Introduction: Fables are great stories that teach lessons about life. Many fantastic fairy tales have been written, but for the life of me I have never read any of them. What little I know about fairy tales is that they use personified animals as characters and use them to teach readers valuable life lessons. Most of the fairy tales made today are for children and they are great for them because they are easy for children to understand because they use animals. But I know that the old fairy tales were censored because they were a little too graphic for our young people today. If you're wondering why I chose to write a report on fairy tales rather than the other options, my answer is simply that I don't know much about fairy tales. I have listened to a lot more fairy tales and folk tales than fairy tales and would like to research something that has a better impact on our lives in a positive way. So with this article I want to explore and find out more about the famous Aesop and his great works of art. I also want to understand what makes people so attracted to fairy tales and their lessons. I know that stories are important to us because they can give us an escape from the difficulties of life, but I wonder why we like Aesop's fables so much. The Research: With my interest in learning more about Aesop and his work, I began the research research. However I ran into a problem and that's where I'll start. After consulting with my colleagues, I decided that I should first start with research on the famous writer of these fables, and that man is called Aesop. For my research on Aesop I used an online encyclopedia, but it was frustrating because it was difficult to find articles with information about him or...... middle of paper ......d valued for future generations , but that's great, because you know it will always be in use and will always inform or entertain someone. Aesop's name will never be forgotten even if he did not create all these amazing works of art. Work cited "Aesop". Encyclopedia of World Biography. vol. 24. Detroit: Gale, 2005.
