I first read this when i was 6.it was my first book that wasn't exactly a childreans book.having read it numerous amount of times since then. i have found that each time i read the stories, i have interpreted the stories differently each time.Take the tortise and the hare for example (the most famous of aesops fables).age 6 - Poor fluffy rabbit lost :o( i'm glad the tortise won.age 12 - why does everyone pick on the poor tortise? big bully for the hare.age 20 - ah Slow and steady wins the race... lol good one aesop. age 30- slow and staeady wins the race.... i may be slow but at least i'm doing the job right. nothing like rushing ahead and not doing the job properlyyou know i think the stories true meaning may have finally sunk in. i'm not sure if that is jus me being slow. or how i have perceived the stories as i've grown older.
