The lion and the farmer in love.
The lion fell in love with the farmer's daughter and proposed to her. The farmer could not bear to marry his daughter to a wild beast, but he was afraid of lions and could not refuse for a while, so he was in a hurry and came up with a plan. When the lion came again to ask the farmer, he said that he thought it fitting for the lion to marry his daughter, but that the lion could not marry him unless he had his teeth removed and his claws chopped off, because the girl was afraid of these things.
The lion was so dazed and confused that he easily accepted the farmer's request. From that time on the farmer looked down on the lion and was not afraid of him. When the lion returned, the farmer beat him with a stick and tied him up.
This story illustrates how easily some people take the words of others and abandon their own strengths, and as a result, they are easily defeated by those who fear them.

Vain jackdaw.
Zeus wanted to set up a king for the birds, set a date, and asked all the birds to attend on time in order to choose the most beautiful of them as king. The birds ran into the river to freshen up. The jackdaw, knowing that he was not pretty, went to the river, picked up the feathers that had fallen off the birds, carefully inserted them all on himself, and glued them together.
When the appointed day came, all the birds came to Zeus together. Zeus saw at a glance the colorful jackdaw, which was particularly beautiful among the birds, and was ready to make him king. The birds were so angry that they plucked their own feathers from the jackdaws.
So, the beautiful feathers on the jackdaw were all gone, and it became an ugly jackdaw again.
The story is that you can get the illusion of beauty with the help of other people's things, but when you are stripped of what is not your own, your original form will be revealed.

Camel with Zeus.
When the camel saw the ox showing off its beautiful horns, he was envious and wanted to have two horns himself. So, he came to Zeus and asked for a pair of horns to be added to him. Zeus was so angry that the camel was not satisfied with his large body and great strength, and that he wanted to get more, and not only did he not let him grow horns, but also cut off a large part of his ears.
This story illustrates that many people are so insatiable that they turn red at the sight of other people's things, and unknowingly lose what they already have.
