They approached her and asked if she'd like to stick together for a while. She gave a full-toothed smirk. "It might not be a bad idea to always have a couple of plump snacks nearby." Wild Wallaby laughed and hopped off. "You'd have to catch me first." The Cranky Crocodile snapped her jaws at him. "Don't tempt me." Kind Koala couldn't tell whether or not she was joking.

"The Fables" of Jean de La Fontaine are classics of French literature. They supply delights to three different ages: the child rejoices in the freshness and vividness of the story, the eager student of literature in the consummate art with which it is told, the experienced man of the world in the subtle reflections on character and life which it conveys. "The Fables" were regarded as providing an excellent education in morals for children, and the first edition was dedicated to the six-year old Dauphin, the Eldest Son of the King.

Humble Heron flapped his big, blue wings as fast as he could. He knew he shouldn't have flown so far away from Fala Forest on Gathering Day. Especially not the day before the festival.

The sand sparkled like diamonds and the waves crashed to the shore with loads of bubbly bubbles. But now he needed to hurry home. He didn't want his family to worry. His wings began to tire out. But he didn't want to be late. So he beat them faster, again, and again, and again.
