We will start by reading two Fables by Aesop in the section “Grammar in Context” in your textbook. You

CULTURAL NOTE
“Aesop was an ancient Greek writer. He is said to have lived from about 620 to 560 B.C. and to have
been a slave who was then freed. He is credited for the creation of 600 fables, most of which deal with
animals. His fables are often told to children because of the valuable lessons they teach.” Tiberio (2006)
