So... I don't really get the moral of these tales. I think it's a translation and culture error, but the majority of these tales seem to be to complain, then an animal will help you, and you'll live happily ever after. I don't fully understand what that's meant to teach children, but I think because I don't have the cultural context and it being a translated text, I'm missing something.
