Aesop is the name we put on a very old set of short stories, Aesop's Fables. In the stories, animals talk and act like people, and each tale ends with a lesson about how to live — pride, laziness, cleverness, kindness. Two almost everyone knows are The Tortoise and the Hare and The Fox and the Grapes (the fox cannot reach the grapes, then says they were sour anyway).
