伊索寓言

Aesop's Fables is a collection of stories that convey moral lessons through the use of anthropomorphic(拟人化的) animals. Each fable typically features a conflict or dilemma(困境) faced by the characters, leading to a resolution that highlights a particular virtue or vice. For example, in 'The Tortoise and the Hare,' the slow but steady tortoise wins a race against the overconfident hare, teaching the lesson that perseverance(毅力) and determination can lead to success. Another well-known fable, 'The Boy Who Cried Wolf,' illustrates the consequences(后果) of lying, as the boy's repeated false alarms result in no one believing him when a real wolf appears. Aesop's Fables often emphasize the importance of honesty, hard work, and humility(谦逊), making them timeless tales that resonate with readers of all ages. The simplicity of the narratives, combined with their profound messages, ensures that these fables remain relevant and impactful throughout generations.
