Dear Mom,

Happy Mother’s Day! Now that I am a mother, I’m realizing just what you went through with me.
You were always so patient and kind even when you had to sacrifice what you were doing to help
me. I admire your intelligence. I know you gave up your dreams of being a pharmacist when I came
along. I can't imagine all the dreams you actually gave up just for me and because of me, but I am
glad you are my mom.

Whenever I had faced hard times in school, you were there to encourage me. Learning how to make
friends, dealing with hurts, feeling alone, and learning how to navigate through the craziness of
growing up—I knew I could turn to you for answers.

What I appreciate is that you wouldn’t just see what I went through and just tell me what to do.
The point is that you would actually take time out of your day to listen to me and my problems. I do
that with my daughter now, and I realize how much I love doing this.

Thank you for your example to me. Again, I love you and Happy Mother’s Day.

Lots of love,
Seo Ye Ji

One day, a fox became very hungry as he went to search for some food. He searched high and low,
but couldn’t find something that he could eat.
Finally, as his stomach rumbled, he stumbled upon a farmer’s wall. At the top of the wall, he saw
the biggest, juiciest grapes he’d ever seen. They had a rich, purple colour, telling the fox they were ready
to be eaten.
To reach the grapes, the fox had to jump high in the air. As he jumped, he opened his mouth to
catch the grapes, but he missed. The fox tried again but missed yet again.
He tried a few more times but kept failing.
Finally, the fox decided it was time to give up and go home. While he walked away, he muttered,
―I’m sure the grapes were sour anyway.‖

to prevent it, Midas pleaded that this was a fantastic wish, and so, it was bestowed.

But soon, Midas became hungry. As he picked up a piece of food, he found he couldn’t eat it. It had
turned to gold in his hand.
Hungry, Midas groaned, ―I’ll starve! Perhaps this was not such an excellent wish after all!‖ Seeing

she, too, turned to gold. ―The golden touch is no blessing,‖ Midas cried.

Once upon a time, in a desert far away, there was a rose who was so proud of her beautiful
looks. Her only complaint was growing next to an ugly cactus.
Every day, the beautiful rose would insult and mock the cactus on his looks, all while the cactus
remained quiet. All the other plants nearby tried to make the rose see sense, but she was too swayed by
her own looks.
One scorching summer, the desert became dry, and there was no water left for the plants. The
rose quickly began to wilt. Her beautiful petals dried up, losing their lush colour.
Looking to the cactus, she saw a sparrow dip his beak into the cactus to drink some water.
Though ashamed, the rose asked the cactus if she could have some water. The kind cactus readily
agreed, helping them both through the tough summer, as friends.

 Teeth of The Elephant
Once a hungry mouse found a small nut. He started to bite into it but its cover was hard and
thick. The mouse's tiny teeth could not cut into it. The irritated mouse prayed aloud to God, "Oh God!
Why did you give me such tiny teeth? I have food here but I cannot eat."
Immediately he heard God's voice, "Dear Mouse, go and look at the other animals teeth.
Whosoever's teeth you like, will be given to you."
So the mouse went to the forest nearby. He looked at the teeth of many animals living there. But
he did not like their teeth at all. At last the mouse went to the elephant. He was much impressed by the
long, white tusks of the elephant. The little mouse asked the elephant,
"Sir, are you happy with your long beautiful teeth?"
At this, the elephant replied, "Friend, these teeth are just for show. I cannot use them to chew
food like you do. At least you don't have to bear the heavy weight of your teeth." Hearing this, the
mouse thanked God for giving him the tiny teeth.
