Aesop’s Fables has become one of the most popular collections of traditional European children’s literature. These legendary fables consist of the most common and traditional morals that millions of people still read today. Popular folktales such as The Tortoise and the Hare, The Boy Who Cried Wolf and The Lion and the Mouse present classic life lessons for children that most anyone could agree with. For example, the moral of The Tortoise and the Hare is: slow and steady winds the race. This is truly a very important and helpful lesson for all children to learn. While each fable results in its own unique moral, Aesop’s Fables should be included in every child’s education due to its common and socially accepted life skills and morals. ( )
