| | I added this one, a retelling of Aesop's "The Pitcher and the Crow" with the addition of a liberal chicken who does nothing but complain to contrast with the innovative and hardworking crow. I hope this fits along with others, and that it is o.k. to retell a classic story. Aesop's work is in the public domain and this version is my own work.

| | + | Several of Jesus's parables identify human weakness to prove a different point, such as His parable about the unfair judge and also the one about the unscrupulous servant. Jesus isn't praising the failure.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 00:27, 7 June 2013 (EDT) |
