The ones that teach a moral are my favorite.

1. The Fox and the goat
Jean de La Fontaine's Fable Poem: The Fox And The Goat
Moral: Never trust the advice of someone in difficulties

2-
The Cricket and the ant
La Fontaine Fables : THE GRASSHOPPER AND THE ANT - La Cigale et la Fourmi
Moral:
Lazy people do not deserve to get any help. They should remember they spent their time having fun while other where working hard.


3. The Wolf and the Lamb
http://www.recmusic.org/lieder/get_t...ml?TextId=5710
Moral: Any excuse will serve a tyrant.
The strongest ones always triumph,no justice for the weak no matter how right they are.
