2012 Trapped in Aesop's Fables. A fully dramatized Audio Book. Lifehouse theater On-the-Air. Executive Producer Wayne Scott. InspiredInspirations Media. Unknown source.

Twelve-year-old Henry, freshly chastised by his father as he brings home an old chest, finds the chest opening and beckoning to him. The chest offers books with a quest. Of course Henry opens one of the mysterious books and meets Aesop in a time warp. Aesop challenges him to figure out the life lessons from five stories, and then he can escape. Soon Henry has six legs and learns that he is a grasshopper and has to transition from easy summer to hungry winter. Henry is dying and finds no life lesson to learn. He fails his first test, and Aesop has to explain it to him. I left Henry as a hare in the second story running like crazy.
