They are told four to a track, so a single track makes a good bedtime story.
Context and significance The fables are credited to Aesop, a storyteller said to have lived in Greece in the sixth century BC, though they come from many hands and many centuries. This text is the American Aesop for Children of 1919, famous for Milo Winter's pictures, and nineteen volunteers read it in a little over three hours.
