 but at last he stopped to argue. 802 00:38:40,224 --> 00:38:42,124 That was his mistake. 803 00:38:42,126 --> 00:38:44,760 They soon made him feel so ridiculous that he dropped 804 00:38:44,762 --> 00:38:47,597 the basket and seized a large piece of roast meat 805 00:38:47,599 --> 00:38:49,766 intended for his master's dinner. 806 00:38:49,768 --> 00:38:52,534 "Very well," he said, "you divide the rest." 807 00:38:52,536 --> 00:38:56,405 Do not stop to argue with temptation. 808 00:38:56,407 --> 00:38:59,608 Another story Quincy, please. 809 00:38:59,610 --> 00:39:02,211 A jackdaw chanced to fly over the garden 810 00:39:02,213 --> 00:39:03,880 of the King's palace. 811 00:39:03,882 --> 00:39:07,249 There he saw with much wonder and envy a flock of royal 812 00:39:07,251 --> 00:39:10,220 peacocks in all the glory of their splendid plumage. 813 00:39:10,222 --> 00:39:13,121 Now the black jackdaw was not a very handsome bird, 814 00:39:13,123 --> 00:39:15,224 nor very refined in manner. 815 00:39:15,226 --> 00:39:17,961 Yet he imagined that all he needed to make himself fit 816 00:39:17,963 --> 00:39:21,231 for the society of the peacocks was a dress like theirs. 817 00:39:21,233 --> 00:39:24,200 So he picked up some castoff feathers of the peacocks 818 00:39:24,202 --> 00:39:27,202 and stuck them among his own black plumes. 819 00:39:27,204 --> 00:39:30,472 Dressed in his borrowed finery he strutted loftily 820 00:39:30,474 --> 00:39:32,641 among the birds of his own kind. 821 00:39:32,643 --> 00:39:35,110 Then he flew down into the garden among the peacocks. 822 00:39:35,112 --> 00:39:37,179 But they soon saw who he was. 823 00:39:37,181 --> 00:39:40,349 Angry at the cheat, they flew at him, plucked away 824 00:39:40,351 --> 00:39:42,885 the borrowed feathers and also some of his own. 825 00:39:42,887 --> 00:39:45,887 The poor jackdaw returned sadly to his former companions. 826 00:39:45,889 --> 00:39:48,490 There another unpleasant surprise awaited him. 827 00:39:48,492 --> 00:39:51,394 They had not forgotten his superior airs toward them, 828 00:39:51,396 --> 00:39:53,028 and to punish him, 829 00:39:53,030 --> 00:39:57,367 they drove him away with a rain of pecks and jeers. 830 00:39:57,369 --> 00:40:00,302 Borrowed feathers do not make fine birds. 831 00:40:00,304 --> 00:40:01,771 Tell us another. 832 00:40:01,773 --> 00:40:04,807 It happened once upon a time that a certain Greek ship 833 00:40:04,809 --> 00:40:08,845 bound for Athens was wrecked off the coast close to Piraeus, 834 00:40:08,847 --> 00:40:10,579 the port of Athens. 835 00:40:10,581 --> 00:40:13,416 Had it not been for the dolphins, who at that time were very 836 00:40:13,418 --> 00:40:16,753 friendly toward mankind and especially toward Athenians, 837 00:40:16,755 --> 00:40:18,253 all would have perished. 838 00:40:18,255 --> 00:40:20,255 But the dolphins took the shipwrecked people 839 00:40:20,257 --> 00:40:22,758 on their backs and swam with them to shore. 840 00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:25,561 Now it was the custom among the Greeks to take their pet 841 00:40:25,563 --> 00:40:28,998 monkeys and dogs with them whenever they went on a voyage. 842 00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:32,501 So when one of the dolphins saw a monkey struggling 843 00:40:32,503 --> 00:40:35,070 in the water, he thought it was a man, 844 00:40:35,072 --> 00:40:37,240 and made the monkey climb on his back. 845 00:40:37,242 --> 00:40:39,909 Then off he swam with him toward the shore. 846 00:40:39,911 --> 00:40:42,311 The monkey sat up, grave and dignified, 847 00:40:42,313 --> 00:40:44,213 on the dolphin's back. 848 00:40:44,215 --> 00:40:46,648 "You are a citizen of illustrious Athens, are you not?" 849 00:40:46,650 --> 00:40:48,217 asked the dolphin politely. 850 00:40:48,219 --> 00:40:50,452 "Yes," answered the monkey, proudly. 851 00:40:50,454 --> 00:40:53,121 "My family is one of the noblest in the city." 852 00:40:53,123 --> 00:40:54,990 "Indeed," said the dolphin. 853 00:40:54,992 --> 00:40:57,360 "Then of course you often visit Piraeus?" 854 00:40:57,362 --> 00:40:59,195 "Yes, yes," replied the monkey. 855 00:40:59,197 --> 00:41:00,697 "Indeed, I do. 856 00:41:00,699 --> 00:41:02,030 "I am with him constantly. 857 00:41:02,032 --> 00:41:03,599 "Piraeus is my very best friend." 858 00:41:03,601 --> 00:41:06,436 This answer took the dolphin by surprise, and turning 859 00:41:06,438 --> 00:41:09,972 his head, he now saw what it was he was carrying. 860 00:41:09,974 --> 00:41:13,075 Without more ado, he dived and left the foolish monkey 861 00:41:13,077 --> 00:41:15,644 to take care of himself, while he swam off 862 00:41:15,646 --> 00:41:17,880 in search of some human being to save. 863 00:41:17,882 --> 00:41:20,115 One falsehood leads to another. 864 00:41:20,117 --> 00:41:21,684 WILMA: We should leave soon Quincy, 865 00:41:21,686 --> 00:41:24,320 but we would love to hear one more story. 866 00:41:24,322 --> 00:41:26,956 QUINCY: An ass was feeding in a pasture near a wood 867 00:41:26,958 --> 00:41:30,492 when he saw a wolf lurking in the shadows along the hedge. 868 00:41:30,494 --> 00:41:32,829 He easily guessed what the wolf had in mind, 869 00:41:32,831 --> 00:41:35,264 and thought of a plan to save himself. 870 00:41:35,266 --> 00:41:38,967 So he pretended he was lame, and began to hobble painfully. 871 00:41:38,969 --> 00:41:41,903 When the wolf came up, he asked the ass what had made 872 00:41:41,905 --> 00:41:44,440 him lame, and the ass replied that he had stepped 873 00:41:44,442 --> 00:41:46,041 on a sharp thorn. 874 00:41:46,043 --> 00:41:49,010 "Please pull it out," he pleaded, groaning as if in pain. 875 00:41:49,012 --> 00:41:51,514 "If you do not, it might stick in your throat 876 00:41:51,516 --> 00:41:53,081 "when you eat me." 877 00:41:53,083 --> 00:41:55,117 The wolf saw the wisdom of the advice, for he wanted 878 00:41:55,119 --> 00:41:58,019 to enjoy his meal without any danger of choking. 879 00:41:58,021 --> 00:42:00,789 So the ass lifted up his foot and the wolf began 880 00:42:00,791 --> 00:42:03,726 to search very closely and carefully for the thorn. 881 00:42:03,728 --> 00:42:07,028 Just then the ass kicked out with all his might, 882 00:42:07,030 --> 00:42:09,766 tumbling the wolf a dozen paces away. 883 00:42:09,768 --> 00:42:12,668 And while the wolf was getting very slowly and painfully 884 00:42:12,670 --> 00:42:15,871 to his feet, the ass galloped away in safety. 885 00:42:15,873 --> 00:42:18,608 "Serves me right," growled the wolf as he crept into 886 00:42:18,610 --> 00:42:23,345 the bushes. "I'm a butcher by trade, not a doctor." 887 00:42:23,347 --> 00:42:25,581 Stick to your own trade. 888 00:42:25,583 --> 00:42:29,421 (TRIUMPHANT ORCHESTRAL MUSIC) 889 00:42:32,389 --> 00:42:34,490 Do you see any clues Wilma? 890 00:42:34,492 --> 00:42:36,659 Yes Benny, look over there. 891 00:42:36,661 --> 00:42:38,327 There is a dent in the grass 892 00:42:38,329 --> 00:42:40,463 and I think the egg landed there but... 893 00:42:40,465 --> 00:42:41,697 But? 894 00:42:41,699 --> 00:42:43,633 Seems like it rolled further down the valley. 895 00:42:43,635 --> 00:42:45,066 Let's chase it! 896 00:42:45,068 --> 00:42:46,235 Wait look over there. 897 00:42:46,237 --> 00:42:48,336 It's Genevieve goat. 898 00:42:48,338 --> 00:42:51,608 We should go see her on our way down. 899 00:42:53,378 --> 00:42:56,979 Some cranes saw a farmer plowing a large field. 900 00:42:56,981 --> 00:42:59,749 When the work of plowing was done, 901 00:42:59,751 --> 00:43:02,517 they patiently watched him sow the seed. 902 00:43:02,519 --> 00:43:05,854 It was their feast, they thought. 903 00:43:05,856 --> 00:43:10,092 So, as soon as the farmer had finished planting 904 00:43:10,094 --> 00:43:13,396 and had gone home, down they flew to the field, 905 00:43:13,398 --> 00:43:16,666 and began to eat as fast as they could. 906 00:43:16,668 --> 00:43:21,170 The farmer, of course, knew the cranes and their ways. 907 00:43:21,172 --> 00:43:25,641 He had had experience with such birds before. 908 00:43:25,643 --> 00:43:29,110 He soon returned to the field with a sling, 909 00:43:29,112 --> 00:43:31,847 but he did not bring any stones with him. 910 00:43:31,849 --> 00:43:35,450 He expected to scare the cranes just by swinging 911 00:43:35,452 --> 00:43:39,822 the sling in the air, and shouting loudly at them. 912 00:43:39,824 --> 00:43:43,892 At first the cranes flew away in great terror, 913 00:43:43,894 --> 00:43:47,530 but they soon began to see that none of them ever got hurt. 914 00:43:47,532 --> 00:43:50,532 They did not even hear the noise of stones whizzing 915 00:43:50,534 --> 00:43:55,271 through the air, and as for words, they would kill nobody. 916 00:43:55,273 --> 00:44:00,141 At last they paid no attention whatever to the farmer. 917 00:44:00,143 --> 00:44:04,613 The farmer saw that he would have to take other measures. 918 00:44:04,615 --> 00:44:07,450 He wanted to save at least some of his grain. 919 00:44:07,452 --> 00:44:09,952 So he loaded his sling with stones. 920 00:44:09,954 --> 00:44:11,987 This had the effect the farmer wanted, 921 00:44:11,989 --> 00:44:16,159 for from that day the cranes visited his field no more. 922 00:44:17,027 --> 00:44:19,362 Bluff and threatening words 923 00:44:19,364 --> 00:44:22,798 are of little value with rascals. 924 00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:27,168 Bluff is no proof that hard fists are lacking. 925 00:44:27,170 --> 00:44:29,838 I wanna hear more Genevieve. 926 00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:32,708 A rich old farmer, who felt that he had not many 927 00:44:32,710 --> 00:44:36,746 more days to live, called his sons to his bedside. 928 00:44:36,748 --> 00:44:41,450 "My sons," he said, "heed what I have to say to you. 929 00:44:41,452 --> 00:44:45,186 "Do not on any account part with the estate that 930 00:44:45,188 --> 00:44:49,090 "has belonged to our family for so many generations. 931 00:44:49,092 --> 00:44:52,663 "Somewhere on it is hidden a rich treasure. 932 00:44:53,831 --> 00:44:57,800 "I do not know the exact spot, but it is there, 933 00:44:57,802 --> 00:45:00,403 "and you will surely find it. 934 00:45:00,405 --> 00:45:04,509 "Spare no energy and leave no spot unturned in your search." 935 00:45:06,744 --> 00:45:10,713 The father died, and no sooner was he in his grave than 936 00:45:10,715 --> 00:45:14,316 the sons set to work digging with all their might, 937 00:45:14,318 --> 00:45:17,385 turning up every foot of ground with their spades, 938 00:45:17,387 --> 00:45:22,090 and going over the whole farm two or three times. 939 00:45:22,092 --> 00:45:26,295 No hidden gold did they find, but at harvest time when 940 00:45:26,297 --> 00:45:29,197 they had settled their accounts and had pocketed a rich 941 00:45:29,199 --> 00:45:32,668 profit far greater than that of any of their neighbors, 942 00:45:32,670 --> 00:45:36,104 they understood that the treasure their father had told them 943 00:45:36,106 --> 00:45:39,374 about was the wealth of a bountiful crop, 944 00:45:39,376 --> 00:45:43,547 and that in their industry had they found the treasure. 945 00:45:46,818 --> 00:45:49,952 Industry is itself a treasure. 946 00:45:49,954 --> 00:45:52,387 You're an amazing storyteller Genevieve. 947 00:45:52,389 --> 00:45:54,956 I'm so glad we met you. 948 00:45:54,958 --> 00:45:58,561 Two pots, one of brass and the other of clay, 949 00:45:58,563 --> 00:46:01,697 stood together on the hearthstone. 950 00:46:01,699 --> 00:46:05,501 One day the brass pot proposed to the earthen pot 951 00:46:05,503 --> 00:46:08,570 that they go out into the world together, 952 00:46:08,572 --> 00:46:12,575 but the earthen pot excused himself, saying that it would 953 00:46:12,577 --> 00:46:17,112 be wiser for him to stay in the corner by the fire. 954 00:46:17,114 --> 00:46:21,150 "It would take so little to break me," he said. 955 00:46:21,152 --> 00:46:23,519 "You know how fragile I am. 956 00:46:23,521 --> 00:46:26,354 "The least shock is sure to shatter me." 957 00:46:26,356 --> 00:46:29,858 "Don't let that keep you at home," urged the brass pot. 958 00:46:29,860 --> 00:46:32,094 "I shall take very good care of you. 959 00:46:32,096 --> 00:46:34,295 "If we should happen to meet anything hard 960 00:46:34,297 --> 00:46:37,234 "I will step between and save you." 961 00:46:38,635 --> 00:46:42,037 So the earthen pot at last consented, and the two set out 962 00:46:42,039 --> 00:46:46,976 side by side, jolting along on three stubby legs first 963 00:46:46,978 --> 00:46:50,278 to this side, then to that, and bumping into each other 964 00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:51,914 at every step. 965 00:46:51,916 --> 00:46:54,249 The earthen pot could not survive that sort 966 00:46:54,251 --> 00:46:56,452 of companionship very long. 967 00:46:56,454 --> 00:47:00,588 They had not gone ten paces before the earthen pot cracked, 968 00:47:00,590 --> 00:47:05,094 and at the next jolt he flew into a thousand pieces. 969 00:47:05,096 --> 00:47:07,697 Equals make the best friends. 970 00:47:07,699 --> 00:47:10,566 One more story Genevieve. 971 00:47:10,568 --> 00:47:13,903 There was once a countryman who possessed the most 972 00:47:13,905 --> 00:47:18,039 wonderful goose you can imagine, for every day when 973 00:47:18,041 --> 00:47:21,342 he visited the nest, the goose had laid a beautiful, 974 00:47:21,344 --> 00:47:23,280 glittering, golden egg. 975 00:47:26,284 --> 00:47:28,150 The countryman took the eggs to market 976 00:47:28,152 --> 00:47:30,519 and soon began to get rich, 977 00:47:30,521 --> 00:47:33,588 but it was not long before he grew impatient 978 00:47:33,590 --> 00:47:36,224 with the goose because she gave him only 979 00:47:36,226 --> 00:47:39,228 a single golden egg a day. 980 00:47:39,230 --> 00:47:41,863 He was not getting rich fast enough. 981 00:47:41,865 --> 00:47:45,266 Then one day, after he had finished counting his money, 982 00:47:45,268 --> 00:47:48,737 the idea came to him that he could get all the golden eggs 983 00:47:48,739 --> 00:47:52,775 at once by killing the goose and cutting it open. 984 00:47:52,777 --> 00:47:57,179 But when the deed was done, not a single golden egg 985 00:47:57,181 --> 00:48:00,918 did he find, and his precious goose was dead. 986 00:48:02,954 --> 00:48:07,125 Those who have plenty want more and so lose all they have. 987 00:48:08,559 --> 00:48:10,793 What a great adventure. 988 00:48:10,795 --> 00:48:15,130 This is the best Easter egg hunt I've ever been on, ever! 989 00:48:15,132 --> 00:48:18,400 We are close to finding our special egg too. 990 00:48:18,402 --> 00:48:20,369 Before we leave Fairy Tale Valley, 991 00:48:20,371 --> 00:48:24,541 let's find Billy the hog and listen to him tell us a story. 992 00:48:31,849 --> 00:48:33,182 Hello there Billy. 993 00:48:33,184 --> 00:48:36,151 We are on our way to find the very special 994 00:48:36,153 --> 00:48:38,887 egg of the Wish Bird of Easter. 995 00:48:38,889 --> 00:48:41,090 We really wanted to hear a story from you 996 00:48:41,092 --> 00:48:43,793 before we completed our Easter egg hunt. 997 00:48:43,795 --> 00:48:45,827 A wolf, lurking near the shepherd's hut, 998 00:48:45,829 --> 00:48:49,831 saw the shepherd and his family feasting on a roasted lamb. 999 00:48:49,833 --> 00:48:52,133 "Aha!" he muttered. 1000 00:48:52,135 --> 00:48:54,570 "What a great shouting and running about there would have 1001 00:48:54,572 --> 00:48:56,938 "been, had they caught me at just the very thing 1002 00:48:56,940 --> 00:48:59,374 "they are doing with so much enjoyment!" 1003 00:48:59,376 --> 00:49:02,478 Men often condemn others for what they see no wrong 1004 00:49:02,480 --> 00:49:04,179 in doing themselves. 1005 00:49:04,181 --> 00:49:06,548 Another story Billy, please. 1006 00:49:06,550 --> 00:49:08,617 A goat strayed away from the flock, 1007 00:49:08,619 --> 00:49:11,019 tempted by a patch of clover. 1008 00:49:11,021 --> 00:49:14,690 The goat herd tried to call it back, but in vain. 1009 00:49:14,692 --> 00:49:16,758 It would not obey him. 1010 00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:19,628 Then he picked up a stone and threw it, 1011 00:49:19,630 --> 00:49:21,963 breaking the goat's horn. 1012 00:49:21,965 --> 00:49:23,798 The goat herd was frightened. 1013 00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:28,003 "Do not tell the master," he begged the goat. 1014 00:49:28,005 --> 00:49:29,671 "No," said the goat, 1015 00:49:29,673 --> 00:49:32,407 "that broken horn can speak for itself." 1016 00:49:32,409 --> 00:49:34,709 Wicked deeds will not stay hid. 1017 00:49:34,711 --> 00:49:37,813 BENNY: Another story Billy, please. 1018 00:49:37,815 --> 00:49:39,682 BILLY: A miser had buried his gold 1019 00:49:39,684 --> 00:49:41,883 in a secret place in his garden. 1020 00:49:41,885 --> 00:49:45,987 Every day he went to the spot, dug up the treasure, 1021 00:49:45,989 --> 00:49:49,891 and counted it piece by piece to make sure it was all there. 1022 00:49:49,893 --> 00:49:53,229 He had made so many trips that a thief, who had been 1023 00:49:53,231 --> 00:49:56,130 observing him, guessed what it was the miser had hidden, 1024 00:49:56,132 --> 00:49:58,400 and one night quietly dug up the treasure 1025 00:49:58,402 --> 00:50:00,034 and made off with it. 1026 00:50:00,036 --> 00:50:02,637 When the miser discovered his loss, 1027 00:50:02,639 --> 00:50:05,407 he was overcome with grief and despair. 1028 00:50:05,409 --> 00:50:09,077 He groaned and cried and tore his hair. 1029 00:50:09,079 --> 00:50:12,146 A passerby heard his cries and asked what had happened. 1030 00:50:12,148 --> 00:50:15,351 "My gold, oh my gold." cried the miser, wildly, 1031 00:50:15,353 --> 00:50:17,286 "someone has robbed me." 1032 00:50:17,288 --> 00:50:20,421 "Your gold, there in that hole? 1033 00:50:20,423 --> 00:50:22,791 "Why did you put it there? 1034 00:50:22,793 --> 00:50:24,760 "Why did you not keep it in the house where you could 1035 00:50:24,762 --> 00:50:26,795 "easily get it when you had to buy things?" 1036 00:50:26,797 --> 00:50:29,565 "Buy?" screamed the miser angrily. 1037 00:50:29,567 --> 00:50:31,666 "Why, I never touched the gold. 1038 00:50:31,668 --> 00:50:34,135 "I couldn't think of spending any of it." 1039 00:50:34,137 --> 00:50:37,171 The stranger picked up a large stone 1040 00:50:37,173 --> 00:50:39,608 and threw it into the hole. 1041 00:50:39,610 --> 00:50:43,412 "If that is the case," he said, "cover up that stone. 1042 00:50:43,414 --> 00:50:47,148 "It is worth just as much to you as the treasure you lost." 1043 00:50:47,150 --> 00:50:51,321 A possession is worth no more than the use we make of it. 1044 00:50:52,856 --> 00:50:55,925 There was once a wolf who got very little to eat because 1045 00:50:55,927 --> 00:50:59,494 the dogs of the village were so wide awake and watchful. 1046 00:50:59,496 --> 00:51:02,363 He was really nothing but skin and bones, 1047 00:51:02,365 --> 00:51:05,266 and it made him very downhearted to think of it. 1048 00:51:05,268 --> 00:51:09,070 One night this wolf happened to fall in with a fine, fat 1049 00:51:09,072 --> 00:51:12,273 house dog who had wandered a little too far from home. 1050 00:51:12,275 --> 00:51:15,577 The wolf would gladly have eaten him then and there, 1051 00:51:15,579 --> 00:51:18,347 but the house dog looked strong enough to leave his marks 1052 00:51:18,349 --> 00:51:20,349 should he try it. 1053 00:51:20,351 --> 00:51:22,684 So the wolf spoke very humbly to the dog, 1054 00:51:22,686 --> 00:51:25,253 complimenting him on his fine appearance. 1055 00:51:25,255 --> 00:51:28,123 "You can be as well-fed as I am if you want to," 1056 00:51:28,125 --> 00:51:29,490 replied the dog. 1057 00:51:29,492 --> 00:51:32,327 "Leave the woods; there you live miserably. 1058 00:51:32,329 --> 00:51:35,998 "Why, you have to fight hard for every bite you get. 1059 00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:40,568 "Follow my example and you will get along beautifully." 1060 00:51:40,570 --> 00:51:43,871 "What must I do?" asked the wolf. 1061 00:51:43,873 --> 00:51:46,675 "Hardly anything," answered the house dog. 1062 00:51:46,677 --> 00:51:50,211 "Chase people who carry canes, bark at beggars, 1063 00:51:50,213 --> 00:51:52,680 "and fawn on the people of the house. 1064 00:51:52,682 --> 00:51:55,516 "In return you will get tidbits of every kind, 1065 00:51:55,518 --> 00:52:00,121 "chicken bones, choice bits of meat, sugar, cake, and much 1066 00:52:00,123 --> 00:52:04,293 "more beside, not to speak of kind words and caresses." 1067 00:52:04,295 --> 00:52:07,563 The wolf had such a beautiful vision of his coming 1068 00:52:07,565 --> 00:52:09,630 happiness that he almost wept. 1069 00:52:09,632 --> 00:52:12,101 But just then he noticed that the hair on the dog's neck 1070 00:52:12,103 --> 00:52:15,304 was worn and the skin was chafed. 1071 00:52:15,306 --> 00:52:17,639 "What is that on your neck?" 1072 00:52:17,641 --> 00:52:19,907 "Nothing at all," replied the dog. 1073 00:52:19,909 --> 00:52:21,244 "What, nothing?" 1074 00:52:22,179 --> 00:52:24,612 "Oh, just a trifle!" 1075 00:52:24,614 --> 00:52:26,615 "But please tell me." 1076 00:52:26,617 --> 00:52:28,684 "Perhaps you see the mark of the collar 1077 00:52:28,686 --> 00:52:30,918 "to which my chain is fastened." 1078 00:52:30,920 --> 00:52:33,688 "What, a chain?" cried the wolf. 1079 00:52:33,690 --> 00:52:36,258 "Don't you go wherever you please?" 1080 00:52:36,260 --> 00:52:39,695 "Not always, but what's the difference?" replied the dog. 1081 00:52:39,697 --> 00:52:42,030 "All the difference in the world. 1082 00:52:42,032 --> 00:52:44,766 "I don't care a rap for your feasts, and I wouldn't take 1083 00:52:44,768 --> 00:52:48,070 "all the tender young lambs in the world at that price." 1084 00:52:48,072 --> 00:52:50,974 And away ran the wolf to the woods. 1085 00:52:52,175 --> 00:52:55,612 There is nothing worth so much as liberty. 1086 00:52:57,347 --> 00:52:58,181 Weehoo! 1087 00:53:00,550 --> 00:53:03,054 I see the egg rolled that-away. 1088 00:53:04,989 --> 00:53:05,820 Where? 1089 00:53:05,822 --> 00:53:07,255 Down that incline. 1090 00:53:07,257 --> 00:53:08,523 We're getting close. 1091 00:53:08,525 --> 00:53:09,858 How do you know? 1092 00:53:09,860 --> 00:53:13,697 My chicken sense. (SQUAWKS) 1093 00:53:15,599 --> 00:53:17,099 Look over there. 1094 00:53:17,101 --> 00:53:20,334 It's the fast-feathered storyteller of Fairy Tale Valley, 1095 00:53:20,336 --> 00:53:22,338 Miss Betty the barn owl. 1096 00:53:24,742 --> 00:53:26,208 Hey there Miss Betty. 1097 00:53:26,210 --> 00:53:28,644 My name is Benny the Easter Bunny, and I'm on a hunt 1098 00:53:28,646 --> 00:53:33,115 for the most precious Easter egg ever with my friend Wilma. 1099 00:53:33,117 --> 00:53:36,284 We wanted to come and hear a story before we find the egg 1100 00:53:36,286 --> 00:53:39,253 and must leave Fairy Tale Valley. 1101 00:53:39,255 --> 00:53:40,923 A hare was making fun of the tortoise 1102 00:53:40,925 --> 00:53:42,791 one day for being so slow. 1103 00:53:42,793 --> 00:53:45,594 "Do you ever get anywhere?" he asked with a mocking laugh. 1104 00:53:45,596 --> 00:53:47,528 "Yes," replied the tortoise, 1105 00:53:47,530 --> 00:53:49,398 "and I get there sooner than you think. 1106 00:53:49,400 --> 00:53:51,432 "I'll run you a race and prove it." 1107 00:53:51,434 --> 00:53:53,836 The hare was much amused at the idea of running a race with 1108 00:53:53,838 --> 00:53:56,905 the tortoise, but for the fun of the thing he agreed. 1109 00:53:56,907 --> 00:53:59,474 So the fox, who had consented to act as a judge, 1110 00:53:59,476 --> 00:54:02,244 marked the distance and started the runners off. 1111 00:54:02,246 --> 00:54:05,113 The hare was soon far out of sight, and to make the tortoise 1112 00:54:05,115 --> 00:54:08,383 feel very deeply how ridiculous it was for him to try 1113 00:54:08,385 --> 00:54:11,887 a race with a hare, he lay down beside the course 1114 00:54:11,889 --> 00:54:14,655 to take a nap until the tortoise should catch up. 1115 00:54:14,657 --> 00:54:17,825 The tortoise meanwhile kept going slowly but steadily, 1116 00:54:17,827 --> 00:54:20,695 and, after a time, passed the place where the hare 1117 00:54:20,697 --> 00:54:23,465 was sleeping, but the hare slept on very peacefully, 1118 00:54:23,467 --> 00:54:25,434 and when at last he did wake up, 1119 00:54:25,436 --> 00:54:27,168 the tortoise was near the goal. 1120 00:54:27,170 --> 00:54:28,737 The hare now ran his swiftest, 1121 00:54:28,739 --> 00:54:31,106 but he could not overtake the tortoise in time. 1122 00:54:31,108 --> 00:54:34,909 The race is not always to the swift. 1123 00:54:34,911 --> 00:54:37,479 A store of honey had been found in a hollow tree, 1124 00:54:37,481 --> 00:54:41,182 and the wasps declared positively that it belonged to them. 1125 00:54:41,184 --> 00:54:44,418 The bees were just as sure that the treasure was theirs. 1126 00:54:44,420 --> 00:54:46,688 The argument grew very pointed, and it looked 1127 00:54:46,690 --> 00:54:49,391 as if the affair could not be settled without a battle, 1128 00:54:49,393 --> 00:54:52,327 when at last, with much good sense, they agreed 1129 00:54:52,329 --> 00:54:54,429 to let a judge decide the matter. 1130 00:54:54,431 --> 00:54:56,498 So they brought the case before the hornet, 1131 00:54:56,500 --> 00:54:59,133 justice of the peace in that part of the woods. 1132 00:54:59,135 --> 00:55:01,836 When the judge called the case, witnesses declared that 1133 00:55:01,838 --> 00:55:04,572 they had seen certain winged creatures in the neighborhood 1134 00:55:04,574 --> 00:55:07,909 of the hollow tree, who hummed loudly, and whose bodies 1135 00:55:07,911 --> 00:55:11,012 were striped, yellow and black, like bees. 1136 00:55:11,014 --> 00:55:13,981 Counsel for the wasps immediately insisted that 1137 00:55:13,983 --> 00:55:17,052 this description fitted his clients exactly. 1138 00:55:17,054 --> 00:55:20,588 Such evidence did not help Judge Hornet to any decision, 1139 00:55:20,590 --> 00:55:23,825 so he adjourned court for six weeks to give him time 1140 00:55:23,827 --> 00:55:25,059 to think it over. 1141 00:55:25,061 --> 00:55:27,329 When the case came up again, both sides 1142 00:55:27,331 --> 00:55:29,430 had a large number of witnesses. 1143 00:55:29,432 --> 00:55:32,133 An ant was first to take the stand, and was about to be 1144 00:55:32,135 --> 00:55:35,369 cross-examined, when a wise old bee addressed the court. 1145 00:55:35,371 --> 00:55:36,905 "Your honor," he said, 1146 00:55:36,907 --> 00:55:39,407 "the case has now been pending for six weeks. 1147 00:55:39,409 --> 00:55:41,376 "If it is not decided soon, 1148 00:55:41,378 --> 00:55:43,244 "the honey will not be fit for anything. 1149 00:55:43,246 --> 00:55:46,148 "I move that the bees and the wasps be both instructed 1150 00:55:46,150 --> 00:55:47,749 "to build a honey comb. 1151 00:55:47,751 --> 00:55:50,952 "Then we shall soon see to whom the honey really belongs." 1152 00:55:50,954 --> 00:55:53,121 The wasps protested loudly. 1153 00:55:53,123 --> 00:55:56,124 Wise Judge Hornet quickly understood why they did so. 1154 00:55:56,126 --> 00:55:59,327 They knew they could not build a honey comb 1155 00:55:59,329 --> 00:56:00,963 and fill it with honey. 1156 00:56:00,965 --> 00:56:03,599 "It is clear," said the judge, "who made the comb 1157 00:56:03,601 --> 00:56:05,200 "and who could not have made it. 1158 00:56:05,202 --> 00:56:07,302 "The honey belongs to the bees." 1159 00:56:07,304 --> 00:56:09,907 Ability proves itself by deeds. 1160 00:56:11,108 --> 00:56:13,708 A lark made her nest in a field of young wheat. 1161 00:56:13,710 --> 00:56:16,278 As the days passed, the wheat stalks grew tall 1162 00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:18,746 and the young birds, too, grew in strength. 1163 00:56:18,748 --> 00:56:21,583 Then one day, when the ripe golden grain waved in the 1164 00:56:21,585 --> 00:56:24,452 breeze, the farmer and his son came into the field. 1165 00:56:24,454 --> 00:56:27,222 "This wheat is now ready for reaping," said the farmer. 1166 00:56:27,224 --> 00:56:29,458 "We must call in our neighbors and friends 1167 00:56:29,460 --> 00:56:31,360 "to help us harvest it." 1168 00:56:31,362 --> 00:56:34,362 The young larks in their nest close by were much frightened, 1169 00:56:34,364 --> 00:56:37,099 for they knew they would be in great danger if they did not 1170 00:56:37,101 --> 00:56:39,635 leave the nest before the reapers came. 1171 00:56:39,637 --> 00:56:41,903 When the mother lark returned with food for them, 1172 00:56:41,905 --> 00:56:43,838 they told her what they had heard. 1173 00:56:43,840 --> 00:56:46,240 "Do not be frightened, children," said the mother lark. 1174 00:56:46,242 --> 00:56:49,010 "If the farmer said he would call in his neighbors 1175 00:56:49,012 --> 00:56:51,213 and friends to help him do his work, 1176 00:56:51,215 --> 00:56:53,882 "this wheat will not be reaped for a while yet." 1177 00:56:53,884 --> 00:56:57,918 A few days later, the wheat was so ripe, that when the wind 1178 00:56:57,920 --> 00:57:01,490 shook the stalks, a hail of wheat grains came rustling down 1179 00:57:01,492 --> 00:57:03,592 on the young larks' heads. 1180 00:57:03,594 --> 00:57:06,228 "If this wheat is not harvested at once," said the farmer, 1181 00:57:06,230 --> 00:57:08,296 "we shall lose half the crop. 1182 00:57:08,298 --> 00:57:10,798 "We cannot wait any longer for help from our friends. 1183 00:57:10,800 --> 00:57:13,735 "Tomorrow we must set to work, ourselves." 1184 00:57:13,737 --> 00:57:15,670 When the young larks told their mother 1185 00:57:15,672 --> 00:57:17,773 what they had heard that day, she said, 1186 00:57:17,775 --> 00:57:19,541 "Then we must be off at once. 1187 00:57:19,543 --> 00:57:21,776 "When a man decides to do his own work 1188 00:57:21,778 --> 00:57:23,679 "and not depend on anyone else, 1189 00:57:23,681 --> 00:57:27,014 "then you may be sure there will be no more delay." 1190 00:57:27,016 --> 00:57:29,885 There was much fluttering and trying out of wings that 1191 00:57:29,887 --> 00:57:32,920 afternoon, and at sunrise next day, when the farmer 1192 00:57:32,922 --> 00:57:36,825 and his son cut down the grain, they found an empty nest. 1193 00:57:36,827 --> 00:57:39,096 Self-help is the best help. 1194 00:57:40,297 --> 00:57:42,331 There was once a cat who was so watchful, 1195 00:57:42,333 --> 00:57:45,499 that a mouse hardly dared show the tip of his whiskers 1196 00:57:45,501 --> 00:57:47,536 for fear of being eaten alive. 1197 00:57:47,538 --> 00:57:50,871 That cat seemed to be everywhere at once with his claws 1198 00:57:50,873 --> 00:57:52,773 all ready for a pounce. 1199 00:57:52,775 --> 00:57:56,378 At last the mice kept so closely to their dens, that the cat 1200 00:57:56,380 --> 00:57:59,347 saw he would have to use his wits well to catch one. 1201 00:57:59,349 --> 00:58:02,351 So one day he climbed up on a shelf and hung from it, 1202 00:58:02,353 --> 00:58:05,519 head downward, as if he were dead, holding himself 1203 00:58:05,521 --> 00:58:07,988 up by clinging to some ropes with one paw. 1204 00:58:07,990 --> 00:58:10,891 When the mice peeped out and saw him in that position, 1205 00:58:10,893 --> 00:58:13,394 they thought he had been hung up there in punishment 1206 00:58:13,396 --> 00:58:14,862 for some misdeed. 1207 00:58:14,864 --> 00:58:17,199 Very timidly at first they stuck out their heads 1208 00:58:17,201 --> 00:58:19,568 and sniffed about carefully, but as nothing stirred, 1209 00:58:19,570 --> 00:58:23,338 all trooped joyfully out to celebrate the death of the cat. 1210 00:58:23,340 --> 00:58:26,108 Just then the cat let go his hold, 1211 00:58:26,110 --> 00:58:28,376 and before the mice recovered from their surprise, 1212 00:58:28,378 --> 00:58:30,644 he had made an end of three or four. 1213 00:58:30,646 --> 00:58:33,514 Now the mice kept more strictly at home than ever, 1214 00:58:33,516 --> 00:58:35,851 but the cat, who was still hungry for mice, 1215 00:58:35,853 --> 00:58:37,818 knew more tricks than one. 1216 00:58:37,820 --> 00:58:41,055 Rolling himself in flour until he was covered completely, he 1217 00:58:41,057 --> 00:58:44,059 lay down in the flour bin, with one eye open for the mice. 1218 00:58:44,061 --> 00:58:47,362 Sure enough, the mice soon began to come out. 1219 00:58:47,364 --> 00:58:50,465 To the cat it was almost as if he already had a plump young 1220 00:58:50,467 --> 00:58:53,934 mouse under his claws, when an old rat, who had had much 1221 00:58:53,936 --> 00:58:57,938 experience with cats and traps, and had even lost a part 1222 00:58:57,940 --> 00:59:00,876 of his tail to pay for it, sat up at a safe distance 1223 00:59:00,878 --> 00:59:02,978 from a hole in the wall where he lived. 1224 00:59:02,980 --> 00:59:05,679 "Take care!" he cried. "That may be a heap of meal, 1225 00:59:05,681 --> 00:59:08,583 "but it looks to me very much like the cat. 1226 00:59:08,585 --> 00:59:11,987 "Whatever it is, it is wisest to keep at a safe distance." 1227 00:59:11,989 --> 00:59:15,824 The wise do not let themselves be tricked a second time. 1228 00:59:15,826 --> 00:59:16,659 Weehoo! 1229 00:59:19,195 --> 00:59:22,363 Wow Wilma, what an adventure. 1230 00:59:22,365 --> 00:59:24,132 What do you see now? 1231 00:59:24,134 --> 00:59:27,235 I see that we're nearing the bottom of Fairy Tale Valley. 1232 00:59:27,237 --> 00:59:32,039 Soon there will be no place for the Easter egg to roll. 1233 00:59:32,041 --> 00:59:34,242 We're almost there Benny. 1234 00:59:34,244 --> 00:59:36,077 Look down there. 1235 00:59:36,079 --> 00:59:38,081 It's Buya the hound dog. 1236 00:59:39,583 --> 00:59:42,483 Let's go listen to a story. 1237 00:59:42,485 --> 00:59:46,322 (TRIUMPHANT ORCHESTRAL MUSIC) 1238 00:59:51,027 --> 00:59:52,561 Hello there Buya. 1239 00:59:52,563 --> 00:59:55,764 My name is Benny the Easter Bunny and this is my friend 1240 00:59:55,766 --> 01:00:00,635 Wilma, and we're hunting the most amazing Easter egg, 1241 01:00:00,637 --> 01:00:02,170 but before we finish the hunt... 1242 01:00:02,172 --> 01:00:04,606 We would like to listen to a story. 1243 01:00:04,608 --> 01:00:07,275 One bright morning as the fox was following his sharp 1244 01:00:07,277 --> 01:00:10,612 nose through the wood in search of a bite to eat, 1245 01:00:10,614 --> 01:00:13,447 he saw a crow on the limb of a tree overhead. 1246 01:00:13,449 --> 01:00:17,318 This was by no means the first crow the fox had ever seen. 1247 01:00:17,320 --> 01:00:20,789 What caught his attention this time and made him stop 1248 01:00:20,791 --> 01:00:23,691 for a second look, was that the lucky crow held 1249 01:00:23,693 --> 01:00:26,028 a bit of cheese in her beak. 1250 01:00:27,364 --> 01:00:30,599 "No need to search any farther," thought sly Master Fox. 1251 01:00:30,601 --> 01:00:33,168 "Here is a dainty bite for my breakfast." 1252 01:00:33,170 --> 01:00:36,505 Up he trotted to the foot of the tree in which the crow 1253 01:00:36,507 --> 01:00:39,206 was sitting, and looking up admiringly, 1254 01:00:39,208 --> 01:00:42,510 he cried, "Good morning, beautiful creature!" 1255 01:00:42,512 --> 01:00:45,847 The crow, her head cocked on one side, watched 1256 01:00:45,849 --> 01:00:49,885 the fox suspiciously, but she kept her beak tightly 1257 01:00:49,887 --> 01:00:53,354 closed on the cheese and did not return his greeting. 1258 01:00:53,356 --> 01:00:57,358 "What a charming creature she is!" said the fox. 1259 01:00:57,360 --> 01:00:59,528 "How her feathers shine! 1260 01:00:59,530 --> 01:01:02,630 "What a beautiful form and what splendid wings! 1261 01:01:02,632 --> 01:01:06,233 "Such a wonderful bird should have a very lovely voice, 1262 01:01:06,235 --> 01:01:09,771 "since everything else about her is so perfect. 1263 01:01:09,773 --> 01:01:12,173 "Could she sing just one song, 1264 01:01:12,175 --> 01:01:14,775 "I know I should hail her Queen of the Birds." 1265 01:01:14,777 --> 01:01:18,079 Listening to these flattering words, the crow forgot 1266 01:01:18,081 --> 01:01:21,416 all her suspicion, and also her breakfast. 1267 01:01:21,418 --> 01:01:24,653 She wanted very much to be called Queen of Birds. 1268 01:01:24,655 --> 01:01:28,623 So she opened her beak wide to utter her loudest caw, 1269 01:01:28,625 --> 01:01:32,793 and down fell the cheese straight into the fox's open mouth. 1270 01:01:32,795 --> 01:01:37,132 "Thank you," said Master Fox sweetly, as he walked off. 1271 01:01:37,134 --> 01:01:40,769 "Though it is cracked, you have a voice sure enough. 1272 01:01:40,771 --> 01:01:43,470 "But where are your wits?" 1273 01:01:43,472 --> 01:01:46,340 The flatterer lives at the expense 1274 01:01:46,342 --> 01:01:48,610 of those who will listen to him. 1275 01:01:48,612 --> 01:01:49,780 Another one. 1276 01:01:50,713 --> 01:01:51,882 Pretty please? 1277 01:01:54,016 --> 01:01:56,083 A traveler had hired an ass to carry him 1278 01:01:56,085 --> 01:01:58,186 to a distant part of the country. 1279 01:01:58,188 --> 01:02:00,588 The owner of the ass went with the traveler, 1280 01:02:00,590 --> 01:02:04,258 walking beside him to drive the ass and point out the way. 1281 01:02:04,260 --> 01:02:06,860 The road led across a treeless plain 1282 01:02:06,862 --> 01:02:09,697 where the sun beat down fiercely. 1283 01:02:09,699 --> 01:02:12,733 So intense did the heat become, that the traveler at last 1284 01:02:12,735 --> 01:02:16,704 decided to stop for a rest, and as there was no other shade 1285 01:02:16,706 --> 01:02:20,307 to be found, the traveler sat down in the shadow of the ass. 1286 01:02:20,309 --> 01:02:23,711 Now the heat had affected the driver as much as it had 1287 01:02:23,713 --> 01:02:26,880 the traveler, and even more, for he had been walking. 1288 01:02:26,882 --> 01:02:30,017 Wishing also to rest in the shade cast by the ass, 1289 01:02:30,019 --> 01:02:32,320 he began to quarrel with the traveler, 1290 01:02:32,322 --> 01:02:36,057 saying he had hired the ass and not the shadow it cast. 1291 01:02:36,059 --> 01:02:38,425 The two soon came to blows, 1292 01:02:38,427 --> 01:02:42,664 and while they were fighting, the ass took to its heels. 1293 01:02:42,666 --> 01:02:47,101 In quarreling about the shadow we often lose the substance. 1294 01:02:47,103 --> 01:02:49,205 I'd love another story. 1295 01:02:50,641 --> 01:02:53,807 One day, a long time ago, an old miller and his son were 1296 01:02:53,809 --> 01:02:57,244 on their way to market with an ass which they hoped to sell. 1297 01:02:57,246 --> 01:03:00,115 They drove him very slowly, for they thought 1298 01:03:00,117 --> 01:03:01,916 they would have a better chance to sell him 1299 01:03:01,918 --> 01:03:04,151 if they kept him in good condition. 1300 01:03:04,153 --> 01:03:06,820 As they walked along the highway some travelers 1301 01:03:06,822 --> 01:03:08,789 laughed loudly at them. 1302 01:03:08,791 --> 01:03:11,059 "What foolishness," cried one, 1303 01:03:11,061 --> 01:03:13,028 "to walk when they might as well ride. 1304 01:03:13,030 --> 01:03:15,262 "The most stupid of the three is not 1305 01:03:15,264 --> 01:03:17,965 "the one you would expect it to be." 1306 01:03:17,967 --> 01:03:20,735 The miller did not like to be laughed at, 1307 01:03:20,737 --> 01:03:23,570 so he told his son to climb up and ride. 1308 01:03:23,572 --> 01:03:26,708 They had gone a little farther along the road, 1309 01:03:26,710 --> 01:03:29,309 when three merchants passed by. 1310 01:03:29,311 --> 01:03:32,146 "Oh ho, what have we here?" they cried. 1311 01:03:32,148 --> 01:03:34,715 "Respect old age, young man. 1312 01:03:34,717 --> 01:03:37,084 "Get down, and let the old man ride." 1313 01:03:37,086 --> 01:03:39,320 Though the miller was not tired, 1314 01:03:39,322 --> 01:03:42,389 he made the boy get down and climbed up himself to ride, 1315 01:03:42,391 --> 01:03:44,758 just to please the merchants. 1316 01:03:44,760 --> 01:03:47,862 At the next turnstile they overtook some women carrying 1317 01:03:47,864 --> 01:03:50,331 market baskets loaded with vegetables 1318 01:03:50,333 --> 01:03:51,932 and other things to sell. 1319 01:03:51,934 --> 01:03:54,601 "Look at the old fool," exclaimed one of them. 1320 01:03:54,603 --> 01:03:58,673 "Perched on the ass, while that poor boy has to walk." 1321 01:03:58,675 --> 01:04:02,443 The miller felt a bit vexed, but to be agreeable 1322 01:04:02,445 --> 01:04:04,979 he told the boy to climb up behind him. 1323 01:04:04,981 --> 01:04:08,249 They had no sooner started out again than a loud shout 1324 01:04:08,251 --> 01:04:10,818 went up from another company of people on the road. 1325 01:04:10,820 --> 01:04:13,088 "What a crime," cried one, 1326 01:04:13,090 --> 01:04:15,690 "to load up a poor dumb beast like that. 1327 01:04:15,692 --> 01:04:18,860 "They look more able to carry the poor creature, 1328 01:04:18,862 --> 01:04:20,862 "than he to carry them." 1329 01:04:20,864 --> 01:04:22,396 "They must be on their way to sell 1330 01:04:22,398 --> 01:04:24,199 "the poor thing's hide," said another. 1331 01:04:24,201 --> 01:04:27,668 The miller and his son quickly scrambled down, and a short 1332 01:04:27,670 --> 01:04:31,072 time later, the market place was thrown into an uproar 1333 01:04:31,074 --> 01:04:35,677 as the two came along carrying the donkey slung from a pole. 1334 01:04:35,679 --> 01:04:38,612 A great crowd of people ran out to get a closer look 1335 01:04:38,614 --> 01:04:40,215 at the strange sight. 1336 01:04:40,217 --> 01:04:44,485 The ass did not dislike being carried, but so many people 1337 01:04:44,487 --> 01:04:47,521 came up to point at him and laugh and shout, that he began 1338 01:04:47,523 --> 01:04:50,791 to kick and bray, and then, just as they were crossing 1339 01:04:50,793 --> 01:04:53,661 a bridge, the ropes that held him gave way, 1340 01:04:53,663 --> 01:04:56,463 and down he tumbled into the river. 1341 01:04:56,465 --> 01:04:59,967 The poor miller now set out sadly for home. 1342 01:04:59,969 --> 01:05:03,771 By trying to please everybody, he had pleased nobody, 1343 01:05:03,773 --> 01:05:06,574 and lost his ass besides. 1344 01:05:06,576 --> 01:05:10,079 If you try to please all, you please none. 1345 01:05:12,081 --> 01:05:14,449 A dove saw an ant fall into a brook. 1346 01:05:14,451 --> 01:05:17,719 The ant struggled in vain to reach the bank, and in pity, 1347 01:05:17,721 --> 01:05:21,088 the dove dropped a blade of straw close beside it. 1348 01:05:21,090 --> 01:05:23,891 Clinging to the straw like a shipwrecked sailor 1349 01:05:23,893 --> 01:05:27,729 to a broken spar, the ant floated safely to shore. 1350 01:05:27,731 --> 01:05:31,965 Soon after, the ant saw a man getting ready to kill the dove 1351 01:05:31,967 --> 01:05:35,769 with a stone, but just as he cast the stone, the ant stung 1352 01:05:35,771 --> 01:05:39,173 him in the heel, so that the pain made him miss his aim, 1353 01:05:39,175 --> 01:05:43,010 and the startled dove flew to safety in a distant wood. 1354 01:05:43,012 --> 01:05:45,248 A kindness is never wasted. 1355 01:05:46,349 --> 01:05:47,184 Weehoo! 1356 01:05:49,585 --> 01:05:51,753 (CLUCKS) Benny, I see it! 1357 01:05:51,755 --> 01:05:55,222 It's the amazing Easter egg we've been looking for. 1358 01:05:55,224 --> 01:05:56,356 Quick! 1359 01:05:56,358 --> 01:05:59,526 Let's go to it before it rolls away. 1360 01:05:59,528 --> 01:06:01,162 It can't run away. 1361 01:06:01,164 --> 01:06:03,097 We're at the bottom of Fairy Tale Valley. 1362 01:06:03,099 --> 01:06:04,201 We made it. 1363 01:06:06,235 --> 01:06:08,135 Look, is that Annie the honeybee? 1364 01:06:08,137 --> 01:06:09,670 She is. 1365 01:06:09,672 --> 01:06:12,240 I'd love to listen to another story, 1366 01:06:12,242 --> 01:06:15,376 but what about our Easter egg hunt? 1367 01:06:15,378 --> 01:06:16,878 We're at the bottom of the valley, 1368 01:06:16,880 --> 01:06:18,679 no more place for the egg to go. 1369 01:06:18,681 --> 01:06:21,048 So we have time for another story? 1370 01:06:21,050 --> 01:06:22,516 Sure. 1371 01:06:22,518 --> 01:06:25,286 Hello there, my name is Benny the Easter Bunny 1372 01:06:25,288 --> 01:06:28,222 and this is my friend Wilma. 1373 01:06:28,224 --> 01:06:32,092 We're on an Easter egg hunt adventure. 1374 01:06:32,094 --> 01:06:35,095 Our egg is waiting for us at the bottom of the valley. 1375 01:06:35,097 --> 01:06:37,664 But before we go to get our egg 1376 01:06:37,666 --> 01:06:39,367 and leave Fairy Tale Valley... 1377 01:06:39,369 --> 01:06:41,034 Will you tell us a story? 1378 01:06:41,036 --> 01:06:44,072 A stray lamb stood drinking early one morning 1379 01:06:44,074 --> 01:06:46,173 on the bank of a woodland stream. 1380 01:06:46,175 --> 01:06:49,776 That very same morning a hungry wolf came by farther 1381 01:06:49,778 --> 01:06:53,180 up the stream, hunting for something to eat. 1382 01:06:53,182 --> 01:06:55,617 He soon got his eyes on the lamb. 1383 01:06:55,619 --> 01:06:59,487 As a rule Mr. Wolf snapped up such delicious morsels 1384 01:06:59,489 --> 01:07:02,824 without making any bones about it, but this lamb looked 1385 01:07:02,826 --> 01:07:06,159 so very helpless and innocent that the wolf felt 1386 01:07:06,161 --> 01:07:10,597 he ought to have some kind of an excuse for taking its life. 1387 01:07:10,599 --> 01:07:12,633 "How dare you paddle around in my stream 1388 01:07:12,635 --> 01:07:15,403 "and stir up all the mud." he shouted fiercely. 1389 01:07:15,405 --> 01:07:19,539 "You deserve to be punished severely for your rashness." 1390 01:07:19,541 --> 01:07:22,976 "But, your highness," replied the trembling lamb, 1391 01:07:22,978 --> 01:07:24,345 "do not be angry. 1392 01:07:24,347 --> 01:07:26,179 "I cannot possibly muddy the water 1393 01:07:26,181 --> 01:07:27,749 "you are drinking up there. 1394 01:07:27,751 --> 01:07:30,651 "Remember, you are upstream and I am downstream." 1395 01:07:30,653 --> 01:07:34,222 "You do muddy it." retorted the wolf savagely. 1396 01:07:34,224 --> 01:07:35,722 "And besides, 1397 01:07:35,724 --> 01:07:38,793 "I have heard that you told lies about me last year!" 1398 01:07:38,795 --> 01:07:41,528 "How could I have done so?" pleaded the lamb. 1399 01:07:41,530 --> 01:07:44,197 "I wasn't born until this year." 1400 01:07:44,199 --> 01:07:47,034 "If it wasn't you, it was your brother." 1401 01:07:47,036 --> 01:07:49,336 "I have no brothers." 1402 01:07:49,338 --> 01:07:52,307 "Well, then," snarled the wolf, 1403 01:07:52,309 --> 01:07:54,976 "It was someone in your family anyway, but no matter who 1404 01:07:54,978 --> 01:07:58,512 "it was, I do not intend to be talked out of my breakfast." 1405 01:07:58,514 --> 01:08:01,648 And without more words the wolf seized the poor lamb 1406 01:08:01,650 --> 01:08:04,719 and carried her off to the forest. 1407 01:08:04,721 --> 01:08:09,023 The tyrant can always find an excuse for his tyranny. 1408 01:08:09,025 --> 01:08:12,760 The unjust will not listen to the reasoning of the innocent. 1409 01:08:12,762 --> 01:08:14,963 WILMA: Ooh, tell us another please. 1410 01:08:14,965 --> 01:08:18,031 ANNIE: A wolf had been hurt in a fight with a bear. 1411 01:08:18,033 --> 01:08:20,634 He was unable to move and could not satisfy 1412 01:08:20,636 --> 01:08:22,402 his hunger and thirst. 1413 01:08:22,404 --> 01:08:25,106 A sheep passed by near his hiding place, 1414 01:08:25,108 --> 01:08:27,075 and the wolf called to him. 1415 01:08:27,077 --> 01:08:29,811 "Please fetch me a drink of water," he begged, 1416 01:08:29,813 --> 01:08:31,845 "that might give me strength enough 1417 01:08:31,847 --> 01:08:33,915 "so I can get me some solid food." 1418 01:08:33,917 --> 01:08:35,950 "Solid food!" said the sheep. 1419 01:08:35,952 --> 01:08:37,751 "That means me, I suppose. 1420 01:08:37,753 --> 01:08:39,853 "If I should bring you a drink, 1421 01:08:39,855 --> 01:08:42,389 "it would only serve to wash me down your throat. 1422 01:08:42,391 --> 01:08:45,293 "Don't talk to me about a drink!" 1423 01:08:45,295 --> 01:08:48,763 A knave's hypocrisy is easily seen through. 1424 01:08:48,765 --> 01:08:52,769 BENNY: Will you tell us one more story Annie? 1425 01:08:54,037 --> 01:08:56,370 ANNIE: Hares, as you know, are very timid. 1426 01:08:56,372 --> 01:08:58,873 The least shadow, sends them scurrying in fright 1427 01:08:58,875 --> 01:09:00,308 to a hiding place. 1428 01:09:00,310 --> 01:09:03,710 Once they decided to die rather than live in such misery, 1429 01:09:03,712 --> 01:09:07,115 but while they were debating how best to meet death, 1430 01:09:07,117 --> 01:09:09,884 they thought they heard a noise and in a flash were 1431 01:09:09,886 --> 01:09:11,986 scampering off to the warren. 1432 01:09:11,988 --> 01:09:14,789 On the way they passed a pond where a family of frogs 1433 01:09:14,791 --> 01:09:17,424 was sitting among the reeds on the bank. 1434 01:09:17,426 --> 01:09:20,861 In an instant the startled frogs were seeking safety 1435 01:09:20,863 --> 01:09:22,263 in the mud. 1436 01:09:22,265 --> 01:09:24,065 "Look," cried a hare, 1437 01:09:24,067 --> 01:09:25,933 "things are not so bad after all, 1438 01:09:25,935 --> 01:09:30,338 "for here are creatures who are even afraid of us!" 1439 01:09:30,340 --> 01:09:33,407 However unfortunate we may think we are, 1440 01:09:33,409 --> 01:09:36,210 there is always someone worse off than ourselves. 1441 01:09:36,212 --> 01:09:37,945 BENNY: I don't know what I'd give 1442 01:09:37,947 --> 01:09:39,914 to listen to another story. 1443 01:09:39,916 --> 01:09:43,116 Will you please tell us one more? 1444 01:09:43,118 --> 01:09:46,454 ANNIE: The fox one day thought of a plan to amuse himself 1445 01:09:46,456 --> 01:09:49,557 at the expense of the stork, at whose odd appearance 1446 01:09:49,559 --> 01:09:51,459 he was always laughing. 1447 01:09:51,461 --> 01:09:54,428 "You must come and dine with me today," he said to the 1448 01:09:54,430 --> 01:09:58,066 stork, smiling to himself at the trick he was going to play. 1449 01:09:58,068 --> 01:10:00,934 The stork gladly accepted the invitation 1450 01:10:00,936 --> 01:10:04,272 and arrived in good time and with a very good appetite. 1451 01:10:04,274 --> 01:10:08,843 For dinner the fox served soup, but it was set out 1452 01:10:08,845 --> 01:10:12,013 in a very shallow dish, and all the stork could do 1453 01:10:12,015 --> 01:10:14,781 was to wet the very tip of his bill. 1454 01:10:14,783 --> 01:10:17,250 Not a drop of soup could he get. 1455 01:10:17,252 --> 01:10:20,420 But the fox lapped it up easily, and, to increase the 1456 01:10:20,422 --> 01:10:25,058 disappointment of the stork, made a great show of enjoyment. 1457 01:10:25,060 --> 01:10:28,196 The hungry stork was much displeased at the trick, 1458 01:10:28,198 --> 01:10:31,598 but he was a calm, even-tempered fellow and saw no good 1459 01:10:31,600 --> 01:10:33,768 in flying into a rage. 1460 01:10:33,770 --> 01:10:35,870 Instead, not long afterward, 1461 01:10:35,872 --> 01:10:38,839 he invited the fox to dine with him in turn. 1462 01:10:38,841 --> 01:10:42,242 The fox arrived promptly at the time that had been set, 1463 01:10:42,244 --> 01:10:44,845 and the stork served a fish dinner that had 1464 01:10:44,847 --> 01:10:46,680 a very appetizing smell. 1465 01:10:46,682 --> 01:10:51,384 But it was served in a tall jar with a very narrow neck. 1466 01:10:51,386 --> 01:10:54,589 The stork could easily get at the food with his long bill, 1467 01:10:54,591 --> 01:10:57,959 but all the fox could do was to lick the outside of the jar, 1468 01:10:57,961 --> 01:11:00,760 and sniff at the delicious odor. 1469 01:11:00,762 --> 01:11:04,932 And when the fox lost his temper, the stork said calmly, 1470 01:11:04,934 --> 01:11:07,902 "Do not play tricks on your neighbors unless 1471 01:11:07,904 --> 01:11:10,937 "you can stand the same treatment yourself." 1472 01:11:10,939 --> 01:11:11,773 Weehoo! 1473 01:11:14,109 --> 01:11:19,080 There it is, the amazing egg of the Wish Bird of Easter. 1474 01:11:19,082 --> 01:11:21,816 WILMA: We made it, we found it! 1475 01:11:21,818 --> 01:11:22,652 Weehoo! 1476 01:11:29,893 --> 01:11:34,361 This was the most incredible Easter egg hunt adventure ever. 1477 01:11:34,363 --> 01:11:35,595 I agree. 1478 01:11:35,597 --> 01:11:37,430 Tell me Benny, what will your wish be 1479 01:11:37,432 --> 01:11:39,666 when you open the Easter egg? 1480 01:11:39,668 --> 01:11:41,902 Will it grant me any wish I desire? 1481 01:11:41,904 --> 01:11:42,736 Yes. 1482 01:11:42,738 --> 01:11:45,106 So what will it be? 1483 01:11:45,108 --> 01:11:47,974 Hu-hu, well I wish to start this Easter egg hunt 1484 01:11:47,976 --> 01:11:49,244 all over again. 1485 01:11:58,020 -->
