The fables remain a popular choice for moral education of children today. Many of the stories, such as The Fox and the Grapes (from which the idiom \"sour grapes\" derives), The Tortoise and the Hare, The North Wind and the Sun, The Boy Who Cried Wolf and The Ant and the Grasshopper are well-known throughout the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOf the many skills a child acquires during his or her development, perhaps the most valuable to lifelong pleasure and further learning is the ability to read.
