Have you read Aesop Fable before?

I love Aesop's Fables. They are so fun and the morals are most often very clear. I don't have a favorite.
There's the one where the fox and the cat were talking, and the fox is all "I am so sly and clever, I have so many ways I can escape," and the cat only has the one, which is to leap into a tree out of reach. When the dogs come, the cat leaps and the fox gets caught because he's trying to decide which one of his many tricks to take.
That's just the one I thought of right then. I love most of them.

One of my favorite Aesop fables is the "The Kid and the Wolf":
A Kid, returning without protection from the pasture, was pursued by a Wolf. Seeing he could not escape, he turned round, and said: "I know, friend Wolf, that I must be your prey, but before I die I would ask of you one favor; you will play me a tune to which I may dance." The Wolf complied, and while he was piping and the Kid was dancing, some hounds hearing the sound ran up and began chasing the Wolf. Turning to the Kid, he said, "It is just what I deserve; for I, who am only a butcher, should not have turned piper to please you."
Moral: In time of dire need, clever thinking is key or outwit your enemy to save your skin.
