The Boy with the Stomach-ache

A Boy at a celebration gets greedy on Bull entrails. Gets sick. Learns lesson.

What is taken in greed will one day cause pain, for it was never truly ours.

A Farmer sows his field; Starlings take advantage. The Farmer tells is son to give him a sling when he calls for bread. Starlings gone.

Judge others by their actions, not by the words they speak.

A Sculptor carved a statue that two people saw different uses for.

Respect others’ heroes as you wish yours to be respected.

To some, solitude brings more comfort than crowds. Old wounds often ache in familiar places.

Those who praise what is ugly as if it were lovely lose both good judgment and the gods’ favor.
