"Aesop in Select Fables" features a collection of fables attributed to Aesop, focusing on moral lessons through animal characters. One notable fable included is the dialogue between Bow-Steeple Dragon and the Exchange Grasshopper.

Their conversation reveals contrasting perspectives on wealth, satisfaction, and the importance of balance in life. Through clever anecdotes and sharp wit, the tale emphasizes the virtues of humility and the dangers of excessive desire, demonstrating how wisdom often lies in simplicity.
