    The reason I’ve quoted another passage is to highlight language which could, to a modern reader, be interpreted very differently.

    None of this detracts from your point that like Aesop’s fables or Sesame Street, these stories can have life lessons.

    I also included a link to the Wikipedia article and some of the major themes in the book. Again, this is down to interpretation.
