Aesop's Fables: The Donkey's Brains

The Donkey's Brains

The Lion and the Fox went hunting together. The Lion, on the advice of the Fox, sent a message to the Donkey, proposing to make an alliance between their two families. The Donkey came to the place of meeting, overjoyed at the prospect of a royal alliance. But when he came there the Lion simply pounced on the Donkey, and said to the Fox: "Here is our dinner for today. Watch you here while I go and have a nap. Woe betide you if you touch my prey." The Lion went away and the Fox waited; but finding that his master did not return, ventured to take out the brains of the Donkey and ate them up. When the Lion came back he soon noticed the absence of the brains, and asked the Fox in a terrible voice: "What have you done with the brains?" "Brains, your Majesty! it had none, or it would never have fallen into your trap."

Wit has always an answer ready.

Project for my final. Our task: create a book of at least 2000 words. My task: Book of 13 Aesop Fables complete with original work. It's SOOOOO challenging. I have 7/13 done, 8/13 sketched and ready to digitize. Good news, though: once the pictures are done, the rest is a piece of cake~
