#DailyStoryReading. If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be very intelligent, read them more fairy tales. Part 16 and 17. 24/3/2014 __________________________________ 16 The Mole And His Mother A MOLE, a creature blind from birth, once said to his Mother: I am sure than I can see,Mother! In the desire to prove to him his mistake, his Mother placed before him a few grains of frankincense, and asked, What is it? The young Mole said, It is a pebble. His Mother exclaimed: My son, I am afraid that you are not only blind, but that you have lost your sense of smell. _________________________________ 17 The Herdsman And The Lost Bull A HERDSMAN tending his flock in a forest lost a Bull-calf from the fold. After a long and fruitless search, he made a vow that, if he could only discover the thief who had stolen the Calf, he would offer a lamb in sacrifice to Hermes, Pan, and the Guardian Deities of the forest. Not long afterwards, as he ascended a small hillock, he saw at its foot a Lion feeding on the Calf. Terrified at the sight, he lifted his eyes and his hands to heaven, and said: Just now I vowed to offer a lamb to the Guardian Deities of the forest if I could only find out who had robbed me; but now that I have discovered the thief, I would willingly add a full-grown Bull to the Calf I have lost, if I may only secure my own escape from him in safety.
