[edit] The monkey and the hyena
One day a monkey was passing near a farm where peas and beans were growing. The monkey was very hungry and started to eat, sitting in the middle of the crop. There the monkey was happily eating without giving the owner of the field a thought.
But suddenly the farmer appeared and saw the monkey, and he decided to catch it, which he did.
Since the farmer did not have a sick to beat the monkey with, and he tied it to a tree and went in search of a big stick.
Now a hungry hyena came out of the forest and saw the monkey. He wanted to eat it as he was very hungry, but first he asked, "Why are you tied to a tree?"
The monkey replied, "The farmer who owns this farm has been bringing me many kinds of delicious food, but I became surfeited and refused to eat any more. This angered him, and he tied me to his tree."
The hyena thought that he could get better food than eating the monkey and said, "Why don't you tie me to the tree, and I will eat the food instead of you?"
The monkey agreed to do this, and when it was freed, it tied the hyena to the tree, and then it climbed a tree to be able to see what would happen.
When the farmer came with his stick, he became even more angry when he realized that the monkey had escaped, and he started to beat the hyena. The hyena began to cry at the top if his voice, "I'll eat your food! 'I'll eat your food!"
But this mad the farmer even more angry, and he beat the hyena to death.
The monkey in the tree was smiling to itself because of the foolishness of the hyena.
[edit] Sayings
not actually folk tales but "The frog wanted to be as big as the elephant, and burst." comes from here, there are other things there that might be fun to say. Throwing in a lot of "you know what they say"'s could be fun?
[edit] Movies
This is sort of OK, the aesthetic is interesting, and there are lots of links to other videos I haven't watched in the sidebar of the actual video page
