A GROOM used to spend whole days in currycombing and rubbing down his Horse,
but at the same time stole his oats and sold them for his own profit.
“Alas!” said the Horse, “if you really wish me to be in good condition, you should groom me less, and feed me more.”
Aesops Fables are a collection of short stories that each contain a moral or lesson. These fables (such as 'The Boy who Cried Wolf') are known across the world. Aesop was a Greek slave who lived during the 5th century BC and either created or popularised existing fables, so their wisdom could be enjoyed by future generations.
