Note

Aesop's Fables are a collection of ancient Greek moral stories attributed to Aesop, a storyteller believed to have lived in the 6th century BCE. These fables are characterized by their use of anthropomorphic animals and concise narratives to convey moral lessons and wisdom. The fables often feature animals engaging in human-like activities, and each story imparts a moral lesson or piece of practical advice.
