    Phillips / Seckinger Which of the Following Two Fables Has This Theme?

    Determining Theme Phillips / Seckinger Which of the following two fables has this theme? Treat others as you would like to be treated The Tortoise and the Hare Once upon a time there was a hare who, boasting how he could run faster than anyone else, was forever teasing tortoise for its slowness. Then one day, the irate tortoise answered back: “Who do you think you are? There’s no denying you’re swift, but even you can be beaten!” The hare squealed with laughter. “Beaten in a race? By whom? Not you, surely! I bet there’s nobody in the world that can win against me, I’m so speedy. Now, why don’t you try?” Annoyed by such bragging, the tortoise accepted the challenge. A course was planned, and the next day at dawn they stood at the starting line. The hare yawned sleepily as the meek tortoise trudged slowly off. When the hare saw how painfully slow his rival was, he decided, half asleep on his feet, to have a quick nap. “Take your time!” he said. “I’ll have forty winks and catch up with you in a minute.” The hare woke with a start from a fitful sleep and gazed round, looking for the tortoise. But the creature was only a short distance away, having barely covered a third of the course. Breathing a sigh of relief, the hare decided he might as well have breakfast too, and off he went to munch some cabbages he had noticed in a nearby field. But the heavy meal and the hot sun made his eyelids droop.

CHILDS. Lcland Stanford University. Experiments made by one of the writers with this test several years ago. led him to believe that the interpretation of a series of rightly selected fables would afford a valuable indication of intelligence. After a careful search 20 fables were chosen for preliminary trial in the hope that from them 10 or a dozen might be found offering progressive degrees of difficulty and hence lending themselves to serial arrange- ment in the form of a scale. Most of them were taken from Aesop, and will be recognized by the following title«; 1. The Boy and the Filberts. 12, The Jackdaw and the Doves. 2. The Fox and the Crow 13. The Ants and the Grasshopper. 3. Mercury and the Woodman. ">•*. The Fish and the Pike.1 4. The Milkmaid and Her Plans. 15. The Ape and the Carpeoter. 5.

I. 119 INTKODTJCTION. This elegant translation of the most famous fabulist of modern times (if we may- be allowed to call tbe seventeenth century modern), is the work of an American author, who has admirably succeeded in embodying both the spirit, the grace, and the vivacity of the original in the translation. As Fables have interested and instructed mankind in every age, and as the Fables of La Fontaine may be said to be the standard collection of modern times, this translation has been considered as a most appropriate addition to the Universal Library.

  • EFFORT Hercules and the Wagoner

    EFFORT Hercules and the Wagoner

    Life Principle: EFFORT Hercules and the Wagoner A farmer was driving his wagon along a miry country road after a heavy rain. The horses could hardly drag the load through the deep mud, and at last came to a standstill when one of the wheels sank to the hub in a rut. The farmer climbed down from his seat and stood beside the wagon looking at it but without making the least effort to get it out of the rut. All he did was to curse his bad luck and call loudly on Hercules to come to his aid. Then, it is said, Hercules really did appear, saying: "Put your shoulder to the wheel, man, and urge on your horses. Do you think you can move the wagon by simply looking at it and whining about it? Hercules will not help unless you make some effort to help yourself." And when the farmer put his shoulder to the wheel and urged on the horses, the wagon moved very readily and soon the Farmer was riding along in great content and with a good lesson learned.
