- The Story of the Two Messengers
- The Story of the Waxing and Waning Moon
- The Story of the Serpent and his Cast Skin
- The Story of the Banana

Famous quotes containing the word stories:
“Though Margery is stricken dumb
If thrown in Madge’s way,
We three make up a solitude;
For none alive to-day
Can know the stories that we know
Or say the things we say....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
