What is true bravery and how do people demonstrate it? Part of an extensive series of audiobooks, Aesop's 81-word fable "The Wolf and the Kid" tells the story of a boy that bravely attacks an enemy wolf from afar. Paired with a graphic organizer, the explanatory writing activity has individuals examine descriptive language within the fable, which scored a 4.3 on a Flesch-Kincaid readability scale.
