Welcome to Litsy!

I enjoyed the fables and the morals/lessons they displayed. Many of them resonated with me and made me stop and think. There were some repeat fables (the same story with the same characters and morals just written slightly different), but as a whole it was an expansive collection.

Most of Aesop's fables feature personified animals, which generally have a one-to-one symbolic relationship with a vice or virtue. For example, the fox frequently symbolizes cleverness; the hare, agility; the bull, recklessness; the donkey, fatuousness; and the ant, industriousness.

Whoever listens to the music of flatters must expect to pay the piper.

I enjoyed reading this book because the characters represent something deeper than a lion and a mouse. The lion is kind to the mouse, so the mouse returns the favor. I think students could gain a good lesson from this kindness.

This is an example of a fable. This story is about a mouse who is frightened by an owl and in running away he runs into a lion. The lion set the mouse free and the mouse goes home to tell his family about his adventure. The lion is then walking through the jungle when he is captured by rope. The mouse then returns the favor by chewing through the rope and setting the lion free.

“I will not spare you today!“ The weak mouse, afraid, begged for mercy before the lion, “Please forgive me, Lord. If you let me go, someday, I will repay you for your kindness. I will do my best to help you!“

The moment when the mouse decides to help the lion out of the net even when the lion wanted to eat the mouse at the beginning.

This book is a fable. This story has a meaningful lesson within the story. The lion and mouse meet and the lion wants to eat the mouse but he allows the mouse to be spared. Then the lion gets caught in a net and the mouse comes back to check out the situation. Then the lion asks the mouse for help to get out of the net so then the mouse chews his way through the net to free the lion and then they become best friends.
