Authors note: The ox was very strong and could pull many pounds but whenever his owner bet he could win a bet he talked badly to him. The ox didn't like that and could not pull the load but the next day the owner talked nicely to the ox and was able to win double the amount of money for another bet.

Story Week 10
It was one of the biggest days for college golf and the coach had big money on his players for this very important round. He was betting with some of the locals that his boys would play the best that day. He had a lot of confidence in his team and knew they would perform when the pressure was on so he decided to bet a large amount of money that his boys would shoot the lowest. They were going against the best team in the country and while it was going to be hard he still knew how good they were playing and wanted to win big on this bet. The round started and his boys got off to a rough start falling behind early. The coach began to get really angry and yell at his players for playing bad. All of his players had never seen their coach like that and shut down completely. They finished the round and lost to the better team. Their coach yelled and screamed at them to play better because he had just lost a large amount of money due to their poor play. Once they got back home all the players questioned their coach on why he acted so poorly. He had never once yelled at them when they were home and that was part of the reason they always played good. The coach realized what he had did and apologized to his players for his poor behavior. He promised to never act like that again and said he would be encouraging again in their next round. The next week his team was back facing the best team in the country again. This time he bet twice the amount before because he knew what he had to do to make his boys come out on top. The locals gladly took the bet as they had seen how poorly his team had played before. They started the round and his boys once again fell behind early but behind the encouragement of their coach they battled back to beat the best team in the country by 1 shot on the last hole.

Week 10 Readings
Monkey and the Crocodile: The monkey gets conned by the crocodile by getting a ride from the crocodile. The crocodile starts to kill the monkey by drowning him but because the monkey was quick witted he said that he had left his heart up in the tree and would need to go back to get it. He was able to trick the crocodile into letting him get back on land and safe his life.
How the Turtle saved his own life: He was able to save his life by tricking the people that going into the water would be worse than leaving them to die by the hands of the people. He would much rather be in the water and was able to escape his certain death.
The Merchant of Siri: The first merchant didn't want to buy the bowl for what its actual value was but the second merchant was honest and paid all he could for it and that ended up being great for him in the long run.
The turtle who couldn't stop talking: All the turtle had to do was not talk and hold on to the stick with its mouth but instead it talked and fell to its death.
The Ox who won the forfeit: The ox was very strong and could pull many pounds but whenever his owner bet he could win a bet he talked badly to him. The ox didn't like that and could not pull the load but the next day the owner talked nicely to the ox and was able to win double the amount of money for another bet.
The Quarrel of the Quails: The quails worked together at first but the catcher was able to get them whenever they weren't working together to catch them in his net and sell them for a good price.
The measure of Rice: The vaulor was able to set the prices of all the objects and to impress the kind he made a measure of rice worth 500 horses but it backfired when the king said 500 horses would be worth his whole city thus making the measure of rice worth a whole city.
The Foolish, Timid Rabbit: The rabbit heard a coconut fall out of a tree and gets scared and starts running. He tells people the world is breaking and other animals join in. IT is not until the lion says that it was just a coconut that the animals all stop running for no reason.
The lion stops the animals running
