We had to read 5 fables for our literature blog assignment. Then we had to write what we think the moral of each fable is. For the fable The fox and the goat, I think the moral, or maxim, is that don’t follow someone you know that cant be trusted because it may end up being a trap, and you might be the one who gets in trouble. In the fable, if the goat didn’t take the fox’s advice, and didn’t jump in the well, then he wouldn’t be trapped inside the well. For the moral of The crow and the Pitcher is that no task is impossible to do, and that if you try to get what you want, you can get it by a little patience, because the crow was really thirsty, and when it saw that the water wasn’t from its reach, the crow kept throwing pebbles into it so the water would rise. the maxim for, The fisher and the little fish is that even the littlest thing can fill your needs, and even a little is better then nothing at all, because the fisher didn’t let the little fish go, even though it was a little fish. For the next fable, The four Oxen and the Lion, the moral is that when you are together you are safer then being alone, because when the four oxen’s were together, they could defend themselves, but when they were quarrelling they got attacked by the lion. For the last fable, The Wolf in Sheep's clothing, the moral is that looks can be deceiving, because the lamb thought the wolf in the sheep’s clothing, was his mother, so he fallowed the wolf and got tricked and eaten by the wolf. These are the 5 fables and there morals or maxims!
