Aesop's Fables is one of the great sources of moral lessons available.
A psychological study published in Frontiers In Psychology, October 6, 2015 describes children’s developing understanding of story characters’ intentions and the resulting lesson that one can take away from Aesop’s well-known fables. The first study examines how fables understanding changes across grades from Junior Kindergarten (4 year-olds) to Grade 6 (12 year-olds), and the second study examines how “theory of mind” development in Kindergarten is related to fables understanding.
