Your Real Champion®: Aesop’s Fables – “You Can’t Please Everyone”

In ancient Greece there lived a man named Aesop who wrote over 700 fables—short stories that illustrate a particular moral and teach a lesson to children. The fable called “The Man, the Boy, and the Donkey” offers a timeless message that reminds children not to respond to the pressure of bullying in an attempt to “fit in.”

Each week, we highlight the Real Champions in your life! Your family, friends, or colleagues who go the extra mile to help others in their community.
