This Week's Question:
Which book would you prescribe to your students to read and why would it make an impression on them?
Answer:
If I were to prescribe my students to read a certain book, that would be Aesop's Fable.

According to WIKI, Aesop was a fabulist and storyteller from Greece. He created a lot of stories and tales in his lifetime. He also created various fables and soon was collected and known as "Aesop's Fables". Actually, the books that are available now are translations from his original collection.
I remember having a book containing some of his fables when I was a child. When you say fables, these are stories mostly with animal characters which teach us moral lessons. When I was young, Aesop's Fables really had a great impact on me. The collection that I had back then always had an explanation after each fable as well as "Moral of the Story" part. There were also some questions that made me think about life even as a young child.
The fables he wrote were just very short but they tell something big. Each story speaks of a certain value that people should have. Though with animal characters, readers can relate every story with people. It's really very interesting.
I suppose this book can be read by all ages. Even young kids will enjoy this because there are also picture books available.
Among his fables, I really liked "The Ant and The Grasshopper" and "The Hare and The Tortoise".

"The Ant and the Grasshopper" reminds us to always be ready for the future. Of course, living in the present is important, however, it wouldn't hurt us to prepare something for the future.

As for "The Hare and The Tortoise", it tells us to be consistent and never give up. In the story, the hare was really overconfident and because of that he neglected something very important, his determination to win. As for the tortoise, despite being slow... he never gave u p until the end.
These are just two of the many stories we can read from "Aesop's Fables", so I hope students will get the chance to read this awesome collection!
Thanks a lot for reading my homework! Have a great day and let's support @steemiteducation!
