Reading Diary A: La Fontaine

For this week, I read the La Fontaine Aesop unit. It was cool to reread Aesop's fables in this storytelling style. The stories are lyrical and fun to read.

I really enjoyed the story of The Ass in the Lion's Skin. I thought that the story was really funny, and it was amusing to imagine people being scared off by that. It seems like someone would have noticed that it was just a skin before Old Martin did, but people can be very oblivious, so it's not totally surprising.

I also really enjoyed the Fox stories, of course. The last one, The Cat and the Fox, was one that I hadn't read before. I felt really badly for the fox in this story because the cat manages to outsmart him when the hounds arrive.
