I have been reading "Aesops fables."Â This is a wonderful collection of short stories with a wise message or moral meaning.
Aesop lived in ancient Greece between 520 and 564 BCE so long before Jesus Christ , he had once been a slave, who had then risen to a high position in the society, because of his wise counsels, especially within the circles of the upper classes. He was also an incredibly good story teller and wise adviser.
His stories were carefully collected and were then published in a book titled "Aesop's Fables"
Today I read the story whose title is-
"The Kingdom of the Lion" It is the story about a Lion who was wise, gentle and never cruel. The beasts of the forest chose him to rule over them as their King, because he was wise and kind. During his reign he issued a royal proclamation and sumoned all the beasts of the forest to attend the meeting. He announced to them, that it was his wish to have universal peace in the whole animal world.
He wanted the wolf and the lamb, the panther and the kid, the tiger and the stag and the dog and the hare to live together in perfect peace. When he heard this the hare said this "O how I have longed for this day" when the weak shall live without danger by the side of the strong"
From AÂ Selection of Aesop's Fables retold and edited for schools by Gordon Maxwell. London, James Brodie, LTD. Denmark Place. WC2
These are sweet little stories you can read to yourself or to your children or grand children. They are witty and full of wisdom and good instruction.
Some of these ideas are not new. Man has always searched for ways to find peace. We can hear echoes of these ideas in the scriptures of the Bible where it says and the lion shall lie down with the lamb Compare Isaiah 11 v 6-9with Revelation 21 v 1-4 in the Bible. Â
