Che cos’è questo libro
A shepherd boy shouts that a wolf is coming, just for fun. The men in the fields run to help, and each time they find only a joke. Then a real wolf comes, and this time nobody moves.
That scene opens Æsop's Fables, a book of short tales with animals and plain morals. Tradition ties the name of Aesop to an ancient Greek storyteller, and Mary Godolphin retells the stories here in lively scenes. You get a fox below the grapes, a crow and a flatterer, and sayings you will want to repeat.

The first tales teach trust, pride and contentment
The book opens with a boy who minds sheep and likes to shout that a wolf is near. The men in the fields run to help, only to find a joke. After a few rounds, they decide the next cry will go unanswered. Then a real wolf arrives, the boy screams in terror, and no one comes.
The wolf is not the villain here. The harm comes from a habit the boy built himself, one small prank at a time. A liar is hard to believe even when he speaks the truth.
Next come tales of pride and of taking what the world gives. A fox leaps again and again at grapes on a wall, then decides they are sour anyway. The moral says that those who cannot have what they want must want what they can have. In The Fly and the Moth, a fly stuck in jam hears a scolding from a moth, who soon flies into a lamp flame. We see our friends' faults but miss our own.
In The Lynx and the Mole, a lynx pities a mole for living in the dark. The mole answers that she is safe, her young are close, and her sharp hearing warns her of danger. Before you correct someone, check your own sleeve, and before you envy a life, look at what it holds.
Judge others gently, and judge yourself first.
