Welcome to Let It Be Easy with Susie Moore.

Well, well, well, my friends, story time.

Now, you may not know this, but I actually have a self-published version of Aesop's Fables for sale on Amazon. This book specifically has

been translated directly from Greek. And Asop was Greek. And if you're like, who the heck is

Asop? I swear you already know him. He was actually a Greek slave who lived two and a half thousand years ago

and through his stories and wisdom and wit became an advisor to the king. My friends, if you've ever

heard of the boy who cried wolf, that's a fable. If you've ever heard of

the hair and the tortoise, that's a fable. If you've ever heard of the fox and his sour grapes,

that's a fable, all hailing from ASOP, which goes to show that two and a half thousand years ago,

human nature was the same.

Rules were the same.

Universal truths were the same.

And I love how with Aesop's fables, they all stand alone.

You don't need to read them in any order.

And you get to kind of know the animals, like the fox is cunning and the lion is always strong and proud and I mean for me Aesop's Fables sit by my bedside I read them often I love them

Abraham Lincoln used to always say that reminds me of a story and he would keep Aesop's Fables and

the Bible on his bedside.

So we're going to go through a little fun season together, my friends, of me reading some

fables to you and then giving you my modern 2025 interpretation. Okay? So let's kick off with a first of my book here with the fable of the

lion and the mouse. You may know this one. In fact, this is one of my friend's favorite fables

because she has actually a real life story that's very similar to this. Okay? A lion was awakened

from sleep by a mouse running over his face.
