Ever feel like Aesop's fables are a bit out of touch with today's fast-paced world? You're not alone. These ancient tales are packed with wisdom, but sometimes it's tough to see how they fit into our lives today.

Each classic tale is presented then re-told for the modern era.

That's because Aesop's stories are more than just old tales with morals at the end. They're pithy little tales full of timeless advice on ethical choices. Whether it's the clever fox who realizes some grapes are just out of reach, or the slow and steady tortoise who wins the race, these fables have something to say about the everyday challenges we all face. No joke. Aesop's wisdom applies as much in the modern world as it did 600 years BC. That's because, no matter how complex humans make their existence, their lives revolve around a timeless set of very human complexities.

So, why not dive into some modern takes on these classic stories? We've spruced them up, making them super relatable and right in step with today's issues.
