“You hold no truth, Aharon! You just envy what they have!”
“No I am—”
“Leave, now”

As a result, many of the tales told in similar time periods contain the same morals and societies rules and beliefs.…

    Animals often play significant roles in literature despite their appearance of being in trivial positions; the employment of animals is seen throughout many of Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales.
