The Old Man, his Son and the Ass. Pen and ink. An illustrated story from Aesop’s fables that stuck out to me as not only as humorous but made good sense. The moral of the story was summed up to this: If you try to please all, you will end up pleasing none. Read the actual story here: http://ancienthistory.about.com/library/bl/bl_aesop_miller_son_ass.htm Sorry, for the blurry photo. I have it scanned, but my computer apparently gets heartburn trying to digest the pieces in order to put it together.
