Some interesting differences between Babrius and Aesop: Aesop Fables - goshawk fall into a can full of meat and get drown after fulfill its stomach - when death comes too abruptly, people are more likely to understand. Babrius Fables - mouse fall into congee and get drown after fulfill its stomach - people sometimes fetch disaster when covet for delicious food. In Aesop Fables there are also passages about greed, so what changed?
