Aesop’s Fables is a collection of short tales credited to Aesop, a Greek storyteller who lived in ancient Greece between 620 and 564 BC. The fables are designed to teach moral lessons through short stories using animals as characters with human characteristics and feelings. The fables originally belonged to oral tradition and were not collected for some three centuries after Aesop’s death. Some of the most famous fables include “The Boy Who Cried Wolf,” “The Fox and the Grapes,” and “The Tortoise and the Hare”. The fables have been translated and edited by various authors over time, and different versions of the same tale may exist.
The fox and the grapes Fable concentrates on a little fox whom desires to obtain some plump, luscious grapes. He attempts several times to reach them but gives up as the task is harder than he imagined. As he starts walking away he is bitter at the grapes for being so unattainable that he no longer sees their value. But it is displacement. He is really upset with himself for giving up before obtaining them.
Aesop’s Fables have been translated into many languages and adapted into various literary forms, including poetry, drama, and novels. They have also been in political campaigns to convey a moral lesson. They have also been used in advertising campaigns. You can find remnants of them in films, art, literature, and even video games. The best use of Aesop’s Fable is as a teaching tool for children.
