Week 3 Reading: Aesop for Children



Reading Diary

Aesop for Children:
·       I like how the Billy Goat Kid was able to think of a distraction to spare him time, using the song and dance to not only allow himself to be merry for a bit longer, but alert/signal his flock, who were moving homeward.
·       Also, a nice little tidbit is the quotable line at the bottom of the stories to give you a line that you can analyze and think about, such as “Do not let anything turn you from your purpose.
·       I liked the concept behind The Tortoises and the Ducks, in which it showed that just because you are upset and disappointed in the spot you are, it doesn’t mean you should try and go all out to seek something that isn’t meant to be.
·       The friendship between the dog and rooster was a very tight knit relationship and it came in beneficial when the fox tried to be sly/deceitful to try and trick the rooster into becoming friends with the fox, so the fox could eat the rooster.
·       The moral behind the story of The Eagle and the Jackdaw is that don’t let something you see someone else do override what you are actually capable of because it could end up costing you in the end.
The Boy and the Filbits tells us to not try and do too much at one given moment because then you 

will get stuck in the moment, what you should do is do small steps at a time, and in return, you will 

complete the same thing as what you were trying to do at once.
