The Wolf In Sheeps Clothing And Other Fables

Do we see the real personality of people or is there more luring behind the surface? Sometimes the ones we trust the most might be playing a role contrary to their character. In his timeless fables, Aesop whispers from the past knowledge which we think we know, but very often forget. Aesop's fables feature animals, legendary creatures, plants, inanimate objects, or forces of nature that speak, solve problems, and generally have human characteristics. All the stories story lead to a particular moral lesson. Aesop (620–564 BCE) was a storyteller that was believed to have lived in Ancient Greece. He is celebrated for a number of fables now collectively known as Aesop's Fables. In the few scattered sources about his life, Aesop was described as a slave who by his cleverness acquires freedom and becomes an adviser to kings and city-states. Although Aesop's existence remains unclear, numerous tales credited to him were gathered across the centuries and in many languages in a storytelling tradition that continues to this day.

The central message of the well-known fable “The Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing” seems to be a simple one: appearances can be deceiving. In “The Milkmaid and the Pail,” readers learn not to count chickens before they hatch. Though it often takes life experiences to learn such lessons, Aesop’s fables lay the groundwork for readers. Through more than a dozen fables, readers encounter ideas important to character education as they use their imagination to meet Aesop’s lively characters. Brightly colored illustrations portray each fable in vivid detail.

A sly, sneaky wolf and a herd of fluffy, defenseless sheep""what chance do these sheep have against this clever, vicious wolf? Well, none actually, but things are about to change. Someone has come to care for and even give his life to protect these sheep from the wolf""a good shepherd. But the wolf is not finished yet. He has a sneaky plan to get his sheep dinner. His plan will make him blend right in, so he thinks. Will it work, or will the wolf be sadly disappointed? This book, although fun and a bit silly, depicts the love Jesus Christ has for us. The Bible tells of how Jesus is the Good Shepherd (John 10:11) and how all of us are like sheep who have gone astray. Satan, just like this wolf, is out to seek and destroy. We stand no chance against him. The ultimate goal is for this book to touch the lives of children and adults all around the world and for each reader to see that we need Jesus to be our Good Shepherd personally and to save us and guide our lives. May the Lord bless you and speak to your heart as you read this funny yet truthful story.

In this retelling of the Aesop's fable, a smart wolf is too clever for his own good. When he pretends to be a sheep so he can find his supper, things do not go as planned.

"The chemistry between these characters is downright palpable." —USA TODAY on The Wolf at the Door Agent Cooper Dayton and his partner, Oliver Park, are going undercover—at a retreat for couples who need counseling. They do say the best cover story is one that’s close to the truth… Agent Cooper Dayton is almost relieved to get a phone call from his former boss at the Bureau of Special Investigations. It means a temporary reprieve from tensions created by house hunting with Oliver Park, his partner both in work and in life. Living together in a forever home is exactly what Cooper wants. He’s just not keen on working out the details. With a former alpha werewolf missing, Cooper and Park are loaned to the BSI to conduct the search at a secluded mountain retreat. The agents will travel to the resort undercover…as a couple in need of counseling. The resort is picturesque, the grounds are stunning and the staff members are all suspicious as hell. With a long list of suspects and danger lurking around every cabin, Cooper should be focusing on the case. But he’s always been anxious about the power dynamics in his relationship with Park, and participating in the couples’ activities at the retreat brings it all to the surface. A storm is brewing, though, and Cooper and Park must rush to solve the case before the weather turns. Or before any more guests—or the agents themselves—end up dead.
