Morals for kids – Aesop’s Fables – The Two Hungry Dogs.

(Two dogs play in the park with a ball)

Dog 1: Did you hear that?

Dog 2: Mmm… no, I don’t think so.

(they keep playing with the ball)

Dog 1: What’s that noise?

Dog 2: What noise?

Dog 1: Come on! Don’t tell me that you didn’t hear it.

Dog 2: Oh well, Yes, I did! It’s my stomach! I’m hungry.,.. and don’t say anything more!

(they keep playing with the ball when suddenly the ball falls into the lake)

Dog 1: Look what you did!

Dog 2: Let me get it.

(Dog 2 gets near the water and sees a bone in the bottom of the lake)

Dog 2: Look… it’s a bone!

Dog 1: Yeah, sure… the ball changed into a bone as soon as it touched the water!

Dog 2: I’m telling you the truth… it’s a bone!

Dog 1: Let me see… you’re right… it’s a bone!

Dog 2: Let’s get it…it’s just what I need.

Dog 1: How are we going to get it out?

Dog 2: Let me think… I know… we’ll drink all the water, and then the bone will be mine.

Dog 1: You mean ours.

Dog 2: That’s what I said.

(both dogs drink all the water in the lake. They are now full and fat)

Dog 1: I can’t drink any more water.

Dog 2: Keep drinking.

Dog 1: How much?

Dog 2: Just keep drinking.

(both dogs fall to the ground)

Dog 1: I don’t think it was a good idea.

Dog 2: Sorry… I thought it was going to be fast and easy, but it wasn’t safe.

(both dogs close their eyes)

Moral:

Don’t Act first, think and re-act.
