Ep. 777 - The League of Rats - A French Fairytale
I just so happen to live with a cat, and as such I can see that Jean de la Fontaine's 'The League of Rats' is less fable than it is nonfiction.

Ep. 776 - The Gardener and His Landlord - A French Fairytale
Jean de la Fontaine's 'The Gardener and His Landlord' is a wonderful fable to demonstrate that asking for help from the rich can often result in more trouble than help.
