A party is setting out for Ephesus, and one of the slaves, an odd-looking fellow who, because of his dark skin, has been nicknamed Æsop, or Ethiopian, shrewdly takes as his share of the load the bread to be eaten on the journey, which, of course, will be diminishing all the time. Later, we see Æsop, now a freed man, employed on important missions by the rich King Croesus. The stories in this book are not direct translations from any of the numerous Greek and Latin editions of Æsop’s Fables, but have been rewritten for modern children. Some of the longer stories, for example “ The Little Partridge's Stolen Eggs ” (a perfect gem), are taken directly from the old Indian tales of the Hitopadesa, a source from which Æsop himself drew freely. There has been no alteration of Æsop’s nat­ ural history, which is wonderfully correct, according to the knowledge of his time. Frogs can distend themselves with air; the lonely bat is not a bird, although it looks like one ; and men at times are as absurd as the bewildered astronomer who found . a dragon in the moon, or the priceless noodles who fought for the donkey’s shadow. x “ The traveller and the Arab made such a noise with their shouts and blows that the donkey took fright and galloped away. So there they were left, not only without the shadow, but without the donkey.” 12 Æ . F . B ÆSOP’S FABLES THE DONKEY AND HIS SHADOW NE fine morning, in a sunny Eastern country, an Arab stood with his donkey at the door of an inn. The donkey was for hire ; and the Arab knew there were travellers sleeping at the inn who would be glad to engage such a fine animal to carry them across the desert. Sure enough, as the Arab waited, one of the travellers came out. Seeing the donkey, he asked if he could hire it. The Arab said “ Yes,” and the two agreed upon the sum that the traveller should pay for the donkey to carry him over the hot sands to the city on the other side. T hey set off at once, the traveller and all his baggage on the donkey, the Arab walking behind. The Arab was used to the desert, and did not much mind the long tramp. He munched a green lettuce nearly as big as his head, and thought cheerfully of the money the traveller was to pay him at the end of the journey. Æ.F. 13 B.

  • The Fox in World Literature Reflections on a “Fictional Animal”
    Hans-Jörg Uther Enzyklopädie des Märchens Göttingen, Germany The Fox in World Literature Reflections on a “Fictional Animal” Abstract The article discusses the role of the fox in international folktales, both written and oral. The animal is taken to be the incarnation of cunning, slyness, perfidy, and even wickedness. However, more positive qualities and faculties, such as an ingenious mind, a readiness to care for and help others, quickness, and circumspection are also recognized. This is a sign of the ambivalence considered to be characteristic for all animals. The content and motifs in European or European-influenced fox narratives are most often predicated by descriptions that go back to antiquity. Some Asian fox narratives, too, can be traced far back, but they diverge markedly from the European ones. While the role of the fox in fables and animal tales in particular is subjected to extreme fluctuations in its valence, the same can hardly be said for magic tales. Here, the fox is mostly encountered in the role of a grateful (helpful) animal. Keywords: ambivalence—corn demon—animal demon—fox—fox spirits—grateful animal—helpful animal—animal tales Asian Folklore Studies, Volume 65, 2006: 133–160 he fox (vulpes vulpes), which includes the red fox, the cross fox, and the arctic fox, among others, lives all over Europe, West and East Asia, and in many parts of North America (Zimen 1980, 2; Burrows and Matzen T1972).* Hardly any other mammals living in the wild enjoy as much popularity as the fox—both male and female (vixen) alike—in the traditions since antiqui- ty (see Uther 2003, 2004, and 2006 for numerous textual examples).

You may copy it, give it away or re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.net Title: Aesop's Fables Author: Aesop Release Date: February 27, 2004 [EBook #11339] Language: English Character set encoding: ASCII *** START OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK AESOP'S FABLES *** Produced by Suzanne Shell, Greg Chapman and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team. AESOP'S FABLES A NEW TRANSLATION BY V. S. VERNON JONES WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY G. K. CHESTERTON AND ILLUSTRATIONS BY ARTHUR RACKHAM 1912 EDITION INTRODUCTION _AEsop embodies an epigram not uncommon in human history; his fame is all the more deserved because he never deserved it. The firm foundations of common sense, the shrewd shots at uncommon sense, that characterise all the Fables, belong not him but to humanity. In the earliest human history whatever is authentic is universal: and whatever is universal is anonymous. In such cases there is always some central man who had first the trouble of collecting them, and afterwards the fame of creating them. He had the fame; and, on the whole, he earned the fame. There must have been something great and human, something of the human future and the human past, in such a man: even if he only used it to rob the past or deceive the future. The story of Arthur may have been really connected with the most fighting Christianity of falling Rome or with the most heathen traditions hidden in the hills of Wales.
