This is the legendary tale of Aesop, an ancient Greek slave who gained his freedom through ten fables. Born 2,500 years ago, the slave Aesop was sold to a master. There, he learned to speak, and to survive, slaves used secret codes to pass messages. He crafted ten fables--including "The Tortoise and the Hare," "The Boy Who Cried Wolf," "The Fox and the Crow," "The Ant and the Grasshopper," and "The Lion and the Statue"--to impart profound wisdom to his friends while skillfully weaving the narrative of his own life. He also solved his master's problems through these tales. In the end, to reward the clever Aesop, his master granted him the most precious thing a slave could possess--freedom.
