(Plus, there's a dragon!) This beloved Chinese folktale is adapted for grades 4-12. The 2-page teacher guide includes relevant background information, a story summary, essential questions, te

Drama ensued, and many things in the animal world were explained in the process. For example, explanations for why cats and mice hate each other, why oxen hold their heads low, why horses are jumpy, why snakes don't have legs, why goats have bad eyes, why monkeys have red bottoms, and why chickens now have only two legs (appar

This is a compilation of three of the Panchatantra folktales from India. The Panchatantra was created to teach Hindu princes morality and behavior.
