"Aesop's Fables"--week11

Hello, everyone!!

How are you? I’m fine, because I ate French cooking yesterday. A name of the cooking is “galette”. It’s so delicious, so if you have an opportunity, please try it!

Now then, I’ll talk about the “Aesop’s Fables”. The title of this story that I read is “The lion, the ass, and the fox who went hunting”. It’s long title, but the story isn’t so long. One day, the lion, the ass and the fox went hunting together. They caught a healthy meal, and the lion asked the ass to divide the spoils. Of course, the ass made three equal pats. When the lion noticed that the meal is equal, he was very angry and tore the ass to pieces. Next, the lion asked the fox to divide the spoils, and the fox gathered everything into one great pile except for a tiny portion. The fox learned from the ass’s fate. It is cruel story, isn’t it?

If you were the ass, what do you do? I think that the ass and fox shouldn’t be friend with the lion. The story thought us “Better to learn from the mistakes of others than by your own”. I think it is right.
