One Winter a Farmer found a Snake stiff and frozen with cold.
He had compassion on it, and taking it up, placed it in his bosom.
The Snake was quickly revived by the warmth, and resuming its natural instincts, bit its benefactor, inflicting on him a mortal wound.
“Oh,” cried the Farmer with his last breath, “I am rightly served for pitying a scoundrel.”
Moral:
The greatest kindness will not bind the ungrateful.

An Eagle and a Fox formed an intimate friendship and decided to live near each other.
The Eagle built her nest in the branches of a tall tree, while the Fox crept into the underwood and there produced her young.
Not long after they had agreed upon this plan, the Eagle, being in want of provision for her young ones, swooped down while the Fox was out, seized upon one of the little cubs, and feasted herself and her brood.
The Fox on her return, discovered what had happened, but was less grieved for the death of her young than for her inability to avenge them. A just retribution, however, quickly fell upon the Eagle.
While hovering near an altar, on which some villagers were sacrificing a goat, she suddenly seized a piece of the flesh, and carried it, along with a burning cinder, to her nest.
A strong breeze soon fanned the spark into a flame, and the eaglets, as yet unfledged and helpless, were roasted in their nest and dropped down dead at the bottom of the tree.
There, in the sight of the Eagle, the Fox gobbled them up.
Moral:
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

An Eagle, overwhelmed with sorrow, sat upon the branches of a tree in company with a Kite.
“Why,” said the Kite, “do I see you with such a rueful look?”
“I seek,” she replied, “a mate suitable for me, and am not able to find one.”
“Take me,” returned the Kite, “I am much stronger than you are.”
“Why, are you able to secure the means of living by your plunder?” Eagle asked.
“Well, I have often caught and carried away an ostrich in my talons.” The Eagle, persuaded by these words, accepted him as her mate.
Shortly after the nuptials, the Eagle said, “Fly off and bring me back the ostrich you promised me.”
The Kite, soaring aloft into the air, brought back the shabbiest possible mouse, stinking from the length of time it had lain about the fields.
“Is this,” said the Eagle, “the faithful fulfillment of your promise to me?”
The Kite replied, “That I might attain your royal hand, there is nothing that I would not have promised, however much I knew that I must fail in the performance.”

Clinton, distraught and contemplating his latest scandal was walking through Washington looking for any kind of guidance. He walks up to the Washington Monument, looks up and says, “George, you were always wise, what should I do?” Low and behold, a voice comes down from above and says, “ABOLISH THE I.R.S. AND START OVER.”
Clinton, amazed that he is talking to the past President thinks he’ll try it again. He walks over to the Jefferson Memorial and utters the same request to Americas author of the Declaration of Independence and one of its great early philosophers. “Thomas, you never had these kind of problems, what can I do to rally people behind me?” Again a voice from above answers, “WELFARE, IT’S NOT WORKING, ABOLISH IT, START OVER.”
After hearing this Clinton is so excited he is planning to go to all the historic sites for guidance. Next he goes to the Lincoln Memorial for guidance from the President who met his untimely death after winning the Civil War and keeping the country unified. “Abe, I need your help, people are losing confidence in me and they no longer trust me what should I do?” After a substantial pause Abe responds, “TAKE THE DAY OFF, GO TO THE THEATER.”

An Eagle, flying down from his perch on a lofty rock, seized upon a lamb and carried him aloft in his talons.
A Jackdaw, who witnessed the capture of the lamb, was stirred with envy and determined to emulate the strength and flight of the Eagle.
He flew around with a great whir of his wings and settled upon a large ram, with the intention of carrying him off, but his claws became entangled in the ram’s fleece and he was not able to release himself, although he fluttered with his feathers as much as he could.
The shepherd, seeing what had happened, ran up and caught him. He at once clipped the Jackdaw’s wings, and taking him home at night, gave him to his children.
On their saying, “Father, what kind of bird is it?.”
He replied, “To my certain knowledge he is a Daw; but he would like you to think an Eagle.”

Hillary Clinton and her driver were cruising along a country road one evening when a cow ran in front of the car. The driver tried to avoid it but couldn’t – the cow was killed.
Hillary told her driver to go up to the farmhouse and explain to the owners what happened.
About an hour later, the driver staggered back to the car with his clothes in disarray. He was holding a bottle of wine in one hand, a cigar in the other and smiling happily.
“What happened?” asked Hillary.
“Well,” the driver replied, “the farmer gave me the wine, his wife gave me the cigar, and their beautiful daughter made mad passionate love to me.”
“My God, what did you tell them?” asked Hillary.
The driver replied: “I’m Hillary Clinton’s driver, and I just killed the cow.”
