Reading Notes: Aesop (Winter) Part A

~~

I have really come to like the stories categorized under Aesop. I wanted to see how different the children's stories were, so I read Part A of Aesop's for Children story series. 

As with all of Aesop's tales, there's a takeaway message. The one that caught my eye this time was the saying "You are judged by the company you keep" in the story "The Farmer and the Stork".

I thought about using this message and creating a modern day story about a college student and his/her parent with the same takeaway message. I would want to make this story much longer than what the fable was here. I will still keep the same plot line where one character is found in the same community of other characters, and judged accordingly.

Maybe I could even use the fake social media image generator to have some type of personal image to support the story I write. 

Maybe after I read Part B tomorrow I will have a better idea of the story I wish to recreate.
