We're into the second week of Storytimes for the Summer Migrant Education Program. Three groups of mixed ages are visiting the library three times a week for three weeks.Last week we told Trickster Tales and placed the characters on a world map: Anansi the Spider, Zomo the Rabbit, Brer Rabbit and Brer Fox, Coyote , and Jabuti the Tortoise.
This week, we enjoyed a few of the many collected fables: The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse, The Fox and the Grapes, and the Milkmaid and her Pail, to name just three. And just for fun, a tale of Renard the Fox called "Renard and Crow."
My favorite moral: Said the country mouse to the town mouse: "A humble life with peace and quiet is better than a spendid one with danger and risk." --Aesop
