Ideas/ Values/ Emotions of the book: Egoism-Arrogance | Gratitude

The book: A lion, which once spared the life of a little mouse, fell into a trap. The king of the jungle, wrapped in ropes, tried to free himself. However, it was impossible. The tiger that passed by refused to help. The elephants tried, but they couldn't succeed. And just when the lion had despaired, that little mouse whose life he had spared appeared and freed him. How, you ask?

The series: Aesop's fables timelessly represent the folk spirit, and their main goal is to teach. Aesop, at the end of each of his stories, is not concerned with the redemption of the heroes, with the "they lived happily ever after" of fairy tales. Aesop is interested in the moral of the story, in highlighting a moral lesson that is easily understood by children and the public. This is precisely the moral that the books aim to highlight.
