This was a quick read. I read it in high school and it's just how I remember...boring. I don't know if that gets me a ticket straight to hell to call a classic boring, but call me Honest Abe. I think reading it as a child would be better than reading it as an adult. Aesopus (for his time) was brilliant and a creative writer. I am sure he made time in ancient Greece fly by. He was also very wise, like my grandma. I believe that most of the fables can still be used as moral teachings to childern. There are several "and the moral of the story is..." shorts that still hold true. Not to mention, several classic idioms that we still us to this day. I will say that even though I find it boring, it's still a classic. It has survived over time. It deserves to be respected and it deserves to be read! So read it!!!
Ok now....bring on The Metamorphoses by Ovid....
