There is wisdom in stories that survive through the ages.

Before Cartoon Network, children learned morality- and to be afraid of dangerous things- through Grimm's fairy tales.

Shakespeare is still read in schools and colleges, and considered instructive in the arts of love, war, and literature.

And, get this... some people still read the bible

Imagine that

I prefer to reference "The Little Red Hen" when discussing other countries' participation (or lack thereof) in the war and the rebuilding efforts. Aesop, anyone?

Your cynicism caused me to gag.
