The baby goat gets separated from his flock and is almost eaten by the wolf; however, he manages to escape because he asks the wolf to play music before he eats him. The wolf humors him but the shepherd dogs pick up on the song and chase him, so he ends up not getting the kid. The last line reads "Do not let anything turn you from your purpose" which I really like. It could involve a story with a character who is determined to reach their goal, but may end up distracted and invest in something else too much that they end up failing their goal.
The ass makes a snarky remark towards the lion, but the lion keeps to himself because he doesn't want to "honor" the ass. The last line is "Do not resent the remarks of a fool. Ignore them". This story applies to everyone at some point in their life, so I think the audience could be able to relate easily. I could write a story about someone who does their best to take the high road and ignore the hatred and discuss their struggle to do so.
A pig is picked up by a shepherd and makes loud noises; the sheep find amusement in its reaction and the pig says they have nothing to worry about because he just wants their wool; when it comes to the pig, on the other hand, he wants bacon. The moral is "It is easy to be brave when there is no danger". When I first heard it, I thought of the strength arcana and war. I think it would be better to write about someone teaching a child about bravery and how hard it is to have courage. War is a common topic, but I think this story would be endearing.
