Petits ou grands, nous avons tous en tête des fables de La Fontaine : "Le corbeau et le renard", "La cigale et la fourmi", "La grenouille qui veut se faire aussi grosse que le bœuf", "Le chêne et le roseau", "Le lièvre et la tortue", "La poule aux œufs d'or" et tant d'autres. Chacune de ces fables est une petite histoire, avec des mots simples, et contient des vérités qui servent de leçons. Il y a un peu de nous, un peu des autres, un peu de tous, dans chacune des fables. Comme le dit si bien l'auteur, Jean de La Fontaine, "tout parle en mon ouvrage, et même les poissons, ce qu'ils disent s'adresse à tous tant que nous sommes ; je me sers d'animaux pour instruire les hommes".
