5 fables~Lit

The Wolf in Sheep's Clothing:

In this fable, I believe the moral would be that looks can be deceiving and you can't know the person by just looking at them. For example, since the wolf was wearing the skin of the lamb's mother, the lamb decided to follow it out of the heard and into the devious plan of the wolf. As a result, the wolf got many more meals because the lambs were tricked into thinking he was something hes not.

The Four Oxen and the Lion:

In my opinion, the moral to this fable is that it is easier to defend yourself in a group or with multiple people then by yourself. This moral was included in the fable because the four oxen could not defend themselves well from the hungry lion when not together.

The Fisher and the Little Fish:

For this fable, I think the moral can be connected to the quote, "if you have lemons, then you make lemonade". I believe this because when the fisher caught the little fish, he demanded to keep it even though it begged and pleaded to be let free. He believed that he would not be able to catch the fish later on when it became larger, therefore, he kept what he already had.

The Crow and the Pitcher:

In this fable, The Crow and the Pitcher, the author made the moral to be that with just a little thinking and good ideas, you can succeed at anything. This was showed because the crow thought outside the box and quenched his thirst by throwing pebbles into an almost empty pitcher. As a result, when putting his mind to it, the crow accomplished his goal.

The Fox and the Goat:
The maxim for, The Fox and the Goat, I believe would be you shouldn't trust everyone because you never know if it could be a trap. However, the goat felt he could trust the fox on his advice about the drought. Furthermore, the fox used the goat to escape from the well and put the goat into a horrible situation. Overall, I believe you should be careful in who you give your trust.
