This book of very short modern day fables is meant to spark lively conversations from kids age 13 to a 120. Each fable contains a proverbial lesson. But what exactly is that lesson? And is there necessarily one particular lesson to be gleaned? Discuss. Or write down your answer on the blank sheet I provide after the story and lend the book to a friend or family member and let them write what they think. Maybe the book, marked up with several lessons, will someday hold great interest for one's children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. So many stories, and so many interpretations, because we all see things in our own way.
