Extra Reading Diary: Aesop's Fables (Jacobs)

Myth-Folklore Unit: Aesop's Fables (Jacobs)

Jacobs 38. The Fox and the Cat (Perry 605): This fable's theme was: "Better one safe way than a hundred on which you cannot recon." It is better to go with the way you trust and know that works then spend time debating how to deal with a situation. Just because you have many different ways, does not mean that they are better. Sometimes the simple way is the best way.







Jacobs 11. The Lion and the Mouse (Perry 150): "Little friends may prove great friends." I liked this fable because I had heard the story growing up. I also appreciate the message. No matter what your size, how little you think you are (mentally or physically), you can always be a great friend and help those around you. It is always important to help others and be a great friend, no matter who you are. We all need a friend sometimes, too.

Crane 54. The Hares and The Frogs (Perry 138):"Our own are not the only troubles." This means a lot to me, because I strongly believe and know that everyone has a story. Everyone has their struggles and what holds them back in certain situations and in life. Everyone goes through tough times, mentally, physically, or both.
