The farmer and the snake The greatest kindness will not bind the ungrateful
The farmer and the stork Birds of a feather flock together
The fawn and his mother No arguments will give courage to the coward
The fighting roosters and the eagle Pride goes before destruction
The fir tree and the bramble Better poverty without care - than riches with
The flies and the honey pot Pleasure bought with pains - hurts
The fox and the goat Look before you leap
The fox and the lion Acquaintance softens prejudices
The goat and the goatherd Do not attempt to hide things which cannot be hid
The goatherd and the wild goats Old friends cannot with impunity be sacrificed for new ones
The hare and the tortoise Slow but steady wins the race

The hawk the kite and the pigeons Avoid a remedy that is worse than the disease
The hunter and the woodman The hero is brave in deeds as well as words
The huntsman and the fisherman Abstain and enjoy
The jackdaw and the doves So desiring two ends - he obtained neither
The kid and the wolf Time and place often give the advantage to the weak over the strong
The laborer and the snake No one truly forgets injuries in the presence of him who caused the injury
The lark and her young ones Self help is the best help
The lark burying her father Youth’s first duty is reverence to parents
The lion and the eagle Try before you trust
The lion and the three bulls Union is strength
