The fisherman and the demon
The lesson being taught in this story is to be grateful when luck comes your way. The demon was stuck in the bottle for hundred and hundred of years but the first few hundred he promised to make the man to save him very rich. As more time when by he got angry and swore to kill the man who saved him. Instead of being thankful to the fisherman who saved him he tried to kill him. Luckily the fisherman realized he could outsmart this demon and when he did, he swore to make sure this doesn’t happen to anyone else again. This lesson is taught using the actions of the demon to basically show how being ungrateful gets you nowhere except back where you started. It does a good job to portray the consequences of the actions of the demon, which get him sent back to sea where he will be left for many years.

The Husband and the Parrot

The lesson being taught in this story is to not make decisions so quickly that you will regret them.  The man was angry he was being cheated on by his “perfect” wife and was acting out of rage.  The parrot helped him the first night and the second night was tricked by the maids buy order of his wife. The parrot told the truth to the husband and was so angry he didn’t believe him and thought the parrot was against him as well. This decision left him tremendous remorse about what he had done when the neighbors told him what the wife had done. The lesson is taught by the remorse and regret he had after he killed the parrot.  He acted to quickly because he was angry about his wife and made a decision on impulse and it had consequences. The delivery of the story does a good job to explain the effects of impulse decisions and how people can be manipulated by emotions.
