Here's a random fable from the book:

The Lion, The Bear, and the Fox

038. THE LION, THE BEAR, AND THE FOX. A lion and a bear fell together by the ears over the carcase of a fawn, which they found in the forest, their title to him being to be decided by force of arms. The battle was severe and tough on both sides, and they held it out, tearing and worrying one another so long, that, what with wounds and fatigue, they were so faint and weary, they were not able to strike another stroke.
Thus, while they lay upon the ground, panting and lolling out their tongues, a fox chanced to pass that way, who perceiving how the case stood, very impudently stept in between them, seized the booty which they had all this while been contending for, and carried it off.
The two combatants, who lay and beheld all this, without having strength enough to stir and prevent it, were only wise enough to make this reflection: Behold the fruits of our strife and contention! That villain the fox bears away the prize, and we ourselves have deprived each other of the power to recover it from him. [more info]

The Old Woman and her Maids

037. THE OLD WOMAN AND HER MAIDS. A certain old woman had several maids, whom she used to call up to their work, every morning, at the crowing of the cock. The wenches, who found it grievous to have their sweet sleep disturbed so early, combined together, and killed the cock, thinking that when the alarm was gone, they might enjoy themselves in their warm beds a little longer.
The old woman, grieved for the loss of her cock, and having, by some means or other, discovered the whole plot, was resolved to be even with them: for, from that time, she obliged them to rise constantly at midnight. [more info]

The Kite, The Frog, and the Mouse

035. THE KITE, THE FROG, AND THE MOUSE. There was once a great emulation between the frog and the mouse, which should be master of the fen, and wars ensued upon it; but the crafty mouse, lurking under the grass in ambuscade, made sudden sallies, and often surprised the enemy at a disadvantage. The frog excelling in strength, and being more able to leap abroad and take the field, challenged the mouse to single combat; the mouse accepted the challenge, and each of them entered the lists, armed with the point of a bulrush instead of a spear. A kite, sailing in the air, beheld them afar off; and while they were eagerly bent upon each other, and pressing on to the duel, this fatal enemy descended souse upon them, and with her crooked talons carried off both the champions. [more info]

The Birds, The Beasts, and the Bat

030. THE BIRDS, THE BEASTS, AND THE BAT. Once upon a time, there commenced a fierce war between the birds and the beasts, when the bat, taking advantage of his ambiguous make, hoped by that means to live secure in a state of neutrality, and save his bacon.
It was not long before the forces on each side met, and gave battle; and their animosities running very high, a bloody slaughter ensued. The bat, at the beginning of the day, thinking the birds most likely to carry it, listed himself among them, but kept fluttering at a little distance, that he might the better observe and take his measures accordingly.
However, after some time spent in the action, the army of the beasts seeming to prevail, he went entirely over to them, and endeavoured to convince them, by the affinity which he had to a mouse, that he was by nature a beast, and would always continue firm and true to their interest.
His plea was admitted; but, in the end, the advantage turning completely on the side of the birds, under the admirable conduct and courage of their general, the eagle, the bat, to save his life, and escape the disgrace of falling into the hands of his deserted friends, betook himself to flight; and ever since, skulking in caves and hollow trees all day, as if ashamed to show himself, he never appears till the dusk of the evening, when all the feathered inhabitants of the air are gone to roost.

The Dog in the Manger

029. THE DOG IN THE MANGER. A dog was lying in a manger full of hay; an ox, being hungry, came near and offered to eat of the hay; but the envious ill-natured cur, getting up and snarling at him, would not suffer him to touch it; upon which the ox, in the bitterness of his heart, said, “A curse light on thee, for a malicious wretch who wilt neither eat the hay thyself, nor suffer others to do it.” [more info]

The Ape and the Fox

028. THE APE AND THE FOX. The ape, meeting the fox one day, humbly requested him to give him a piece of his fine long brush tail to cover his poor naked backside, which was so exposed to all the violence and inclemency of the weather; “for,” says he, “Reynard, you have already more than you have occasion for, and a great part of it even drags along in the dirt.”
The fox answered, that as to his having too much, that was more than he knew; but, be it as it would, he had rather sweep the ground with his tail as long as he lived, than deprive himself of the least bit to cover the ape's nasty stinking posteriors. [more info]

The Dove and the Ant

108. THE DOVE AND THE ANT. The ant, compelled by thirst, went to drink in a clear, purling rivulet, but the current, with its circling eddy, snatched her away, and carried her down the stream. A dove, pitying her distressed condition, cropt a branch from a neighbouring tree, and let it fall into the water, by means of which the ant saved fièrself and got ashore.
Not long after, a fowler having a design upon the dove, planted his nets in due order, without the bird's observing what he was about, which the ant perceiving, just as he was going to put his design in execution, she bit him by the heel, and made him give so sudden a start, that the dove took the alarm, and flew away. [more info]

The Peacock and the Magpie

104. THE PEACOCK AND THE MAGPIE. The birds met together upon a time to choose a king; and the peacock standing candidate, displayed his gaudy plumes, and catched the eyes of the silly multitude with the richness of his feathers: the majority declared for him, and clapped their wings with great applause.
But, just as they were going to proclaim him, the magpie stept forth into the midst of the assembly, and addressed himself thus to the new king: “May it please your majesty elect to permit one of your unworthy subjects to represent to you his suspicions and apprehensions in the face of this whole congregation: we have chosen you for our king, we have put our lives and fortunes into your hands, and our whole hope and dependence is upon you; if, therefore, the eagle, the vulture, or the kite, should at any time make a descent upon us, as it is highly probable they will, may your majesty be so gracious as to dispel our fears, and clear our doubts about that matter, by letting us know how you intend to defend us against them?”
This pithy, unanswerable question drew the whole audience into so just a reflection, that they soon resolved to proceed to a new choice. But from that time the peacock has been looked upon as a vain, insignificant pretender, and the magpie esteemed as eminent a speaker as any among the whole community of birds. [more info]

The Horse and the Loaded Ass

100. THE HORSE AND THE LOADED ASS. An idle horse, and an ass labouring under a heavy burden, were travelling the road together; they both belonged to a country fellow, who trudged it on foot by them. The ass, ready to faint under his heavy load, entreated the horse to assist him, and lighten his burden by taking some of it upon his back. The horse was ill-natured, and refused to do it; upon which the poor ass tumbled down in the midst of the highway, and expired in an instant.
The countryman ungirthed his pack-saddle, and tried several ways to relieve him, but all to no purpose: which, when he perceived, he took the whole burden and laid it upon the horse, together with the skin of the dead ass; so that the horse by his moroseness in refusing to do a small kindness, justly brought upon himself a greater inconvenience. [more info]

The Old Lion

099. THE OLD LION. A lion, worn out with age, lay fetching his last gasp and agonizing in the convulsive struggles of death: upon which occasion, several of the beasts who had formerly been sufferers by him, came and revenged themselves upon him. The boar, with his mighty tusks, drove at him in a stroke that glanced like lightning; and the bull gored him with his violent horns: which, when the ass saw they might do without any danger, he too came up, and threw his heels into the lion's face: upon which the poor old expiring tyrant uttered these words with his last dying groan: “Alas! How grievous it is to suffer insults, even from the brave and the valiant! But to be spurned by so base a creature as this is, who is the disgrace of nature, is worse than dying ten thousand deaths.” [more info]

The Lion, The Ass, and the Fox

092. THE LION, THE ASS, AND THE FOX. The lion, the ass, and the fox, went a hunting together in the forest, and it was agreed, that whatever was taken should be divided amongst them. They happened to have very good sport, and caught a large fat stag, which the lion ordered the ass to divide. The ass, according to the best of his capacity, did so, and made three pretty equal shares.
But such levelling doings not suiting at all with the craving temper of the greedy lion, without further delay he flew upon the poor ass, and tore him in pieces, and then bid the fox divide it into two parts. Reynard, who seldom wanted a prompter, however, had his cue given him sufficiently upon this occasion; and so, nibbling off one little bit for himself, he laid forth all the rest for the lion's portion.
The royal brute was so delighted at this dutiful and handsome proof of his respect, that he could not forbear expressing the satisfaction it gave him: and asked him withal, where he could possibly have learnt so proper and so courtly a behaviour.
“Why,” replies Reynard, “to tell your majesty the truth, I was taught it by the ass that lies dead there.” [more info]

The Falconer and the Partridge

090. THE FALCONER AND THE PARTRIDGE. A falconer having taken a partridge in his nets, the bird begged hard for a reprieve, and promised the man, if he would let him go, to decoy other partridges into his net.
“No,” replies the falconer, “I was before determined not to spare you, but now you have condemned yourself by your own words; for he who is such a scoundrel as to offer to betray his friends to save himself, deserves, if possible, worse than death.” [more info]

The Trumpeter Taken Prisoner

088. THE TRUMPETER TAKEN PRISONER. A trumpeter, being taken prisoner in battle, begged hard for quarter, declaring his innocence, and protesting that he neither had, nor could kill any man, bearing no arms but only his trumpet, which he was obliged to sound at the word of command. “For that reason,” replied his enemies, “we are determined not to spare you; for though you yourself never fight, yet, with that wicked instrument of yours, you blow up animosity between other people, and so become the occasion of much bloodshed. [more info]

The Envious Man and the Covetous

083. THE ENVIOUS MAN AND THE COVETOUS. An envious man happened to be offering up his prayers to Jupiter just in the same time and place with a covetous miserable fellow. Jupiter, not caring to be troubled with their impertinences himself, sent Apollo to examine the merits of their petitions, and to give them such relief as he should think proper. Apollo therefore opened his commission, and withal told them, that to make short of the matter, whatever the one asked the other should have it double.
Upon this the covetous man, though he had a thousand things to request, yet forbore to ask first, hoping to receive a double quantity, for he concluded that all men's wishes sympathized with his.
By this means the envious man had an opportunity of preferring his petition first, which was the thing he aimed at; so, without much hesitation, he prayed to be relieved, by having one of his eyes put out, knowing that, of consequence, his companion would be deprived of both. [more info]

The Ass and the Little Dog

081. THE ASS AND THE LITTLE DOG. The ass observing how great a favourite the little dog was with his master, how much caressed, and fondled, and fed with good bits at every meal, and for no other reason, as he could perceive, but skipping and frisking about, wagging his tail, and leaping up into his master's lap, he was resolved to imitate the same, and see whether such a behaviour would not procure him the same favours.
Accordingly, the master was no sooner come home from walking about his fields and gardens, and was seated in his easy chair, but the ass, who observed him, came gamboling and braying towards him, in a very awkward manner. The master could not help laughing aloud at the odd sight. But his jest was soon turned into earnest, when he felt the rough salute of the ass's forefeet, who, raising himself upon his hinder legs, pawed against his breast with a most loving air, and would fain have jumped into his lap.
The good man, terrified at this outrageous behaviour, and unable to endure the weight of so heavy a beast, cried out; upon which, one of his servants running in with a good stick, and laying on heartily upon the bones of the poor ass, soon convinced him, that everyone who desires it is not qualified to be a favourite. [more info]

The Geese and the Cranes

079. THE GEESE AND THE CRANES. A flock of geese, and a parcel of cranes, used often to feed together in a corn-field. At last, the owner of the corn, with his servants, coming upon them of a sudden, surprised them in the very fact; and the geese, being heavy, fat, full-bodied creatures, were most of them sufferers; but the cranes, being thin and light, easily flew away. [more info]

The Hare and the Tortoise

070. THE HARE AND THE TORTOISE. A hare insulted a tortoise upon account of his slowness, and vainly boasted of her own great speed in running. “Let us make a match,” replied the tortoise; “I’ll run with you five miles for five pounds, and the fox yonder shall be the umpire of the race.” The hare agreed, and away they both started together; but the hare, by reason of her exceeding swiftness, outran the tortoise to such a degree, that she made a jest of the matter; and, finding herself a little tired squatted in a tuft of fern that grew by the way, and took a nap, thinking that if the tortoise went by, she could at any time fetch him up, with all the ease imaginable.
the meanwhile the tortoise came jogging on with a slow but continued motion, and the hare, out of a too great security and confidence of victory oversleeping herself, the tortoise arrived at the end of the race first. [more info]

The Cat and the Mice

021. THE CAT AND THE MICE. A certain house was much infested with mice; but at last they got a cat, who catched and ate every day some of them. The mice, finding their numbers grown thin, consulted what was best to be done for the preservation of the public from the jaws of the devouring cat. They debated, and came to this resolution, that no one should go down below the upper shelf.
The cat, observing the mice no longer came down as usual, hungry and disappointed of her prey, had recourse to this stratagem; she hung by her hinder legs on a peg which stuck in the wall, and made as if she had been dead, hoping by this lure to entice the mice to come down.
She had not been in this posture long, before a cunning old mouse peeped over the edge of the shelf, and spoke thus: “Aha! My good friend, are you there? There may you be! I would not trust myself with you, though your skin were stuffed with straw.” [more info]

The Shepherd's Boy

059. THE SHEPHERD'S BOY. A certain shepherd's boy kept his sheep upon a common, and, in sport and wantonness, would often cry out, “The wolf! the wolf!” By this means he several times drew the husbandmen in an adjoining field from their work, who, finding themselves deluded, resolved for the future to take no notice of his alarm. Soon after, the wolf came indeed; the boy cried out in earnest; but no heed being given to his cries, the sheep were devoured by the wolf. [more info]
