Lesson 1 - A crow was sitting on a tree, doing nothing all day.
A small rabbit saw the crow, and asked him,

"Can I also sit like you and do nothing all day long?" 

The crow answered: "Sure, why not."

So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the crow, and rested. All of a sudden a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it.

 

Moral of the  story: To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up.

Lesson 2 -  A turkey was chatting with a bull. "I  would love to
be able to get to the top of that tree," sighed the turkey, but I haven't
got the energy. "Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?"
replied the bull. They're packed with nutrients."

 

The  turkey pecked at a lump of dung and found that it actually gave him enough
strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree. The next day, after eating
some more dung, he reached the second branch. Finally after a fourth night,
there he was proudly perched at the top of the tree. Soon he was
promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot the turkey out of the tree. 

 

Moral of the story: Bullshit might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there.
