Aesop fable Buckwheat

very often, after a violent thunder-storm, a field of buckwheat appears blackened and singed, as if a flame of fire had passed over it. The country people say that this appearance is caused by lightning; but I will tell you what the sparrow says, and the sparrow heard it from an old willow-tree which grew near a field of buckwheat, and is there still. It is a large venerable tree, though a little crippled by age. The trunk has been split, and out of the crevice grass and brambles grow.

Aesop fable The Treasure in The Field

There was a farmer who had three sons. All of his sons were very lazy. No one helped his father to work in the field. No one cared to do any work. They only ate and slept. The farmer was very sad that his sons were lazy. One day the farmer became very ill. He called his three sons to tell them something. “I have a treasure for you but it is buried in the field. After I die you may dig it up,” the farmer said then and died. The three boys went to the field and dug the ground. They dug all day trying to find the treasure, but did not find anything. Next day they went to the field again and dug the ground more. But they did not find any treasure. The boys dug the field for many days. They did not find any treasure. Finally, the eldest son said, “Let us stop digging. We should grow corn in our field.” So they brought corn seeds and sowed them in the land they had been digging. After one month, the field was full of green corn seedlings. Three months later, the plants bore corn and when the corn was ripe, the whole field became bright yellow. “This is the treasure that father gave us,” they said happily.

Aesop fables Father and His Sons

the father had a family of sons who were perpetually quarreling among themselves. When he failed to heal their disputes by his exhortations, he determined to give them a practical illustration of the evils of disunion; and for this purpose he one day told them to bring him a bundle of sticks. When they had done so, he placed the faggot into the hands of each of them in succession, and ordered them to break it in pieces. They tried with all their strength, and were not able to do it. He next opened the faggot, took the sticks separately, one by one, and again put them into his sons' hands, upon which they broke them easily. He then addressed them in these words: "My sons, if you are of one mind, and unite to assist each other, you will be as this faggot, uninjured by all the attempts of your enemies; but if you are divided among yourselves, you will be broken as easily as these sticks."

Fable The Farmer and the Stork

A farmer placed nets on his newly-sown plowlands and caught a number of Cranes, which came to pick up his seed. With them he trapped a Stork that had fractured his leg in the net and was earnestly beseeching the Farmer to spare his life. "Pray save me, Master," he said, "and let me go free this once. My broken limb should excite your pity. Besides, I am no Crane, I am a Stork, a bird of excellent character; and see how I love and slave for my father and mother. Look too, at my feathers-- they are not the least like those of a Crane." The Farmer laughed aloud and said, "It may be all as you say, I only know this: I have taken you with these robbers, the Cranes, and you must die in their company."
