Aesop's Fables

Aesop's Fables are the world's best known collection of morality tales. They were originally spoken person to person and were a means of entertainment as well as a means of teaching morals and lessons. There are over 700 fables credited to Aesop.  Many of the lessons ring as true today as they did when they were first created.
