Jazz that was good but the easiest one of yours yet. :P It could be an age thing that I knew all the answers. Also there is only one famous fable teller !!!

Thanks guys, and yes Hadleigh, perhaps it is an age thing. For me as well, Aesop is easy, but I know most youngies don't know about him, or are even taught about him in schools. So for them, it'll be a tough one! My aim it to vary teasers, so some age groups will find some of my teasers difficult and vice versa. Thanks for your feedback. :D
