AESOP

 

March 8 - 31, 2019

Is a bat more “rodent” or “fowl”? From what stagnant source do frogs replicate a leadership strategy? Could an ensnared lion benefit from mouse aid? Why are foxes such weasels?  

The answers lie beyond the shadows of a crackling forest campfire where an escaped hunchback slave sits and warms himself.  Embittered by his own “inhumane society,” the man rivets his attention to the ins-and-outs of the Animal Kingdom…and slowly gains a unique four-footed perspective on the foibles of humankind.
