The Ant and the Grasshopper. Some Ants and a Grasshopper are the main characters. The story reminded me of people who waste all of their money instead of saving some for bad times. And then when they run out of money, they start to rue their luck similar to the grasshopper. I liked how the story was told. The lesson it provided should be heeded by everyone: It is best to prepare for the days of necessity.
The Woodman and the Serpent. A man and his family and a Serpent are the characters of this story. This story shows that no matter how hard you try or trust, bad things tend to stay bad. The man brought the Serpent home and brought it back to life, but it's instinct when alive is to kill things. Hence, Crane provided this lesson: Beware how you entertain traitors.

The Wind and the Sun. I heard of this story when I was little, hence, it is on this list. It was fun to read and recall from childhood. I like how it was the Sun who suggested how they should resolve their dispute knowing that he would win as the only way to have someone take off their clock is making them warm not cool.
The Man and His Two Wives. I liked this story as the ending was really funny as the two wives made their husband bald trying to make him look better. Hence, the lesson: Yield to all and you will soon have nothing to yield.
