For parents and teachers who love short stories to read aloud, young readers meeting their first tales, and anyone who enjoys animal fables with sharp little lessons about kindness, honesty, greed and pride.
De qué trata este libro
This is a collection of short animal fables, each one ending in a plain line of advice. They are attributed to Aesop, a storyteller of ancient Greece who is traditionally said to have lived in the sixth century BC. Nothing certain is known about his life. The tales were passed on by mouth and gathered by many hands over the centuries. This book presents the best-loved of them for young readers, in short scenes that a child can follow and an adult can enjoy.
What do you get from it? You meet a proud hare and a slow tortoise, a lion caught in a net, a boy who lies about a wolf, and a fox who cannot reach his grapes. Each story takes only a few minutes. Each leaves behind one idea about patience, greed, kindness, honesty or pride that is easy to remember and hard to forget. Let us begin with the smallest creatures in the book, who matter a great deal.

The small can help the mighty
The collection opens its doors to a world where size does not decide worth. In The Lion and the Mouse, a lion is asleep in the forest when a mouse runs across his face and wakes him. The lion catches the little creature under his paw and is ready to end the matter. The mouse begs for mercy and promises that one day he will repay the kindness.
The lion laughs at the idea. How could a mouse ever help a king of beasts? Yet he lets the mouse go, half amused and half bored. This small act of mercy is the hinge of the whole tale. The story asks the reader to notice how the lion treats someone who seems to have nothing to offer.
Later the lion is caught in hunters' ropes and roars in fear. The mouse hears him and comes. The fable shows that help can come from the least likely place, and that a kind act is never wasted, even when it seems foolish at the time.
Other fables in the book make the same point from different sides. In the tale of the bundle of sticks, an old father shows his quarrelling sons that one stick breaks easily while a bundle holds firm. Together, the weak become strong. These stories are gentle lessons in respect and in standing together. They tell a child that nobody is too small to matter, and nobody is too big to need a friend.
That’s 1 of 6 key points.
