  1. Aesop and his Fables

  2. Define a Fable A fable is a story in which a lesson is learned.

  3. Aesop’s Fables Aesop was an ancient Greek storyteller who lived around 550 BCE. He was also a slave. He lived in ancient Rome, in the home of a wealthy Roman family. Legend says … Aesop’s Roman master was so delighted with Aesop’s fables that he granted Aesop his freedom!

  4. Aesop’s Fables There are no records to prove that Aesop ever wrote anything down. Fortunately, after his death, people did write down every fable they could remember. Over the centuries, Aesop's fables have been rewritten and illustrated and translated into nearly every language in the world.

  5. Listen to each fable, and match the moral to the fable. Persuasion is the better force. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Make hay while the sun shines. Don’t just follow the crowd. Pride can be very costly. Sometimes we do not see our own strengths. Liars may give themselves away. Small friends can be powerful allies.
