Interesting Quotes about
           Aesop’s Fables
 According to “Aesop’s Fables for Adults,” by
  Kenneth Cooper, “As an adult reader renews his
  acquaintance with the fables, he soon discovers
  that in Aesop’s world, virtue by no means always
  reaped it’s just reward.” (144)

 Robert Temple and his wife Olivia published, “The
  Complete Fables” in 1998 after they found “some
  ribald original tales they found in a 1927 Greek-
  language text.” (“Aesop”)
The Man and the Serpent
In this fable a man steps on the tail of a snake and
the snake strikes a mortal blow. The father of the
man then chops off the tail of the snake and for
revenge the snake starts killing the father’s cattle.
The father then wants to agree to a truce to which
the snake say’s neither would be able to forgive.

The moral of the story is “injuries may be forgiven
but not forgotten,” sounds more like don’t forgive
and continue to hold a grudge.
The Fox and the Crane
A fox invites a crane over for dinner and serves the
crane food on a shallow dish making it very difficult
for the crane to eat. To get back at the fox the crane
invites the fox over and puts his dinner in a long jar
making it impossible for the fox to get to the food.

The moral of the story could be interpreted as treat
people like you want to be treated but it seems to
me like this fable is teaching just the opposite;
revenge.
Lloyd W. Daly, author of Aesop without
Morals: The Famous Fables and a Life of
                   Aesop (1961)

“Aesopic fables have been pap for children in
schools for so many hundreds of years that it is
perhaps difficult to think of them in any other light,
but the cynical vein of the stories themselves runs
so strong that it must be obvious they were not
intended for the education of youth.” (qtd. in
“Aesop’s Fables”)
