I have many fables to tell...

I wrote at least 655 of them.

Aesop lived during the sixth century BC and was probably a slave on

the island of Samo. He loved to tell stories. It is said that Aesop wasugly and deformed and those who came to listen to his tales laughedas much at him as at his stories. Though no historical information onAesop is available, he was probably a real person.

These are my favorites:

The Lion and the mouse

The Hare and The tortoise

The ant and the Grasshopper

But the Ant went on its way and

continued its toil. When the winter came the Grasshopper had no food and found itself dying of hunger, while it saw the ants distributing every day corn and grain from the stores they had collected in the summer. Then the Grasshopper knew:
