Week 2: Reading Diary Aesop's Fables (Jacobs and Crane)

Here are my favorite stories from Aesop's Fables (Jacobs and Crane).

 Foxes, Part 1: In a number of stories in the world, foxes are playing a role of greedy and bad. People don't like foxes because they are tricky. My favorite story is "the fox and the grapes", the fox cannot reach the grapes, thus he said the grapes are sour. The action that the fox did what stupid is, the psychology of sour grapes also remind the readers that don't be the fox that the story told to me, we need to face our real situation and check how many capability we have.


Foxes, Part 2: To be honest, the stories from Aesop's Fables gave us lots of influentially educational meanings, which gave us the space and room to think more. My favorite story in here is " the Fox and the Goat", I have to say that the fox is smart lier to persuade the goat to jump down, then jumped on her back to survive from the deep well. In our true life, there are lots of people who are in difficulties, not all people who are in difficulties will lie others. After we read the story, we should know that never trust the advice of a bad man in difficulties.

Wolves: I really like the words "Appearances are deceptive", sometimes it is hard for us to guess what the truth under appearances. I love the story The Wolf in Sheep's Clothing Aesop's Fables told the exactly truth to us, we cannot to define a person only by appearance, a quiet or a peaceful appearance could hind the evil heart; however, under the ugly appearance where is a kind heart.

Dogs and Cats: oh, wow, what's a interested story is! The Dog and the Shadow, a Dog had got a piece of meat, because of his greedy, he also want to get his shadow's meat; however, his shadow lied him and he left his own meat. Sometimes we already have our meats or other things, but because of greedy, we want others, then we lose our own. People are always striving to get to a point when they would finally have enough. 

Mice: When I was child, I always reading the story "The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse" and "Belling the Cat", I want to say that these are interesting. "Belling the cat" means that lots of people are able to make a decision, but they are hard to take action. The town mouse cannot eat some delicious food, but he is living in a more peaceful life than the country mouse, people have different obstacles and they are familiar with what they experienced.

Birds, Part 1: I want to say that, " To be contented" what a extremely meaningful word is! I really love the story of  "The Peacock's Complaint", to be contented what you already have, don't be envious of others, furthermore, it isn't necessary to be envious of others, staying in peaceful in what you have and to be contended.

Birds, Part 2: I like the story "The Bat, the Birds, and the Beasts", after reading the story, I realized the importance of positioning, sometimes we should know what party we should in, and what  kind of person we are, we should have our definition and positioning, never become the bat.

Frogs and FishAesop's Fables always gave us the meaningful and thought-provoking story, we should know that when touting your achievements, we should be confident but don't be exaggeratebrag or lie to others. Don't do like the old frog did in the story of The Frog and The Bull

Family and Friends: I have to say that what a interesting story is, Yield to all and you will soon have nothing to yield is the meaning of the story "The Man and His Two Wives", because of requirement of the man's two wises, he get the result that he became entirely bald in the end, people cannot reach two requirement simultaneously

People Wise and Foolish, Part 1: As we all known, the story of "The Shepherd's Boy" is familiar story for us, I have to say this is my favorite story in this part, people who always lying others, who won't trust them any more. Be a honest man, what the importance is!
