Lion
Picture by Kevin Pluck

I couldn't help but think of The Lion
King when I was reading this fable. I could include this movie in my own story
I wanted to help my readers picture The Lion King while reading my own little
twist including elements of the fable. I can make it into a kid friendly short
story with different animals.
My favorite part of this fable was the
moral of the story—listen to your parents because they want the best for you!
That was kind of my own interpretation of the fable. There are so many things I
can portray with this concept like the consequences of now abiding by the rules
parents set for us, and the reasons behind them.
I really like the way this fable was
set up. I may follow the flow of the fable, and how the lion goes to different
animals to ask the same question. I think it’s a simple and easy way to follow
the end of the short story. I’m looking forward to using my imagination! I’ll
also include of a lot of nature to help my main character if I can. I think this
will help my setting come together. For character development, I’ll include
best friends with my main character for dialogue! Looking forward to create my
writing with this short story!
Hi Dhara, I am so glad you liked that fable! It's not part of the classical Aesop, though, so I am not sure how you ended up reading this unit; it's part of the British section that comes later. So, for reading B, make sure you choose one of the actual Aesop units that are part of the Greek/Roman tradition; you can find all the Classical options here: Week 3-4 Classical reading units.... there are two different Aesop units to choose from, one by Joseph Jacobs and the other with illustrations by Milo Winter. I hope that makes sense! For Lions, do the Joseph Jacobs option: you will find lots of lions there. Joseph Jacobs: Aesop... do Reading A for your Reading B this week to get the lions. :-)
