he then approached the charcoal fire - place and began to pour out some hot water from the kettle boiling there , when something burst out from the ashes with a great pop and hit the monkey right in the neck . it was the chestnut , one of the crab 's friends , who had hidden himself in the fireplace . the monkey , taken by surprise , jumped backward , and then started to run out of the room . the bee , who was hiding outside the screens , now flew out and stung him on the cheek . the monkey was in great pain , his neck was burned by the chestnut and his face badly stung by the bee , but he ran on screaming and chattering with rage .

now the stone mortar had hidden himself with several other stones on the top of the crab 's gate , and as the monkey ran underneath , the mortar and all fell down on the top of the monkey 's head . was it possible for the monkey to bear the weight of the mortar falling on him from the top of the gate ? he lay crushed and in great pain , quite unable to get up . as he lay there helpless the young crab came up , and , holding his great claw scissors over the monkey , he said : " do you now remember that you murdered my father ? " " then you - are - my - enemy ? " gasped the monkey brokenly . " of course , " said the young crab . " it - was - your - father's - fault - not - mine ! " gasped the unrepentant monkey . " can you still lie ? i will soon put an end to your breath ! " and with that he cut off the monkey 's head with his pitcher claws . thus the wicked monkey met his well - merited punishment , and the young crab avenged his father 's death . this is the end of the story of the monkey , the crab , and the persimmon - seed .

now though the monkey is always very fond of persimmon fruit , he had no use for the seed he had just found . the persimmon - seed is as hard and uneatable as a stone . he , therefore , in his greedy nature , felt very envious of the crab 's nice dumpling , and he proposed an exchange . the crab naturally did not see why he should give up his prize for a hard stone - like seed , and would not consent to the monkey 's proposition . then the cunning monkey began to persuade the crab , saying : " how unwise you are not to think of the future ! your rice - dumpling can be eaten now , and is certainly much bigger than my seed ; but if you sow this seed in the ground it will soon grow and become a great tree in a few years , and bear an abundance of fine ripe persimmons year after year . if only i could show it to you then with the yellow fruit hanging on its branches ! of course , if you do n't believe me i shall sow it myself ; though i am sure , later on , you will be very sorry that you did not take my advice . " the young crab set out at once to call on the mortar , his father 's old friend , and told him of all that had happened . he besought the mortar with tears to help him avenge his father 's death . the mortar was very sorry when he heard the woful tale and promised at once to help the young crab punish the monkey to death . he warned him that he must be very careful in what he did , for the monkey was a strong and cunning enemy . the mortar now sent to fetch the bee and the chestnut ( also the crab 's old friends ) to consult them about the matter . in a short time the bee and the chestnut arrived . when they were told all the details of the old crab 's death and of the monkey 's wickedness and greed , they both gladly consented to help the young crab in his revenge . after talking for a long time as to the ways and means of carrying out their plans they separated , and mr . mortar went home with the young crab to help him bury his poor father .

it was a bright spring day , and the sun shone very warm and pleasant over the pastures , where the new grass was growing so juicy and tender that all the sheep thought they had never tasted anything so delicious . the sheep had had a strange experience that morning , for the farmer had taken them down to the brook and washed them , and then he tied their legs together and laid them on the grass and clipped all the heavy , soft wool from their bodies with a great pair of shears .

the sheep did not like this very well , for every once in a while the shears would pull the wool and hurt them ; and when they were sheared they felt very strange , for it was almost as if someone took off all your clothes and let you run around naked . none of them were in a very good temper this morning , although the sun shone so warmly and the grass was so sweet , and as they watched the farmer and his man carry their wool up to the house in great bags , the old ram said , crossly , " i hope they are satisfied , now that they have stolen from us all our soft , warm fleece . " " what are they going to do with it ? " asked one of the sheep .

" oh , they will spin it into threads and make coats for the men and dresses for the women . for men are such strange creatures that no wool grows on them at all , and that is why they selfishly rob us of our fleece that they may cover their own skinny bodies ! " " it must be horrid to be a man , " said the black sheep , " and not to have any wool grow on you at all . i 'm sorry for that little boy that lives in the lane , for he will never be able to keep warm unless we give him some of our wool . " " but what a shame it is , " continued the ram , " for the farmer to steal all the wool from us when we have taken all the trouble to grow it ! "

" i do n't mind , " bleated a young lamb named frisky , as it kicked up its heels and gambolled about upon the grass ; " it 's nice to have all that heavy wool cut off my back , for i sha'n't have to carry it around wherever i go .

" oh , i would n't mind , " said the lamb again ; " i shall grow more wool by winter - time , and i 'm sure i do n't look any worse than you do . " some of the sheep looked at the ram and began to giggle , for he was old and thin , and looked very comical indeed without any wool . and this made him so angry that he went off by himself and began eating grass , and would not speak to the others at all .

" what will they do with it , black sheep ? " enquired the little boy . " they will make coats of it , to keep themselves warm . " " i wish i had some wool , " said the boy , " for i need a new coat very badly , and mamma is so poor she can not buy me one . " " that is too bad , " replied the black sheep ; " but i shall have more wool by and by , and then i will give you a bagful to make a new coat from . " " will you really ? " asked the boy , looking very much pleased . " indeed i will , " answered the sheep , " for you are always kind and have a pleasant word for me . so you watch until my wool grows again , and then you shall have your share of it . " " oh , thank you ! " said the boy , and he ran away to tell his mother what the black sheep had said . when the farmer came into the field again the black sheep said to him , " master , how many bags of wool did you cut from my back ? " " two bags full , " replied the farmer ; " and it was very nice wool indeed . " " if i grow three bags full the next time , may i have one bag for myself ? " asked the sheep . " why , what could you do with a bag of wool ? " questioned the farmer . " i want to give it to the little boy that lives in the lane . he is very poor and needs a new coat . " " very well , " answered the master ; " if you can grow three bags full i will give one to the little boy . " so the black sheep began to grow wool , and tried in every way to grow the finest and heaviest fleece in all the flock . she always lay in the sunniest part of the pastures , and drank from the clearest part of the brook , and ate only the young and juicy shoots of grass and the tenderest of the sheep - sorrel . and each day the little boy came to the bars and looked at the sheep and enquired how the wool was growing . " that is fine ! " said the boy ; " but who are the three bags for ? " " one for my master , one for his dame , and one for the little boy that lives in the lane . " " thank you , black sheep , " said the little boy ; " you are very kind , and i shall always think of you when i wear my new coat . " the next day the sheep were all sheared , and the black sheep 's fleece made three big bagsful . the farmer kept his promise and carried one bag to the little boy that lived in the lane , and the wool was so soft and so heavy that there was enough not only for the new coat , but to make his mother a warm dress as well . the black sheep was very proud and happy when the mother and her little boy came down to the bars and showed the new clothes that had been made from the wool . " this pays me for all my trouble , " said the black sheep , and the little boy reached his hand through the bars and patted her gently upon the head .

black sheep did not reply to this , for she thought the old ram very ill - tempered and selfish , and believed he was doing wrong not to grow more wool . finally the time came to shear the sheep again , and the farmer and his man came into the pasture to look at them , and were surprised to see what a fine , big fleece the black sheep had grown .

it was a bright spring day , and the sun shone very warm and pleasant over the pastures , where the new grass was growing so juicy and tender that all the sheep thought they had never tasted anything so delicious . the sheep had had a strange experience that morning , for the farmer had taken them down to the brook and washed them , and then he tied their legs together and laid them on the grass and clipped all the heavy , soft wool from their bodies with a great pair of shears . the sheep did not like this very well , for every once in a while the shears would pull the wool and hurt them ; and when they were sheared they felt very strange , for it was almost as if someone took off all your clothes and let you run around naked . none of them were in a very good temper this morning , although the sun shone so warmly and the grass was so sweet , and as they watched the farmer and his man carry their wool up to the house in great bags , the old ram said , crossly , " i hope they are satisfied , now that they have stolen from us all our soft , warm fleece . " " what are they going to do with it ? " asked one of the sheep .
|
they felt very strange .
|
why were none of the sheep in a very good temper that morning ?

the sheep did not like this very well , for every once in a while the shears would pull the wool and hurt them ; and when they were sheared they felt very strange , for it was almost as if someone took off all your clothes and let you run around naked . none of them were in a very good temper this morning , although the sun shone so warmly and the grass was so sweet , and as they watched the farmer and his man carry their wool up to the house in great bags , the old ram said , crossly , " i hope they are satisfied , now that they have stolen from us all our soft , warm fleece .

" i do n't mind , " bleated a young lamb named frisky , as it kicked up its heels and gambolled about upon the grass ; " it 's nice to have all that heavy wool cut off my back , for i sha'n't have to carry it around wherever i go . " " oh , indeed ! " sneered the ram , " you like it , do you ? have you any idea what you look like , all sheared down to your skin ? how would you like to have someone come along and see you , now that you are all head and legs ? "

" oh , i would n't mind , " said the lamb again ; " i shall grow more wool by winter - time , and i 'm sure i do n't look any worse than you do . " some of the sheep looked at the ram and began to giggle , for he was old and thin , and looked very comical indeed without any wool . and this made him so angry that he went off by himself and began eating grass , and would not speak to the others at all . " i do n't know why sheep should feel badly about having their fleeces cut , " remarked the black sheep , thoughtfully , " for the farmer is very kind to us , and so is his dame , and i am glad my wool serves to keep them warm in the winter . for before the snow comes our wool will grow out again , and we shall not be any the worse for our loss .

" what will they do with it , black sheep ? " enquired the little boy . " they will make coats of it , to keep themselves warm . " " i wish i had some wool , " said the boy , " for i need a new coat very badly , and mamma is so poor she can not buy me one . " " that is too bad , " replied the black sheep ; " but i shall have more wool by and by , and then i will give you a bagful to make a new coat from . " " will you really ?

" i am getting along finely , " the black sheep would answer , " for not one sheep in the pasture has so much wool as i have grown already . " " can i do anything to help you ? " asked the little boy . " not that i think of , " replied the sheep , " unless you could get me a little salt . i believe salt helps the wool to grow . " so the boy ran to the house and begged his mother for a handful of salt , and then he came back to the bars , where the black sheep licked it out of his hand . day by day the wool on the sheep grew longer and longer , and even the old ram noticed it and said , " you are foolish to grow so much wool , for the farmer will cut it all off , and it will do you no good . now i am growing just as little as possible , for since he steals what i have i am determined he shall get very little wool from my back .

once upon a time there was a youth called moti , who was very big and strong , but the clumsiest creature you can imagine . so clumsy was he that he was always putting his great feet into the bowls of sweet milk or curds which his mother set out on the floor to cool , always smashing , upsetting , breaking , until at last his father said to him : ' here , moti , are fifty silver pieces which are the savings of years ; take them and go and make your living or your fortune if you can . ' then moti started off one early spring morning with his thick staff over his shoulder , singing gaily to himself as he walked along . in one way and another he got along very well until a hot evening when he came to a certain city where he entered the travellers ' ' serai ' or inn to pass the night . now a serai , you must know , is generally just a large square enclosed by a high wall with an open colonnade along the inside all round to accommodate both men and beasts , and with perhaps a few rooms in towers at the corners for those who are too rich or too proud to care about sleeping by their own camels and horses . moti , of course , was a country lad and had lived with cattle all his life , and he was n't rich and he was n't proud , so he just borrowed a bed from the innkeeper , set it down beside an old buffalo who reminded him of home , and in five minutes was fast asleep .

' this will do very well , ' thought moti as they whirled in at the entrance . as soon as the horse had arrived at its table it stopped of its own accord and moti immediately rolled off ; but he jumped up at once , tied the beast up , and called for some breakfast . presently the afghans appeared , out of breath and furious , and claimed the horse . ' what do you mean ? ' cried moti , with his mouth full of rice , ' it 's my horse ; i paid you fifty pieces of silver for it -- quite a bargain , i 'm sure ! ' ' nonsense ! it is our horse , ' answered one of the afghans beginning to untie the bridle . ' leave off , ' shouted moti , seizing his staff ; ' if you do n't let my horse alone i 'll crack your skulls ! you thieves ! i know you ! last night you took my money , so to - day i took your horse ; that 's fair enough ! '

now the afghans began to look a little uncomfortable , but moti seemed so determined to keep the horse that they resolved to appeal to the law , so they went off and laid a complaint before the king that moti had stolen one of their horses and would not give it up nor pay for it . presently a soldier came to summon moti to the king ; and , when he arrived and made his obeisance , the king began to question him as to why he had galloped off with the horse in this fashion . but moti declared that he had got the animal in exchange for fifty pieces of silver , whilst the horse merchants vowed that the money they had on them was what they had received for the sale of other horses ; and in one way and another the dispute got so confusing that the king ( who really thought that moti had stolen the horse ) said at last , ' well , i tell you what i will do . i will lock something into this box before me , and if he guesses what it is , the horse is his , and if he does n't then it is yours . ' to this moti agreed , and the king arose and went out alone by a little door at the back of the court , and presently came back clasping something closely wrapped up in a cloth under his robe , slipped it into the little box , locked the box , and set it up where all might see .

' now , ' said the king to moti , ' guess ! ' it happened that when the king had opened the door behind him , moti noticed that there was a garden outside : without waiting for the king 's return he began to think what could be got out of the garden small enough to be shut in the box . ' is it likely to be a fruit or a flower ? no , not a flower this time , for he clasped it too tight . then it must be a fruit or a stone . yet not a stone , because he would n't wrap a dirty stone in his nice clean cloth . then it is a fruit ! and a fruit without much scent , or else he would be afraid that i might smell it . now what fruit without much scent is in season just now ? when i know that i shall have guessed the riddle ! ' as has been said before , moti was a country lad , and was accustomed to work in his father 's garden . he knew all the common fruits , so he thought he ought to be able to guess right ; but so as not to let it seem too easy , he gazed up at the ceiling with a puzzled expression , and looked down at the floor with an air or wisdom and his fingers pressed against his forehead , and then he said , slowly , with his eyes on the king,-- ' it is freshly plucked ! it is round and it is red ! it is a pomegranate !
