The Ant and the Dove This story was about how the Dove saved the Ant from drowning and in return, the Ant later helped the Dove. The moral of this story was a kindness is never wasted. I connected to this story because, my roommate and I were talking about how sometime it may seem that you are always kind to people but, those people may not always be kind to you in return. Although this may be true, you should never stop being kind to others but like Aesop said, a kindness is never wasted.
The Cat the Cock, and the Young Mouse This story is about a young mouse that comes across a rooster and a cat. The mouse judges his feeling for these two animals based off of their looks. To the young mouse, the rooster looks frightening while the cat looks fluffy and harmless. Frightened by the rooster's yell and ran away before he had a chance to talk to the cat. The mother mouse then explains to the young mouse that the cat was their enemy and that you should never judge people by their looks. This story reminded me of something I learned in one of my psychology classes. Naturally, we do tend to judge people by their appearance. Studies have shown that people who are seen as more attractive, are also seen as more trustworthy.
