Like any dutiful son, Aesop Junior patiently listens to his dad's little fables, which are designed to teach him some important lesson about life. But even in ancient Greece, a son's got to know how to one-up his old man with a wisecrack. So when Aesop tries to explain the point of each story, junior steps in to subvert the moral with a pun. Thus, the message of "The Wolf in Sheep's Clothing" becomes "always be alert, whether awake or a sheep". And when a dog's false teeth are stolen in "The Wolf and the Hound", the lesson to Aesop Junior is "nothing dentured, nothing gained."
