THE MORAL:


Just because you're fast doesn't mean that you are a winner.  To win, you must never give up.  In the end, the man who wins is the man who doesn't quit.  The race is not always to the swift.

WELFARE IN THE BARNYARD

      THE STORY:





THE MORAL OF THE STORY:    


Why do the work if someone else is going to do it for you?  If you never do things for yourself you will never learn the skills that you need in life.  "Those who don't work...don't eat!"

BEING DIFFERENT

         THE STORY:               





MORAL OF THE STORY:  

Being different doesn't have to be fatal.  You just need to find the crowd that looks most like you, and hang out with them. It isn't how you look that matters so much, it's that you know who you are!
