The fable The Raven and the Fox, originally attributed to the Greek fabulist Aesop, was taken up by Jean de La Fontaine and first published in 1668 in his first collection entitled "Fables choisis, mis en vers". The raven, by losing his cheese because of the fox's compliments, reminds us of the importance of not being led astray by praise that could hide manipulative intentions. By developing their critical thinking, children learn to evaluate compliments with discernment and to recognize the intentions behind the words. In this way, the fable encourages a thoughtful approach in our interactions.
