What's an "Un-Classic" fable short?

An "un-classic" fable is the classic Aesop parable told in simple language with the purpose of driving home the main moral of the story.  As a fun and thoughtful twist, at the end of each fable, there is an alternate ending with a different moral.

“Short” describes the length of the story.  These fables are typically under 1,000 total words with a unique word count under 200.

The Un-Classic Shorts are written in a reader-theatre format. Students can act them out, or read them on their own in a class period or two.
