Aesop's Fables

---

Aesop's Fables is a collection of short stories attributed to Aesop, a storyteller believed to have lived in ancient Greece between 620 and 564 BCE. These fables use animals, plants, inanimate objects, and natural forces as characters to impart ethical and moral lessons. Each story concludes with a moral or valuable lesson. Some of the most famous fables include "The Tortoise and the Hare," which teaches that slow and steady wins the race; "The Fox and the Grapes," which teaches that it's easy to despise what you cannot have; "The Boy Who Cried Wolf," which teaches that liars are not believed even when they speak the truth; "The Ant and the Grasshopper," which teaches the importance of preparing for the future; and "The Lion and the Mouse," which teaches that no act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted. Aesop's fables remain popular and widely taught due to their simplicity and the universal truths they convey.
