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.

Re: Aesop's Fables
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".

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.scipioafricanus wrote:Anyone know where he is? Or have I just missed some of his posts?

Note to self: start reading sig lines. They're actually quite amusing. :D

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).
