One popular story from ancient Rome is "The Wolf and the Lamb," where a wolf accuses a lamb of disturbing the water he is drinking, even though it's physically impossible. The moral is that tyrants will always find excuses to justify their actions. Another well-known fable is "The Tortoise and the Hare," teaching the lesson that slow and steady wins the race.
