Reading Diary Week 12: Aesop's Fables

Aesop's Fables by Sir Roger L'Estrange

Venus turns woman into cat so that she can marry a man. Peacock is jealous of nightingale because it can sing, expresses jealousy to Philomela. The man and the goose that lays golden eggs. Socrates builds a small house. Quaker displays hypocrisy by striking a dog. Apples make apes go wild and lose their composure. Fox really wants grapes, but the grapes that he wants are too high. So, the fox decides that the grapes were sour anyway. Lions can talk to people but cannot make sculptures. Ass thinks that people are kneeling to him, but they are actually kneeling to the relics on it's back.
