Fable: a short story, typically with animals as
characters, conveying a moral. Kids whose parents read them fables are better at
solving problems than those who did not and fables teach kids how to be
emotionally stable in all the unpleasant situations. Fables display how
relationships between people work. As a result, explore our Fables library and read them to your

Folktales: A folktale is a popular story that was
passed on in spoken form, from one generation to the next. Usually the author is
unknown and there are often many versions of the tale. Folktales comprise fables, fairy
tales, old legends and even 'urban legends'. Children develop a sense of
imagination when reading and studying folktales, and retelling the tales to
others helps practice important communication skills.
Idioms:
a group of words established by usage as having a meaning not deducible from
those of the individual words. Also, idiom is an expression, word, or phrase
that has a figurative meaning conventionally understood by native speakers. This
meaning is different from the literal meaning of the idiom's individual
elements. In other words, idioms don't mean exactly what the words say. Explore

“All the books were beginning to turn against me. Indeed, I must have been blind as a bat not to have seen it long before, the ludicrous contradiction between my theory of life and my actual experiences as a reader. George MacDonald had done more to me than any other writer; of course it was a pity that he had that bee in his bonnet about Christianity. He was good in spite of it. Chesterton has more sense than all the other moderns put together; bating, of course, his Christianity. Johnson was one of the few authors whom I felt I could trust utterly; curiously enough, he had the same kink. Spenser and Milton by a strange coincidence had it too. Even among ancient authors the same paradox was to be found. The most religious (Plato, Aeschylus, Virgil) were clearly those on whom I could really feed. On the other hand, those writers who did not suffer from religion and with whom in theory my sympathy ought to have been complete -- Shaw and Wells and Mill and Gibbon and Voltaire -- all seemed a little thin; what as boys we called "tinny". It wasn't that I didn't like them. They were all (especially Gibbon) entertaining; but hardly more. There seemed to be no depth in them. They were too simple. The roughness and density of life did not appear in their books.”
