قورباغه سخنگو يا شاهزاده خانم زيبا

An older gentleman was playing a round of golf. Suddenly his ball sliced and landed in a shallow pond. As he was attempting to retrieve the ball he discovered a frog that, to his great surprise, started to speak! "Kiss me, and I will change into a beautiful princess, and I will be yours for a week." He picked up the frog and placed it in his pocket.

As he continued to play golf, the frog repeated its message. "Kiss me, and I will change into a beautiful princess, and I will be yours for a whole month!" The man continued to play his golf game and once again the frog spoke out. "Kiss me, and I will change into a beautiful princess, and I will be yours for a whole year!" Finally, the old man turned to the frog and exclaimed, "At my age, I’d rather have a talking frog!"

پيرمردي، در حال بازي كردن گلف بود. ناگهان توپش به خارج از زمين و داخل بركه‌ي كم‌آبي رفت. همانطور كه در حال براي پيدا كردن مجدد توپ تلاش مي‌كرد با نهايت تعجب متوجه شد كه يك قورباغه  شروع به حرف زدن كرد: مرا ببوس، و من به شاهزاده‌ي زيبا تبديل شوم، و براي يك هفته براي شما خواهم بود. او قورباغه را برداشت و در جيبش گذاشت.

Arthur's Cave

Arthur's Cave

cartref

A long time ago, the farmers of Wales used to send their cattle to England to sell. The drovers would look after them, and walk with them all the way to London.

One day, one of the drovers cut a stick for himself from the branch of a tree. Having arrived in London, he met a Wizard on the street who wanted to know where the stick had come from , and the drover told him.

The drover took the Wizard back to the tree where the stick had come from. They both started digging by the base of the tree. They found some steps that led down to a cave.

They entered the cave, and there they found treasure, some knights in armour and a round table. The Wizard explained that they were          King Arthur and his knights, and that they should be careful not to wake them

The Wizard collected as much gold as he could into his pockets.   In another part of the cave, there was a bell, and the drover rang the bell.

One of the soldiers called out "Who rang the bell? Is Wales ready for us?" "No, go back to sleep" replied the Wizard. Even more soldiers awoke from their sleep and the Wizard said "Sleep on your majesty" The king and his knights went back to sleep once again.

The drover and the Wizard ran out of the cave, and the drover disappeared for ever more. For months afterwards, the wizard searched and searched for the entrance to the cave, but it was never found, and King Arthur and his Knights sleep on, awaiting for the call to help Wales in its hour of need.

Frog Fables and Parables

A fable is a very short story which is meant to illustrate a point or teach us a lesson. Usually, but not always, fables are stories about animals that talk like people. The lesson that a fable teaches us is called a moral.
A parable means something similar. It is usually short fictitious story that illustrates a moral attitude or a religious principle.

Many common sayings come from Aesop?s Fables: ?Don?t count your chickens before they hatch,? and ?Honesty is the best policy,? and ?Look before you leap? are familiar examples. Aesop is believed to have been a Greek slave who made up these stories to make his life easier. Nobody is really sure if Aesop made up these fables. What is certain, however, is that the stories called Aesop's Fables are so wonderful that they have been told over and over again for thousands of years.

Below are some fables in which frogs are characters:

Brown Pants

Long ago, when sailing ships ruled the sea, this captain and his crew were always in danger of being boarded by pirates from a pirate ship.

One day while they were sailing, they saw that a pirate ship had sent a boarding party to try and board their ship. The crew  became worried, but the Captain was calm.

He bellowed to his First Mate, "Bring me my red shirt!"

The First Mate quickly got the Captain's red shirt, which the captain put on. Then he led his crew into battle against the mean pirates. Although there were some casualties among the crew, the pirates were defeated.

Later that day, the lookout screamed that there were two pirate vessels sending two boarding parties towards their ship. The crew was nervous, but the Captain,  calm as ever, bellowed, "Bring me my red shirt!" And once again the battle was on! 

The Captain and his crew fought off the boarding parties, though this time more casualties occurred.

Weary from the battles, the men sat around on deck that night recounting the day's events when an  ensign looked at the Captain and asked, "Sir, why did you call for your red shirt before the battle?"

The Captain, giving the ensign a look that only a captain can give, explained, "If I am wounded in battle, the red shirt does not show the blood, so you men will continue to fight unafraid." The men sat in silence. They were amazed at the courage of such a man.

As dawn came the next morning, the lookout screamed that there were pirate ships, 10 of them, all with boarding parties on their way. The men became silent and looked to the Captain, their leader, for his usual command.

The Captain, calm as ever, bellowed, 'Bring me my brown pants!!!'
