Ihave many fables totell...

I wrote at least 655

of them.

Aesop lived during the sixth century BC and was probably a slave onthe island of Samo. He loved to tell stories. It is said that Aesop was

ugly and deformed and those who came to listen to his tales laughed

as much at him as at his stories. Though no historical information on

Aesop is available, he was probably a real person.

These are myfavorites:

The Lion and the mouse

The Hare and The

tortoise

The ant and theGrasshopper

summer.Then the Grasshopper knew:
