The Moon and Her Mother
The moon once begged her mother to make her a gown. “How can I?” replied she; “there’s no fitting your figure. At one time you’re a new moon, and at another you’re a full moon; and between whiles you’re neither one nor the other.”
From the internet:
The moral of this story is that those who constantly change never get what they truly desire. You have to be consistent and single-minded to achieve your goals.
Thanks for that … I thought the moral was that some mothers are just sour pusses.
Haha! That could be the second moral ! 
Is this by Aesop Rock?
No, This is from Aesop’s Fables … old stories with morals. They usually involve animals learning a lesson.
I bought a new book of them recently and decided to add to my hopeful quote of the day. But when I got home from the store I realised I already had a book of Aesop’s Fables.
Lol yeah didn’t think so. Didn’t seem like him but I know you like him so you never know 
Good memory JJ! He is my favourite.
Lol I didn’t know he was your favorite but how could I forget??? I remember everything, especially things like this 
Maybe the moral is don’t trust single-minded sourpusses. @everhopeful @anon84763962
Oh man. Now we have 3 morals! 
Well it’s better to have three morals than no morals!!!
