* AnAesop: Everyone's life has its pluses and minuses.
* ComeToGawk: The lion in a zoo resents the crowd of people that gathers to gawk at him if he roars too loud or long. He wishes he could burrow out of sight like a gopher.
* {{Flight}}: A bored boy muses about what fun it must be to be a bird, because of how they can fly so easily.
* GrassIsGreener: Each of the beings or things mentioned in the story have something they don't like about their lives, whether an irritation or a hazard, and wish they could live the life of someone or something else.
* TurtlePower: A fish envies the life of a turtle, because a turtle's shell means it's pretty safe from predators, while the fish is always hiding from other fish bigger than him.
