Read to your children from Aesop’s Fables. Read them the story of The Goose That Laid The Golden Eggs. This will teach them about greed and how the Democrat Party is killing The USA. Read them the story of The Dog With The Bone. This will also teach them about greed and envy and how the Democrat party is killing The USA. We had a copy of Aesop’s Fables in our house when I was a child. The stories are thousands of years old. They teach you that the nature of humans hasn’t changed much over that time. There have always been greedy, stupid people. We have to watch out for them and keep them out of government.
I know. Saw it on Rocky and Bullwinkle.
Do the stories tell how the republicans are bending over and taking it?
Scorpion and the frog, Farmer and the viper
When they start reading on their own give them the Beatrix Potter set.
They will learn any number of good lessons there as well. Don't run your business on credit, don't believe the person who tells you that you are special and wants you to go off with them, if you don't keep an eye on who comes in your home it can get very crowded and messy, being a jerk never ends well, good deeds may result in rewards from unexpected places, Dad's are great people to have on your side and so forth.
Make adults read them, over and over. Forever. Explain them to them.
Indeed!

Excellent idea! I’m going to get my grandson that book.

Read it yourself, even if you don’t have kids.
I was curious about this and looked them up. I found a collection of Aesop’s fables. Here is one I never had heard before:
A long time ago a Man met a Satyr in the forest and succeeded in making friends with him. The two soon became the best of comrades, living together in the Man’s hut. But one cold winter evening, as they were walking homeward, the Satyr saw the Man blow on his fingers.
“Why do you do that?” asked the Satyr.
“To warm my hands,” the Man replied.
When they reached home the Man prepared two bowls of porridge. These he placed steaming hot on the table, and the comrades sat down very cheerfully to enjoy the meal. But much to the Satyr’s surprise, the Man began to blow into his bowl of porridge.
“Why do you do that?” he asked.
“To cool my porridge,” replied the Man.
The Satyr sprang hurriedly to his feet and made for the door.
“Goodby,” he said, “I’ve seen enough. A fellow that blows hot and cold in the same breath cannot be friends with me!”
Moral:
“The man who talks for both sides is not to be trusted by either.”

The man we know as Aesop was actually Yosef ben Yaakov (aka Joseph son of Jacob of the coat of many colors).
