Title: The Ant and the Grasshopper
Good morning everyone,
Today, I would like to share with you a well-known fable called "The Ant and the Grasshopper." This story teaches us an important lesson about the value of hard work and preparation.
Once upon a time, in a sunny meadow, there lived an ant and a grasshopper. The ant was diligent and hardworking, while the grasshopper loved to play and enjoy life. As summer approached, the ant began to gather food and store it in its anthill, preparing for the upcoming winter. The grasshopper, on the other hand, spent its days singing and dancing, not worrying about the future.
When winter arrived, the meadow became covered in a thick layer of snow. The ant stayed warm and well-fed in its cozy anthill, while the grasshopper struggled to find food and shelter. Hungry and freezing, the grasshopper approached the ant and asked for help. The ant, remembering the grasshopper's laziness during the summer, refused to help and said, "Why should I help you? You had all summer to prepare, but you chose to have fun instead."
This fable teaches us the importance of hard work and planning for the future. Just like the ant, we must be diligent and responsible. We should not waste our time and resources on unimportant things, but instead, use them wisely to prepare for challenges and uncertainties that may lie ahead.
In our lives, we often have goals and dreams that we want to achieve. However, without putting in the necessary effort and preparation, we may find ourselves in difficult situations like the grasshopper. This story reminds us that success does not come without hard work and dedication.
So, let us all learn from the ant and be diligent in our studies, work, and personal endeavors. By setting goals, developing good habits, and making wise choices, we can ensure a better future for ourselves. Remember, just like the ant, preparation and hard work are the keys to success.
Thank you for listening.

Title: The Tortoise and the Hare
Ladies and gentlemen,
Today, I would like to share with you a famous fable called "The Tortoise and the Hare." This story teaches us a valuable lesson about the importance of perseverance and determination.
Once upon a time, in a peaceful forest, there lived a tortoise and a hare. The hare was known for its speed and agility, while the tortoise was slow and steady. One day, the hare challenged the tortoise to a race, confident in its ability to win easily. The tortoise, though slow, accepted the challenge with determination.
As the race began, the hare quickly darted ahead, leaving the tortoise far behind. Seeing the hare's lead, the tortoise remained calm and focused on its own pace. Along the way, the hare grew overconfident and decided to take a nap, thinking it had plenty of time to win the race. Meanwhile, the tortoise continued to plod along, never giving up.
When the hare woke up, it was shocked to see the tortoise nearing the finish line. With a burst of energy, the hare sprinted towards the end but it was too late. The slow and steady tortoise had already crossed the finish line, winning the race.
This fable teaches us that slow and steady wins the race. It reminds us that even if we may not be the fastest or the most talented, with perseverance and determination, we can achieve our goals and overcome challenges.
In our lives, we often face obstacles and setbacks that may make us want to give up. However, just like the tortoise, we must stay focused on our own journey and keep moving forward. It is not always the quickest start or the most impressive talent that leads to success. It is the consistent effort and refusal to give up that ultimately brings victory.
So, let us all learn from the tortoise and embrace the power of perseverance. By setting goals, staying determined, and never losing faith in ourselves, we can achieve great things. Remember, slow and steady wins the race.
Thank you for your attention.

A man walking in the night slipped from a rock. Afraid that he would fall down thousands of feet, because he knew that place was a very deep valley, he took hold of a branch that was hanging over the rock. In the night all he couls see was a bottomless abyss. He shouted, his own shout reflected back--there was nobody to hear.
You can imagine that man and his whole night of scare. Every moment there was death, his hands were becoming cold, he was losing his gripand as the sun came out he looked down and he laughed. There was no abyss. Just six inches down there was a rock. He could have rested the whole night, slept well---the rock was big enough---but the whole night was a nightmare.
Fear is only six inches deep. Now it is up to you whether you want to go on cling to the branch and turn your life into a nightmare, or whether you would love to leave the branch and stand on your feet.
There is nothing to fear.

The Father and His Son
Father had a family of sons who were perpetually quarrelling 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 each tried with all their strength, and were not able to do it.
