I have always loved a good story that educates, especially fables with a moral at the end. Here is one of my favorites that you may have heard before.

A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold, the bird froze and fell to the ground into a large field. While she was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on her. As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, she began to realize how warm she was getting, as the dung was actually thawing her out. She lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy. A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate. Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, promptly dug her out and ate her.

Moral of the story:

Not everyone who shits on you is your enemy.
Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend.
And if you are happy in deep shit, its best to keep your mouth shut.

There was once a dog who used to live at a train station. One day, the dog fell asleep by the railroad tracks and left his tail on one of the tracks. Of course, eventually a train rolled by and ran over the tip of his tail. The dog was surprised and awoken by this sudden jolt and turned around to see what happened to his poor tail. When he turned his head, it too, got caught under the train and killed him dead.

Moral of the story:

Don't lose your head over a lil piece of tail
