Aesops Fables

Aesops Fables were written by a Greek storyteller who lived over 2000 years ago. His stories had a moral, or lesson, to be learned.

Select one of Aesops Fables by clicking on the link below. It will take you to a menu of stories. You will find two versions of the story, one traditional, the other modern. Read both and think about how the story and lesson to be learned compares in both.

Briefly retell the story (in your own words), what you liked about it, and the lesson it teaches. Draw a connection between the fable that you chose, and your own life experiences. Tell how observing the morals of this particular story could help you be a better person.


Aesop's Fables


May we prompt you?


Challenge Prompt - Many of the fables attributed to Aesop were probably written by other people, but they all have the same literary style and purpose. After reading several of the fables, try your hand at writing a fable of your own, using animal characters in the starring roles and leaving a moral to be learned at the end.
