问题     A fable is an animal tale that teaches a lesson. Fables tell important truths about the way people act. Some writers of fables give the lessons at the end of the story. " Look before you leap, " " Don’ t count your chickens before they’ re hatched," and many other sayings are the lessons of old fables.
    There have not been many writers of fables, but the works of a few are very well-known. One of the men was a Greek slave named Aesop.
    Aesop was probably born in about 620 BC in the ancient Asian country of Phrygia. A rich Greek named Iadmon bought Aesop and made him a household slave.
    Aesop had no education, but he knew a great deal about people and the way they behaved. While he was in the household of Iadmon he had a chance to see and hear many of the important people of Greek society and politics. Soon Aesop began to tell stories, wonderful tales about animals who spoke and acted just as the Greeks did.
    Iadmon loved the stories Aesop told. He began to take his slave to the homes of other important men where Aesop told new animal tales, always with a lesson at the end. Later Iadmon freed him. Aesop spent most of his life going from one home to another, telling his stories at great dinner parties and at other gatherings of the important men of Greece.
    Finally the Emperor Croesus heard about Aesop and ordered him to serve him. For many years Aesop lived there and told his stories. Often the fables were about the court, or they expressed ideas of how men in high places should act.
    There are different accounts of Aesop’ s death. One says that he was put to death for stealing a gold cup from the temple of Apollo. Another tells of his offending some people who threw him off a cliff.
    Whether a man named Aesop really lived is not important. What does matter is that someone gave us a great many fables.

选项 A、was a scholar
