I FOR THE YOUNG FOLKS
Greediness.
Once a Fox and a Goat were walking
together along a road. After haying
traveled some distance they saw a sack
lying against a hedge.
"What do you think is inside that
sack ?" asked the Goat.
"I will go and see," replied the Fox,
and, putting his nose to the mouth of the
bag, succeeded in shaking off the rope
with which it was tied, when the finest
carrots one could wish for fell out.
"They are for me," said the Fox, "be
cause I opened the sack."
"Yes," said the Goat; "but I gave you
the idea, and if you touch them I'll tear
your sides with my horns."
The Fox looked at the Goat's great
horns and showed his teeth.
The Goat, on seeing the Fox's teeth,
thought that she didn't fancy coming in
contact with such a weapon, and the Fox
said to himself :
"I will not expose my sides to those
formidable horns."
still, and might tear my sides with it."
And to the Goat he said with a laugh,
"Well, I will knockdown my heap, then;
it is nothing for me to do."
He began to dig with his forepaws till
he had made a great hole in the ground.
The stones tottered and fell; but alas!
they fell on the Fox and broke his left
paw. Then the two companions looked
at each other the one with her broken
horns, the other with his broken paw.
"Hun after the carrots," said the Goat
maliciously ; "I will give them up to
you."
"I cannot," answered the Fox, "my
paw hurts me too much. Take them
yourself."
"That is just what I am going to do,"
said the Goat as she ran toward the
hedge ; but neither bag nor carrots were
to be seen. While the two were dis
puting, a peasant, passing that way, had
carried oft the prize.
"Alas !" cried the Goat, "how senseless
we have been! If we had divided the

But just then one appeared and
After a long silence the Fox said in a
friendly tone :
"Why do we stand here looking at each
other? What is the use of that? Let us
see who is the stronger. Look; down
there are two heaps of stones. You shall
take one and I the other. He who first
throws them over his head may eat the
carrots."
"Very well," said the Goat, so they
went to their heaps of stones.
The Goat put her legs firmly together,
and struck with her horns so forcibly
that the ground resounded ; but the heap
did not shake.
"You did not hit hard enough," said
the Fox.
The Goat went three steps backward,
and ran at the heap with all her strength.
But, ci ack ! her horns broke !
When the Fox saw that he began to
skip about as he cried;
"Oh, my dear friend, the carrots belong
to me now !"
. "Not yet," said the Goat; "you have
not succeeded in your task. If you touch
the carrots, I will pierce your side with
the remainder of my horns."
The Fox looked at the Goat, and said
to himself :
"She has more than a half horn left

treasure, my horns would have been
whole and your paw unbroken, in addi
tion to which, each would have had more
carrots than could have been eaten at half
a dozen meals."
White Elephants.
White elephants are not white by any
means. They are a dark cream color and
so scarce as to be greatly prized by the
nations who own them. In Siam they
are worshipped as they are in Burmah
and other Buddhist lands. Money cannot
buy them, and no king who owns one
dare sell it. If he did so his people would
think that the severest penalties would
follow the action.
The King of Siam once sent among
other presents to Queen Victoria a golden
box locked by a golden key. This box
was said to contain the most precious gift
of all. When it was opened it was found
to contain a few hairs from the tail of the
white elephant.
The white elephant is of equal rank
with the king. It has a stable, or more
correctly, a palace with twelve or thirteen
keepers. None but priests are allowed to
serve the sacred beast. The King of Siam
owns two. Their tusks are encircled
