Reading Notes: Aesop's Fables - The Lions

I was completely enchanted by all of the lion fables. They were short, sweet, and had a long-lasting effect with the simple message that was given to each story. My two favorites were The Lion and the Statue, and the Lion in Love (link found here). 

The message in both of these short fables was very strong. I think if I might want to recreate one of these stories and make it lengthy. While this short story can give a strong message, I wonder if I can get the same effects with making a long story with the same characters, same message, and maybe a little different plot. 

This style of writing was very effective with its small amount of characters, simple storyline, and simple language. I want to see if I can emulate this with the same amount of characters, a more complex storyline but still with simple language. Maybe more like a storybook type of story in which children can read to understand the takeaway message.

 Excited to see what I end up writing about!
