I was just wondering whether Aesop or Anderson's stories made a bigger impression on you guys when you were little, and which memory lingers more. My friend and I are having an argument on it right now and it is entering the third hour and I just thought it'd be fun to ask around here.
Aesop:
The Tortoise and the Hare
The Boy Who Cried Wolf
To name a few.
Andersen:
The Little Mermaid
The Emperor's New Clothes
The Ugly Duckling
To name a few.
I'm for Andersen because of all the Disney conversions but my friend is for Aesop as she believes that the moral lessons are taught at such a young age and adopted in so many modern T.V. shows it has more influence. Thoughts?
Aesop or Andersen?

Aesop.
I knew who he was, what he had done, and I had no clue what Anderson had done.
His lessons are still used to this day, and even in "new" stories, you can see traces of his stories.

Gone. Never really gone, but never really here.
