In the ancient world, Fables were not meant to be for children. Their pedagogical intent was supposedly addressed to an illiterate population, which needed to be taught the values of the society and how to behave in it. In fact, the concept of Fables as children-oriented literature is recent and have its roots in the eighteenth-century, even though there are some proofs of older fables intended to educate children . Harriet Spielberg is the author of “Instructing the Children: Advice from the twelfth-century

This is an odd (and long) one, which, because it’s not a direct quote, I’ve put in the category of Fake Buddha Stories. Hold onto your headgear! Tara Brach has a blog post called “Inviting Mara to Tea.” Now Mara, in case you’re not aware of him, is a character from the Buddha’s life. He’s what we’d call a “supernatural” being (although Buddhism sees him as entirely natural, but not from our realm of existence). He represents doubt, and so most western Buddhists take his appearances as being a

After reading “Mermaid Fever,” the statement that I think this essay makes about societal attitudes is that people will react and behave very strangely to anything that is out of the ordinary. The narrator bases his essay on a public beach, located in a small town in Connecticut, and out of the blue, this teenage girl’s body was washed up under the tide line one summer night. After extensive scientific tests and examinations on the body, the news finally broke out that the girl was a mermaid. The
private beach right now in California. You are sitting in a comfortable lawn chair with a front-row seat to the Pacific Ocean. You have waiters bringing you any kind of drink or food you want, and the sun is making you golden tan. Now, imagine the thrill you get while being on a roller coaster. The sun is beating down on you while you are standing in line, but the wait for the exhilarating roller coaster is worth it. I was able to experience all this and more on my trip to Los Angeles, California.
Wolf started off by saying that the sun reflects off of the moon, making a shadow on the moon. This is right because the sun reflects off of the moon. But, he was also wrong because it’s not a shadow on the moon, it’s a reflection. The sun’s light reflecting off of the moon makes it visible to us on Earth. He also said that the moon revolves around the sun. This is wrong because the moon rotates counterclockwise around the Earth as the Earth revolves around the sun. The moon’s rotation around the Earth
Galactic News: It 's an honor to be talking to you today Mr. Sunce. May I ask you how you became a star? Mr. Sunce: Well you see, I didn 't exactly have parents like you human folk. I came from a solar nebula, which as you probably know is a giant, rotating cloud of gas and dust. When gravity caused it to collapse, it started to spin even faster and flattened into a disk. A lot of the material was pulled toward the center, which resulted in the eventual creation of me. I was a protostar in my childhood

Mad About the Boy. You paddle across the yellow sand with your brother-in-law, Jack, who is carrying a huge banana-coloured parasol over you to keep the bright sun from your black-haired head. Your twin sister, Jean, walks a few metres away carrying her own parasol, lifting the hem of her lemon-coloured dress in case the incoming tide should dampen it. Your dress is the same colour and style as hers. Your mother always dressed you the same when you were young girls, and now that you are young
