AESOP'S FABLES

More than 2,500 years ago, a man called Aesop, who lived in ancient Greece, told some fables. or stories. Today, we still remember his stories because they were so good. Here are three of our favourite ones.

The North Wind and the Sun

In this story, the North Wind thinks he's stronger than the Sun, and the Sun thinks he's stronger than the North Wind, so they have a competition to see who is right. They see a man who is wearing a big coat. The winner will be the one who can make the man take off his coat. The North Wind thinks he'll win. 'It will be easier for me than for the Sun,' he thinks. 'All I need to do is blow his coat off! He blows and blows, but it's more difficult than he thought. The man just pulls his coat more tightly around him. Eventually, the North Wind gives up. Then the Sun tries. He starts shining brightly, and the man gets really hot - and takes off his coat. The Sun is the winner and the North Wind agrees that the Sun is stronger than him.

The Hare and the Tortoise

A hare sees a tortoise and thinks 'I'm much faster than him!' So he says to the tortoise, 'Let's have a race to see who's faster.' The tortoise agrees and the race starts. The tortoise is much slower than the hare, so the hare is sure he will win. He is so certain that he thinks: 'I can have a rest for a few minutes and I'll still win.' so he sits down, but he falls asleep. When he wakes up, he discovers that the tortoise is at the finish line. The tortoise is the winner!

The Lion and the Mouse

A lion is sleeping when a mouse comes along. The mouse wakes the lion up by mistake, and the lion's really angry. The lion catches the mouse and decides to eat him. But the mouse says, 'Please. Mr Lion, you are bigger and stronger and better than me. It's not fair to punish someone who's smaller and weaker than you.' The lion agrees, and lets the mouse go free. Not long afterwards, some hunters catch the lion in a net. The mouse hears the lion roaring, and goes to find out what the problem is. He sees that the lion is in a net, and uses his little teeth to bite the ropes of the net. The lion is free!
