#Aesop&039;s Fable

[allaboutyoupostnthings]

Can you make a difference?

There is an Aesop fable in which a lion lets a little small field mouse go after the mouse pleads for his life. The mouse begged the lion for his life. He promised the lion that he would come to his aid if he ever needed assistance. The lion laughed at the possibility that a little tiny mouse could ever come to his aid. But he let him go anyway out of good humor. As the story goes the lion is…

The Ant and the Grasshopper

 Early Spring Seated on a stair beneath a dimly lit sconce, Andy Ant drew the book closer, securing it between his legs with tarsal claws pressed against his compound eyes. The faintly illuminated words became readable in the spill of light. “Hey ant-boy!” “Gaaaahhh!!!” Andy Ant nearly leaped out of his exoskeleton; his antennae stiffened, and the book thudded onto the floor. “Damn, Oly,…

Perseverance: Slow and Steady Wins the Race

We all have an inner need for perseverance and the will to find courage. Dr. Tom psychoanalyzes Aesop's tale, The Hare and Tortoise, in this article. #psychology #aesop #depthpsychology #asacredjourney #journey #sacred

Perseverance and the Need for Inner Courage I have always loved the story of The Hare and Tortoise. It is one of my favorite of Aesop’s fables. But what lessons does it teach, other than the age-old idiom slow and steady wins the race? When I read this story, I cannot help but think of two primary virtues: Perseverance and the will to engage our inner courage. Psyche, the element of the soul…

Grasshopper revision | David Berman

If the fable of “The grasshopper and the ants” was amended so that the world ended before the turn of winter, then the grasshopper would have been wiser and the moral would have vindicated him. In a story, the location of the ending is very deliberate. From David Berman’s December 1994 essay/poem/riff “Clip-On Tie,” which could be read as a Christmas story, if you like.

But Who Plays The Wolf?

The Boy Who Cried Wolf  … from Aesop’s Fables There once was a shepherd boy who was bored as he sat on the hillside watching the village sheep. To amuse himself he took a great breath and sang out, “Wolf! Wolf! The Wolf is chasing the sheep!” The villagers came running up the hill to help the boy drive the wolf away. But when they arrived at the top of the hill, they found no wolf. The boy…

Horror Movie Review: The Devil's Carnival (2012)

The Devil’s Carnival is a lot of fun. The story is weighted down by tales of murder, suicide and greed but dressed up in flashy and stage-like visuals.

We love a musical horror, the likes of Stage Fright and Repo! A Genetic Opera have given us much joy. So The Devil’s Carnival is on to a winner straight away, being a musical horror movie. That it was also directed by Darren Lynn Bousman, stars the likes Sean Patrick Flanery, Briana Evigan, Jessica Lowndes, Paul Sorvino, Emilie Autumn and draws from Aesop’s Fables is the icing on the cake. It…

The Ants and the Grasshopper The Aesop for Children http://read.gov/aesop/052.html

Sometimes it is hard to create horror in a world so horrific. I sometimes break from it out of sensitivity for the situation, incredulity over politics, and personal burnout. When I am not anxious, I sometimes feel flat. Can anyone relate?

The personal horror for me is realizing lessons I never learned…

Triple Down Bummers Now Come in Grape Flavor

Triple Down Bummers Now Come in Grape Flavor

You heard me right.  Grape flavor.  Specifically sour grape flavor.

I put my family on an airplane today to go be with my oldest son while he has surgery.

I get to stay home with the family dog because my back is hurting so fiercely from weather and arthritis that I can’t possibly spend hours on a plane.

So, sour grapes.

You know the Aesop’s Fable about the fox and the grapes?

The fox, seeing…
