The purpose of this interactive project is to compare world views. Aesop's fable represents one world view. In these interactive projects we are going to imagine other world views that could have shaped other tales, with other morals. With them, we hope to create a whole gallery and library of world views, that we may come to hear and see each other more fully.

This interactive project is based on the Aesop's Fable: The Farmer and the Snake and our visual interpretation of that fable.

As you go through each of the project steps, you may click on any of the Step numbers to see how jeanne did that step. But we will have a richer collection of Fables de la Paix if you shape your own values and ideas into these tales. There is no "right" way to rewrite a fable; there are just many different fables from many different world views and life experiences.

Click on any of the Steps to see how jeanne did them.

Step 1. What was Aesop's moral for "The Farmer and the Snake?" and What will your moral be?

Step 2. Will you need to adapt your story to fit your moral?

Step 3. Make those changes in the story.

Step 4. With your rewrite, would you like to change your moral?

Step 5. Isn't there another fable about a lion and a small creature, like a mouse, that removes a thorn from its paw?
