The royal dogs were naughty and chewed up the king's harnesses for his horses, but the king doesn't realize it was them. He orders all the dogs of the city to be killed, except for his own royal dogs. When the chief of the dogs hears this he goes to the king and demands justice, explaining that the royal dogs are the guilty one. Those dogs are made to vomit and are proven to be guilty, and the king immediately retracts his order and takes good care of the city's dogs.
The Fairy and the Hare
By: Noor Inayat
The hare and his friends decide that they will fast for a day and give any food they find to the poor and needy. The three friends steal food to give away, but the hare has nothing so he decides that he will give his own body up to eat if someone passes by. A cruel fairy takes advantage of the situation and disguises herself as a beggar to coerce the hare into giving his life. Luckily, the hare jumps into the flames but they are cool and did not burn him.
The Golden Feathers
By: Noor Inayat
A poor man leaves his family to go find money, when he stumbles across a fairy who turns him into a goose with golden feathers. He goes back to his wife (of course, she doesn't know it's him), and tells her to pick one of his feathers and go sell it and that he will come back every day. This continues for some time and the wife is doing quite well for herself. One day, she gets greedy and decides to fully pluck the goose. However, an enchantment was placed that if the goose was ever stripped completely, his feathers would no longer be gold, so they all turned white and the wife had nothing. Her greed prevented her from getting anything.

A master encourages his students to go to a place where no one is watching and steal money to sustain him. All of his pupils jump to it except one, who says that even when no other people are around, his own self is watching and he would rather beg than watch himself steal. The master was happy at his student's understanding of his task.
