Usually involving anthropomorphized animals these fables are a popular medium of moral education for children and also provide an instructive read and a useful reflection for the grown-ups.
Those who grumble at the little thing that has fallen to their lot to do will grumble at everything. Always grumbling, they will lead a miserable life, and everything will be a failure. But those who do their duties as they go, putting their shoulders to the wheel, will see the light, and higher duties will fall to their share.
