"Why in the world do you walk sideways like that?" said a Mother Crab to her son. "You should always walk straight forward with your toes turned out."
"Show me how to walk, mother dear," answered the little Crab obediently, "I want to learn."
So the old Crab tried and tried to walk straight forward. But she could walk sideways only, like her son. And when she wanted to turn her toes out she tripped and fell on her nose."
Do not tell others how to act unless you can set a good example.

I particularily enjoy this one, its got some real comedy to it. Short sweet and relatable on so many levels. Aesop was a greek story teller born in 620 BCE. His stories are very original and have literally withstood the test of time. I want to continue to share these gems with the Steemit community!
