The Fox and the Goat
I think moral of this fable is think before you leap. It is the moral because in the story the goat did not think about his choice and foolishly jumped in without thinking of the consequence. This relates to couple of quotes I've heard which are:
1-Think before you speak
2-Look both ways before crossing a street
These quotes relate to the moral because the general meaning of these quotes are to pay attention and think. To sum up I believe the moral of the story is think before you leap.

The Crow and the Pitcher

I think the moral of this fable is will finds a way. This means that that what ever goals you set you always find a way of accomplishing it. The connection I have is that one goal of mine was to be faster in swimming and I set my mind to become faster and I accomplished that goal.
The Fisher and the Little Fish


I think the moral of the fable is a small gain is bigger than a big promise. This means that if you gained something even if it is a small gain it is better to keep that gain than trust in a big promise that is less likely to to be accomplished. A connection Ihave is that I keep that gain when it comes buy.

Lit

The Wolf in Sheep's Clothing


I think that the moral of this story is that looks can be deceiving. This means that you should not trust everything you see because what you see may not be what it really is. It is this because in the text it said the wolf took the mothers skin and tricked the sheep into thinking that it is a sheep. The connection I have to this story is the character Sherlock Holmes because he says you see but you don't observe. This means that we see the same thing but i see the meaning and purpose of it. To sum up I think the moral is looks can be deceiving.
