There are facts and fictions surrounding the person known as Aesop. Said to be an African slave freed for his wit and intelligence, and reportedly thrown to his death over a precipice by the people of Delphi, Aesop is credited with creating hundreds of fables, though none of his actual writings survive. What can't be disputed is that the short, charming tales of wisdom and folly have left an indelible mark on Western culture. In this selection of seven fables, not all have explicit morals; some you have to figure out.
