My Favourite Aesop's Fables
I like this fable of Aesop, because I feel that too many people have too much to say about what is right or wrong for other people - they should try it themselves!The Crab and its MotherI also like this fable of Aesop, and I hope that I can (sometimes) leave a good smell in the world! :-)
The Old Woman and the Wine JarI like this fable of Aesop, because my father told me this story when I was a boy and argues with my brothers. It's moral and significance stayed with me.
The Father and his SonsHere is one of Aesop's Fables that I don't like - perhaps I could enjoy it more if the moral was "Slow but steady wins the race, SOMETIMES!
