Does anyone know the name of this collection of stories?

When I was a kid my Grandparents had a book of stories, they all had a moral to them. I can't remember the name of the book, or all of the stories. But one story was about a dog that got bit by a snake to protect a little boy. Another story was about a selfish little girl that always expected presents from her Mom, even when her Mom came home from the hospital after being sick, then the little girls trinkets and beads broke or tarnished and she realized that the love of and for her Mom was more important. Does anyone remember a book like this? I would love to get a copy for my daughter if I could only remember the name.
