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.
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.

The Brothers Grimm.

I had the tortoise and the hare computer game....it was educational......well i liked it.......>.>

Aesop is educative and useful. H.C.Anderssen only wrote a bunch of bull IMO. But maybe that's just me.

aesop. Very good messages

Anderson I guess.

Dunno really, I had all kinds of story books but I can't remember the stories much. I do remember that I always felt bad for the wolf because he was always the bad guy in the stories.

i've got no idea who aesen is although i've heard of the story: the boy who cried wolf. just from cartoons though... anderson for me
