Foolish Animals
-I have always loved the story of the Turtle and the Hare. I love turtles so I enjoy that he wins the race. Also the story sets up for a good lesson to be learned. The second story is a bit strange.
More Foolish Animals
-Poor dog lost his bone and then the meat. I believe that maybe he was trying to go for a swim. Dogs love to swim.
Foxes
-The fox wanted the grapes so bad. Once he finally jumped high enough to reach the grapes he realized that the grapes were nasty and sour. Interesting that the Stork and Fox were friends inviting each other to eat.
Birds
-The fox in the first story was quite funny making fun of the bird. I hate birds so I found this pretty funny.
Insects
-Cute that the Grasshopper sings, it's cute because grasshoppers makes noises and in this story they related those noises with singing. The ant having to swim reminded me of one time at pool someone told me that an ant can survive in the water for 11 minuets, I'm going to have to look this up now.
Foolish People
The Hen With the Golden Eggs was a good lesson in greed. Why would he kill the Hen if she laid Gold Eggs?? All of these stories deal with some person acting foolishly like the man who killed the hen.
Horses
-I like how the horse was described by "The humble slaves of men" I have never thought of a horse this way for a man. It's like we describe dogs sometimes, "a man's best friend"
Dogs
-In the first story I like how the dog was able to help save the wolf. Everyone knows that wolves and dogs are in the same family. In these stories the dog seemed to always be the one to help. I really enjoyed that because dogs can be very loyal.
