Three hundred Aesop’s fables, Aesop’s Fables, part 15, sentence 25

It is divided into four books, and consists of long conversations conducted by fictitious characters under the figures the beasts of the field and forest, and aimed at the rebuke of particular classes of men, the boastful, the proud, the luxurious, the wrathful, &c. None of the stories are precisely those of Æsop, and none have the concinnity, terseness, and unmistakable deduction of the lesson intended to be taught by the fable, so conspicuous in the great Greek fabulist.

Who acts: consists, none, unmistakable deduction, fable, lesson · What happens: divide, conduct, aim, have, intend, teach · To what, where: two, four books, rebuke, concinnity, particular classes
