Here are my favorite stories from Aesop for Children, illustrated by Milo Winter.
The Wolf and the Kid: In the end of this story, the story said that "Do not let anything turn you from your purpose", what a meaning word is. Never forge your beginning decision, just still do it until you reach success. I really love this story.
The Tortoise and the Ducks: I have to say that some people in the truth world who become highly conceited are easy to make troubles and have more obstacles, since they ignore some details that they didn't find in the past. This tortoise because of foolish curiosity and vanity leading to misfortune.
Two Goat: this story lets us think more and realize some influential meanings. When an argument arises, people should take a step backward and not allow a fight to take place.
The Ass and the Load of Salt: In reference to the different situation in this story, the deep meaning in this story is to think more about different situation, don't just rely on one situation, and based on the unchanged consideration.
The Lion and the Gnat: The end of this story is hard to expect, the lion, the Gnat, and the spider. It is hard for us expect what will be happen in the future, in addition, we cannot ignore our enemies, don't belittle our enemies.
The Ass and His Driver: I really like this story since it is related to the suggestion, you would read that the foolish Ass don't want to follow the suggestion then roll to the bottom of the mountain.
The Oxen and the Wheels: It is true that some people who do the hard things but say loudly that they are tired, as same as the truth world, some one who companion the less, the less difficult could be.
The Gnat and the Bull: even though you have a enough heart, you could ignore some troubles, thus you could be happier.
The Wolf and the Lean Dog: expecting enough for you, take what you can get when you can get it. As all known, it is important to have a plan, but making a plan that you are able to complete is more important.
The Eagle and the Beetle: I have to admit that don't be ignore the ability of the weakest one, why isn't that? I really love this story, I shall say that be modestly.
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 Fish: Aesop'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 exaggerate, brag 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!
