AESOP’S Fables

Everyone would love listening to stories. In that case, Aesop is very famous and his stories have been included as moral education for children. His stories adopted animals as characters and taught the basic principles and ideology in an uncomplicated manner. Aesop is believed to belong to the 6th century BC, while some believe that there was no real person in the name Aesop and Aesop’s fables were folklore of Greece. However, references show that he was born in 620 BC in ancient Greece and by birth, he was a slave. The famous idiom, “sour grapes” is derived from his story, The Fox and the grapes.
