When reading Aesop for Children there were a few stories
that really stood out for me. Below are my personal favorites.
The Travelers and the Purse: I found this story very funny.
The author took something very simple and put an interesting spin on it. It was
relatable because obviously the traveler wanted part of what was in the purse
but once there might be trouble he wanted no part of it.
The Dog, the Cock, and the Fox: It started out like a story
I have heard many times. It always catches my attention when there is an
adventure of unlikely traveling companions. It makes me wonder what will unfold.
The Mice and the Weasels: I love how much characters this
story gave the animals. The author gave the mice a council and generals and
commanders. People always find themselves wondering how animals live, and the
author painted a picture and helped create answers for those questions. However,
the ending was not my favorite because I always find myself rooting for the
underdog so I was a little unhappy that once again the weasels defeated the
mice.
The Lion and the Ass:
Once again, I enjoyed the friendship of the unlikely pair being the lion and
the ass. The story was written in a unique way because it gave the ass a much
different personality than most people think. People think of an ass as being calm
and friendly, but the story made him frightening and aggressive. I really liked
the different take on this.
