As I continued to read and learn more about Aesop for Children I was amazed by the large variety of stories there were to tell. They
were all so different and intriguing in their own ways. Once again I will share
with you a few of my favorites…
The Fox and the Leopard: this story had a really great moral
to it. It shows that it is not important what is on the outside because it is what’s
on the inside that counts. I liked that the fox never let the leopard get to
him when he tried to belittle him for the appearance of his coat. The fox
stayed positive and was confident in himself, and that’s how everyone should
be.
The Fox and the Monkey: I found this story particularly
interesting because it is about appointing a leader. Reading this at a time
when the 2016 presidential election is underway made me appreciate it that much
more. It promotes a really great message that a leader shouldn’t be chosen because
of their appearance or their flashy attitude, like the monkey. A leader should
be chosen because of their intelligence and experience, like the fox.
The Ant and the Dove: I really enjoyed this story because it
showed two animals helping each other. The dove helped an ant, whom usually
would have been a meal for him, and in return the ant saved his life. This is a
story of kindness and how more people need to go out of their way to be kind to
other people.
