The Wolf Who Would Be a Lion
In this entertaining moral story, a foolish man, convinced of his own greatness, becomes a Commissioner for an exhibition of the mentally challenged and is mistakenly treated as one of the exhibits himself. As he is taken away to a glass case, he laments his ambition and wishes he had been content with his ordinary life, highlighting the best moral of the story: the dangers of overestimating oneself. This easy small story with a moral serves as a poignant reminder of the value of humility.
