 ==== Fable Title ====
-The Fowler and the Ringdove
+The Lion and the Mouse
 ==== Author ====
-Re-written for children by Barbara Sanders
+Aesop
 ==== Summary ====
-In this fable, a man goes into the woods with the intent to shoot an animal with his bow and arrow. On the way he steps on a snake and the snake bites him. As the poison goes through him, he realizes that he is dying and that it’s his own fault because of his ill intent toward the animals.
+In this fable, a lion was sleeping and a mouse decided to go on it and explore it. When the lion woke up, he caught the mouse in its claws. The mouse said he will help the lion out someday if he let the mouse go. The mouse ended up escaping. The next day, the mouse noticed the lion was caught by some hunters so the mouse decided to help the lion get away by nibbling on the rope. The lion apologized to the mouse.
 ==== Moral ====
-If you go out looking to cause trouble, you will get into trouble.
+Always help out others in need, no matter what. Also, never judge a book by its cover (even the smallest could be the mightiest).
 ==== Analyze Author Craft ====
-This fable has a great moral, although it may be a bit vague to some. The lesson is clear, and the story is simple. It is one that many children can relate to. It would be very easy for a child to relate the moral to a situation that they may have experienced in their own lives (although not as severe).
+This fable was very simple for children to read and enjoy. It involved animals, a problem, resolution, and moral. It included quotes as well to make the animals act like humans. It was very clear to read and the events were laid out perfectly.
 ==== Favorite Part ====
-My favorite part of this fable is when the man acknowledges his own fault in his actions. Although there is nothing that he can do to change them, he recognized how his own actions led to his fate.
+My favorite part of this fable is when the mouse helped out the lion. The lion was mean to the mouse and judged the mouse by its side, yet the mouse kept his promise on helping the lion. He pushed everything the lion said and did to him away to help out the lion. It shows the mouse has a big heart, even though she has a small body. I also appreciated how the lion apologized.
