This story is about a monstrous crab who tortures all the animals coming to one of the only lakes around to drink. He kills the innocent animals and feasts on them until a pair of elephants decides they've had enough and they trick him then kill him. I pictured the crab as Tamatoa from Moana, a giant crab who is only out to benefit himself and doesn't care about anyone else!

A man steals his friend's plough to sell as his own, and when his friend finds out he takes matters into his own hands. He takes the dishonest friend's son for a "walk" where he actually places him in the home of another friend, but tells the father that the son was taken away by a hawk. Of course, the dishonest man knows a hawk didn't steal his son, but the man uses this to make his point that obviously a rat didn't eat his plough. In the end, the dishonest man returns the plough, gets his son back, and learns that he should be more honest.

A farmer takes a liking to a resident mouse, bringing him dinner every night and enjoying his companionship. When the farmer's cat tries to kill the mouse, the mouse makes a deal that he'll bring the cat juicy meat every night in exchange for not eating him. The mouse grows skinnier and skinnier and when the farmer notices, he decides to kill the cat rather than coming up with some other solution like giving the mouse and the cat both meat. A little extreme.

This story is actually pretty deep, talking about the problem of people pretending to be pious and put on a holier-than-thou act, when in reality they go back to their own ways in the snap of a finger. The wolf claims he's going to fast and is so holy, but the second a temptation comes forward he turns into his normal self.
