Welcome to Litsy!

Most of Aesop's fables feature personified animals, which generally have a one-to-one symbolic relationship with a vice or virtue. For example, the fox frequently symbolizes cleverness; the hare, agility; the bull, recklessness; the donkey, fatuousness; and the ant, industriousness.

Such a wonderful collection of tales. What I thought would be a one night read stretched into longer because a lot of the stories were thought provoking and required some logic. Good for a cozy night with a warm drink! #aesopsfables #shortstories #storycollection #fable

Here‘s my review for a book I just finished reading.

puss was sure she had time to spare

Features the class tortoise and the hare

this is a collection. of the origin stories of propbably most of the moral tales you hear. While aesop‘s exact life isn‘t chronicled clearly in history, his work has lived on

A famished fox crept into a vineyard where ripe, luscious grapes were draped high upon arbors in a most tempting display.

Day 30 - #Fable #FallFlies
#AesopsFables #Aesop

I‘ve read some of these fables but need to read more.

I‘ve heard or read a lot of these stories over the years, but I learned I‘m much more familiar with the ones that include animals rather than people or gods as characters. Some of the stories have decent reminders for life, but too many of them seemed to say you cannot change your lot in life.

My #Reading1001 #TBRakedown book for this month is Aesop‘s Fables. These very short stories are perfect for a quick end of the day read with #SerialReader. #1001books

So much got done yesterday and today; indeed had been darker before dawn 🙏🏾

Thank you for the #dailycheckin love and support💖

Classics book suitable for all generations

My last book for #Booked2019 🎉🎉🎉 (I‘ll post grids with all my books for the challenge later this week).
Couldn‘t have gotten through this without Serial Reader! The little fables were often weird, sometimes funny, and the perfect length for work breaks.

I had to read this one for the #1001books list but I have to admit it bored the hell out of me. I‘m sure it‘s a masterpiece which influenced many later books but listening to all those short stories (many of which I knew already because I am old and wise 😂) just was too much. I am glad I had the lovely and beautiful landscape of upstate New York to enjoy in the mean time.

Reading challenge Week 3: A book of short stories
Aesops Fables 🌲📚🤓

This scene is fictional though, right? I don't have a cat, but from what I know about cats, this can't be. 😂

One of my favorites from childhood: The Sun and North Wind have a bet as to which of them is more powerful...☀️💨
#blownorthernwind #WinterWonderland

The North Wind and The Sun, one of the many fables by Aesop, is about the Wind and the Sun bet on which can force a man to remove a coat. We know who won!
Moral of the story: ‘Gentleness and kind persuasion win where force and bluster fail.‘

Ha! This was one of my favorite fables when I was a child. I thought the fox got what he deserved for being so rude and inconsiderate. Love the illustrations :) (Macmillan Collector‘s Library edition)

There‘re many fables involving foxes in Aesop‘s Fables, all of them morally interesting, and many depict the fox as a #cunning and sly animal.
The Crow and The Fox, The Stork and The Fox, The Fox and the Cock.

Looking for a fable for my daughter and came across this. How timely.

These are the only fables I‘m familiar with. I used to own and read from these two Ladybird editions when I was little.
Anyone remember reading these?
