One day the lion was wounded in a fight and had to stay in his cave. He was starving. The fox was so cleaver he told to the lion to eat camel, but lion didn’t agree, but because of fox’s cleaver ness one day lion eat his friend camel. This story tells me lot of things about friend. This story told me never chooses a friend who will leave you in your danger. In this world many people are selfish. If we get those kinds of selfish people as a friend our life will be in danger, so we should avoid those kinds of people either maybe someday we could be in danger. However, from this story I learned never choose a selfish friend, and be careful while choosing your friends. Godfather Death This is a story about a poor man who has twelve children.

He thought if he save king’s daughter he would be the next king, so he save her life. Because of that work doctors godfather was very angry, and he wanted to take revenge, so the godfather took his life. From this story, I learned greed is always bad for mankind. It also destroys our life. From ancient time to now who had greed in their mind, they were destroyed. Greed never gives peace. In this story, if the doctor did not have greed then he will be alive, but because of his gluttony, he has to die.
