I read the book King Midas and The Golden Touch. This book is a myth. I can prove this is a myth because this book has a Moral (lesson).

Hi Raina,
We'll chat today in class about your book selection. Even though the word 'legend' is in the title of your book, it does not have the elements to make it a true legend. Not to worry, we will figure it out together.

Hi 3B ,
I read Aesop's Fables .The Fable I read was ANDROCLES AND THE LIONS .
The moral of the story was gratitude is not limited to human kind.
Another fable I liked is THE MICE AND THE WEASELS .the moral of this fable is don't scarifice what is practical for the sake of pomp and show.
And also I like THE DONKEY AND THE LAPDOG which I found to be very funny ,and the moral is ... What is right for one may be wrong for another.
