The simplicity and nobility of morals in Aesop's fables makes this a great read, irrespective of one's age. No particular character gets out victorious consistently in the plethora of short stories, but each gets taught a lesson that strength and weakness are interchangeable. As children we get taught these lessons, and often they seem didactic. Reading them as adults, they solidify our principles but they also reawaken many long-forgotten values.
