Favorite Fables

Post by Mud_Dog »

I've been wondering recently, what is everyone's most rememberable and/or favorite Aesop's(or Aesop-esque)Fable?

My favorite fable is the "Sour Grapes" one, but I think the most rememberable would have to be "The Boy Who Cried Wolf."

Of course I don't think I've read them all yet, but I did find a great site if anyone is interested: http://www.aesopfables.com/

Mud Dog, you are just teasing us.

I, and I am sure, just about everyone who has seen the subject line, jumps to the conclusion that Aesop is back. :cry:

Sorry, that was definitely not my intent.

Is there anyway to get the title changed then to "Favorite Fables?" That may cause less irritation.

I would have to go with "The Boy Who Cried Wolf".

Having people know that you mean what you say is pretty damned important in life.

Anyone know where he is? Or have I just missed some of his posts?

Mike posted an answer he got from Aesop on some other thread. Basically, he said he's taking a break. He said he may start a blog, but it won't be as Aesop.

Oh, yeah. Back on topic:

I always liked the Ant & the Grasshopper (prepare for coming lean times) as well as the Bat, the Birds, & the Beasts (everyone will reject the guy who won't choose a side).
