Fable is fond of imparting the wisdom he's gleaned over the years to my younger pets. The kids sit on Trevor's shell (when Clancy allows it) and listen to him for hours, totally enraptured. Peloquin has been known to drop by and quietly listen, and Lucien and Bava enjoy spending some afternoons being "schooled" as well. Fable's favorite tale as of late is Aesop's:

The North Wind and The Sun
The North Wind boasted of great strength. The Sun argued that there was great power in gentleness.
"We shall have a contest," said the Sun.
Far below, a man traveled a winding road. He was wearing a warm winter coat.
"As a test of strength," said the Sun, "Let us see which of us can take the coat off of that man."

"It will be quite simple for me to force him to remove his coat," bragged the Wind. The Wind blew so hard, the birds clung to the trees. The world was filled with dust and leaves. But the harder the wind blew down the road, the tighter the shivering man clung to his coat.

Then, the Sun came out from behind a cloud. Sun warmed the air and the frosty ground. The man on the road unbuttoned his coat. The sun grew slowly brighter and brighter. Soon the man felt so hot, he took off his coat and sat down in a shady spot.

"How did you do that?" said the Wind.
"It was easy," said the Sun, "I lit the day. Through gentleness I got my way."

(Retold by Heather Forest at Story Library, a marvelous resource.)

The moral of this fable is "Kindness, gentleness, and persuasion win where force fails."
