aesop's fables

You know fables like the tortoise and the hare, The boy who cried wolf, and the goose thatlaid the golden eggs. Well there are many others. Such as The ants, The walnut tree, and The vain jackdaw.  Each have diffreant meanings. But,  there are some that share  the same meaning. Like the fisher man, and the dog in the manger. they both have the meaning live and let live.


This is one I like. It is called the mule.
 A mule  began one day to jump and run about, until she was completely convinced that she could out run any animal at any speed. "my mother was a race-horse,"  she thought "and I can run just as fast!" 
 but running had such an effect on her, that she became exhausted it was then she remembered the her father was a donkey.  The morel is there are two sides to a truth.
