1. How are moral lessons in "The Swollen Fox" and "The Flies and the Honey-Pot" alike?

The moral of the two stories are alike for they reveal the disaster that came upon the animals who were looking only for their own personal momentary pleasure.

Explanation:

The two tales of "The Swollen Fox" and "The Flies and the Honey-Pot" are from Aesop's Fables. These two stories tell of how greed can lead to pain and disaster to the person.

In "The Swollen Fox", the fox ate the "bread and meat left by shepherds in the hollow" of a tree. He did not think of the future but only thinks about his immediate gain. But after he had his fill, he was unable to come out of the trunk, leaving him stranded until he becomes thin enough again to exit the tree trunk.

Likewise, the story of "The Flies and the Honey-Pot" has a similar story where the flies were eating the honey from the jr left upturned in the housekeeper's room. Stuck in the jar while having their fill, they were unable to go anywhere and were suffocated to death.

These two fables have the same moral lesson in that "for the sake of a little pleasure", they have destroyed themselves, bringing their own fateful deaths by their own greedy actions.
