About Aesop
Aesop (or Æsop, from Greek Αἴσωπος Aisopos) (c. 620 BC – c. 560 BC) was an ancient Greek fabulist of possibly African descent (his Greek name means Ethiopian or black man in today's parlance), by tradition a slave who credited the African goddess Isis for his gift. Aesop's Fables are still taught as moral lessons and used as subjects for various entertainments, especially children's plays and cartoons.

"THE GRASSHOPPER AND THE ANTS
One fine day in winter some Ants were busy drying their store of corn, which had got rather damp during a long spell of rain. Presently up came a Grasshopper and begged them to spare her a few grains, "For," she said, "I'm simply starving." The Ants stopped work for a moment, though this was against their principles. "May we ask," said they, "what you were doing with yourself all last summer? Why didn't you collect a store of food for the winter?" "The fact is," replied the Grasshopper, "I was so busy singing that I hadn't the time." "If you spent the summer singing," replied the Ants, "you can't do better than spend the winter dancing." And they chuckled and went on with their work."

La zorra y el espino Una zorra saltaba sobre unos montículos, y estuvo de pronto a punto de caerse. Y para evitar la caída, se agarró a un espino, pero sus púas le hirieron las patas, y sintiendo el dolor que ellas le producían, le dijo al espino — ¡ Acudí a ti por tu ayuda, y más bien me has herido. ! A lo que respondió el espino: — ¡Tú tienes la culpa, amiga, por agarrarte a mí, bien sabes lo bueno que soy para enganchar y herir a todo el mundo, y tú no eres la excepción! Nunca pidas ayuda a quien acostumbra a hacer el daño.
