2)      The eagle
Main points of the story
1)      In this fable it tells about a stupid wolf who is very greedy for wanting to eat all the fish in the pond that are quite dry, but the plan is caught by a shrimp that lives in that pond. For one time the shrimp said that if they were eaten in a muddy state by the wolf, the taste would be very unpleasant, so the wolf did what the shrimp asked for because they wanted delicious food. Namely to bring them to a pond that has more water. The jackal obeyed the words of the shrimp but unfortunately when all the fish had succeeded in moving they instead went into deeper water, and the wolf realized that he had been lied to. The jackal is angry and wants revenge, but because he is so stupid he is the one who gets hurt.
2)      Sitting on a lofty rock, an eagle was watching its prey move on the ground. A hunter, watching the eagle from behind a tree, shoots it with an arrow. As the eagle falls to the ground, with blood oozing from its wound, it sees that the arrow is made of its own plumage and thinks: “Alas, I am destroyed by an arrow made from my own feathers”.
