Book excerpt: The Sick LionA Lion had come to the end of his days and lay sick unto death at the mouth of his cave, gasping for breath. The animals, his subjects, came round him and drew nearer as he grew more and more helpless. When they saw him on the point of death they thought to themselves: 'Now is the time to pay off old grudges.' So the Boar came up and drove at him with his tusks; then a Bull gored him with his horns; still the Lion lay helpless before them: so the Ass, feeling quite safe from danger, came up, and turning his tail to the Lion kicked up his heels into his face. 'This is a double death,' growled the Lion.Only cowards insult dying majesty.The Ass and the LapdogA Farmer one day came to the stables to see to his beasts of burden: among them was his favourite Ass, that was always well fed and often carried his master. With the Farmer came his Lapdog, who danced about and licked his hand and frisked about as happy as could be. The Farmer felt in his pocket, gave the Lapdog some dainty food, and sat down while he gave his orders to his servants. The Lapdog jumped into his master's lap, and lay there blinking while the Farmer stroked his ears. The Ass, seeing this, broke loose from his halter and commenced prancing about in imitation of the Lapdog. The Farmer could not hold his sides with laughter, so the Ass went up to him, and putting his feet upon the Farmer's shoulder attempted to climb into his lap. The Farmer's servants rushed up with sticks and pitchforks and soon taught the Ass that clumsy jesting is no joke.The Lion and the MouseOnce when a Lion was asleep a little Mouse began running up and down upon him; this soon wakened the Lion, who placed his huge paw upon him, and opened his big jaws to swallow him. 'Pardon, O King,' cried the little Mouse: 'forgive me this time, I shall never forget it: who knows but what I may be able to do you a turn some of these days ...

Download or read book Aesop Just in Rhyme written by John W. Murphy and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2000-12-20 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: AESOP, JUST IN RHYME is a new version, of more than 100 favorite Aesop's Fables. The poems are light, humorous, many with dialogue to enhance characterization. Several rhyme schemes are employed to provide interest and variety. They are intended for readers and listeners of all ages. These stories, celebrated for over 2000 years, cleverly outline human flaws, as portrayed by birds, fish and animals. Sometimes humans appear to catalogue their own errors. Vanity, jealousy, excessive pride , self-righteousness and making decisions without considering consequences, all have their places. We can see ourselves and our neighbors in these poems: The vanity of the hare in The Tortoise and the Hare', (Stanza 3) "Ha,ha," laughed the hare, "All will agree that you're as fast as a wingless bee, I'll run around you for half an hour, still have time for a nap and a shower." The tortoise said, "We'll see." The presumption of the fox that he can be a lion, like his master in , Lion's Work', (Stanza 3) Next day the fox saw a flock of sheep, he sneaked up close, did not make a peep, the shepherd captured him as he whined, "I'm out of work and I may be fined." The foolish pigeons fail to see consequences, in The Kite and The Pigeons', (Stanza 1) The Great Pigeon Congress met to talk of the scary sighting of a kite, so frightened they voted, "Ask the hawk to banish this strange threat with his might." The morals' or lessons that state the essence of each story have been popular for a long time even though Aesop did not begin them since he spoke his stories, did not write them down, and the lesson was obvious to all . However they are included in AESOP JUST IN RHYME, presented in almost all cases as a two-line original rhyme, aspiring to amuse as well as instruct. For the fox who promoted himself, the lesson is: Ambition alone is not a good guide, to move up, be sure you're qualified. For students to read and enjoy on their own, for parents and teachers to read to children, for adults to experience a new version of the fables, AESOP, JUST IN RHYME offers enjoyment as well as Aesop's enlightenment. It is hoped that you will find them entertaining for many years.
