Sesame Street - The lion & the mouse

[Garrettk41]

Here's a rhyme that pretty much sums up the moral of this tale:

Big fellow, little fellow

Help each other out.

One will come a running

When he hears the other shout.

Man Aesop was one smart slave spreadin this propaganda!!

Does anyone have the "dog and the bone" sketch from Sesame Street?

I remember seeing this skit when I was very young, and I always thought that it looked cute from 1:02-1:04 that the mouse was looking at the audience like he was saying "is that the lion who is roaring?" and/or "this is my chance to help and be nice to the lion since he was nice to me."

This story is from "The Fables of Aesop" (Aesop's Fables or Aesopica refers to a collection of fables credited to Aesop (620560 BC), a slave and story-teller who lived in Ancient Greece. Aesop's Fables have become a blanket term for collections of brief fables, especially beast fables involving anthropomorphic animals. His fables are some of the most well known in the world. The fables remain a popular choice for moral education of children today.) "The Fox and the Grapes" is another.

Reading your comment inspired me to see if the "Sesame Street" version of the "Fox and the Grapes" was on You Tube. I could not find it. I guess that it has not been uploaded.

This is really something I accually enjoyed!!! I never thought I'd say this, but it is really super!! I don't often say that stuff to shows like these before, but this one is really different!!!

Very clever production and good voices too! Wonderful graphics and superb story telling! Please check out my own humble story telling version of this story. Thanks!

I thought the moral of this story was "little friends can make big friends"!

[Pocockable]

@lfrage

That partly is the moral. Small things can make a really big difference, even though it's often hard to believe.

[Smartboy8877]

@lfrage

That is another very valuable lesson that could be learned from this story!

[Pocockable]

@lfrage

That could be the moral as well. Many stories have many morals.

I often wonder who did the graphics and so on for this SS clip. Any ideas?
