This week, I researched topics for my final story. I looked at a few Aesop's fables in order to determine my exact theme. Here are the stories I looked at, they are all pretty short but they share similar themes. Perhaps by looking at them, you can guess how my last story is going to go?
Each of these stories were taken from Aesop's Fables by V.S. Vernon Jones.
The Wolf and his Shadow
In this story, a wolf sees his shadow and notices how large it is. He then thinks that he is huge and that he is greater than lions, however, at that moment, a lion comes by and pounces on him. The wolf realizes that he was foolish in thinking he was greater than lions just by the size of his shadow.
The Cat and the Fox
In this story, a fox brags about how many talents he has compared to a cat. However, a pack of dogs appears and, while the cat climbs a tree, the fox is killed by the dogs.
The Stag and the Hunter
In this story, a stag sees his mighty horns in a reflection and realizes how amazing they are. However, his legs are thin and weak in comparison. He disdains his legs until a hunter with a pack of dogs appears. He runs away but his antlers are caught in the brush and he is stuck until the dogs reach him. He realizes that his horns were his undoing while his legs could have saved him.
With these three stories, I think I have great material to use for inspiration when writing my final story.
