            <description><![CDATA[A Fox was caught in a trap one fine morning, because he had got too near the Farmer&#8217;s hen house. No doubt he was hungry, but that was not an excuse for stealing. A Cock, rising early, discovered what had happened.

But now the Wolves thought of a plan to trick the Sheep. &#8220;Why is there always this hostility between us?&#8221; they said. &#8220;If it were not for those Dogs who are always stirring up trouble, I am sure…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[The Lion had been badly hurt by the horns of a Goat, which he was eating. He was very angry to think that any animal that he chose for a meal, should be so brazen as to wear such dangerous things as horns to scratch him while he ate. So he commanded that all animals with horns should leave his domains within twenty-four hours.…]]></description>

While they were disputing with much heat and bluster, a Traveler passed along the road wrapped in a cloak. &#8220;Let us agree,&#8221; said the Sun, &#8220;that he is the stronger who can strip that Traveler of his cloak.&#8221; &#8220;Very well,&#8221; growled the North Wind, and at once sent…]]></description>

But I am sure I can see!&#8221; Mother Mole saw she would have to get such conceit out of his head. So she put a bit of frankincense before him and asked him to tell what it was.
