RA - Aesop's Fables Modernized - CANCELLED

Aesop’s Fables Modernized

Up until the 20^th century no book, with the exception of the Bible, has had wider circulation than Aesop’s Fables.  Who is not familiar with the sayings, “Sour grapes,” “Don’t count your chickens before they are hatched,” or “Necessity is the mother of invention”?  The stories of “The Fox and the Grapes,” “The Tortoise and the Hare,” and “The Boy Who Cried Wolf” are known throughout the world.  In this class, we will discuss why these fables are still relevant after 2,500 years and retell some of the most famous, giving them a modern twist, for example in “The Tortoise and the Hare” the moral was slow and steady wins the race.  Today the moral would be, steady and fast is the way to success.  Aesop’s fables are not just for children.
