I'd say that some of the bad press that foxes have suffered from over the years can be attributed to the Fables (as well as other early children's stories). And are donkeys so deserving of their lowly status? Aesop's Fables have been with us for millenia, and they are still enjoyable today, full of wit and wisdom.
