This week on myths and legends, we're back in Aesop's fables with a whole new batch of the sometimes problematic

morality tales put down by Aesop, the legendary fabulous.

We'll see some oxen lead the revolution.

What happens when your arms and legs go on strike

and how to tell if that predator wearing your friend's loose skin is suspicious.

The creature this week is a dragon who just wants to help you out with pest removal.

This is myths and where we tell stories from

episode 385 on the farm.

This is a podcast where we tell stories from mythology and folklore.

Some are incredibly popular stories you might think you know, but with surprising origins.

Others are tales that might be new to you, but are definitely worth a listen.

We're once again telling the fables by the possibly legendary Greek fabulous, Aesop.

As I mentioned the last time we talked about these, he was, according to stories, an enslaved man who, through his storytelling ability, gained freedom

and served as an advisor to kings. A fable is of course an often supernatural story

usually with a moral or a lesson.

We'll jump in with some sheep in the field,

and a new friend who has come over to ask for a little help. Hello there fellow sheep, The sheep who stood apart from the rest of the herd said to the others.

Hey, one said back and then looked, what's going on with your face and body? Why is your wool so

matted that, wait, is that blood? The sheep turned to his friend, hey, there was

something wrong. This guy needed help.

The other sheep turned and squinted.

Oh, yeah, that was the wolf.
