Aesop's Fables: resumen de Part 228

Qué sucede

1. Demades speaks to the Assembly at Athens, but the audience barely listens.
2. He offers to tell an Aesop fable, and everyone pays attention.
3. His story brings Demeter, a swallow, and an eel to an unbridged river; the bird flies across, and the eel swims.
4. Demades pauses, prompting listeners to ask what happens to Demeter.
5. He says Demeter is angry because they attend to fables instead of public affairs.

En qué fijarte

The question shows that the story captures attention where the speech does not. It gives Demades the opening for his rebuke.
