This is a simple request I ask of fellow mashabiki of the fairy tales & fables spot: if wewe can, try to refrain from bombarding this spot with Disney-related links, videos, and picha and instead expand what wewe consider the 'classic' fairytales and fables. While it is true that sinema do rely as much on fairytales and fables as vitabu of yore did, the commercialization of Disney's versions of these classic tales overwhelm the vibrant worlds of Mother Goose, Aesop's Fables, and Hans Christian Andersen. I wonder how many children are unaware that the traditional Little Mermaid had our fishy protagonist dying in the end as her prince married another, as opposed to marrying him herself and living happily ever after? While it is much in the tradition of fairytales and fables to evolve beyond their original form, I request that we keep the Fairytales & Fables Spot as literature-based as we can. That's not to say comparisons between the many incarnations of fairytales are not welcomed. In fact, they will be greeted heartedly. But pakia your Disney images, videos, and viungo in the Disney spot. Share the classics here. Thanks.
An Aesop's Fable
One hot summer's siku a fox, mbweha was strolling through an orchard till he came to a bunch of Grapes just ripening on a vine which had been trained over a lofty branch. "Just the thing to quench my thirst," quoth he. Drawing back a few paces, he took a run and a jump, and just missed the bunch. Turning round again with a One, Two, Three, he jumped up, but with no greater success. Again and again he tried after the tempting morsel, but at last had to give it up, and walked away with his nose in the air, saying: "I am sure they are sour."
It is easy to despise what wewe cannot get
