Aesop's Fables - For Discussions

Aesop's Fables are great subjects for discussions. The plot of each story relates to some features of human characteristics. The last line usually represents the moral of the story. If we hide the last line in the story before the discussion, we would express our own opinions about the main idea. When the last line is revealed, we could compare our thoughts about the meaning of the fable with those that the author wanted to say.

As an example, let's look at the first fable in the book which link is mentioned below: "Precious things are for those that can prize them". It might be a reference to the books which represent a great value for readers who are able to appreciate them :)
