Aesop's fables?

Says Pearl to Pickle, "Why are we still here in Greece?", Says Pickle tp Pearl, "I have heard it said that the 'Greeks have a word for it', and I want to find out what "IT" is that Greeks have a word for". Says Pearl to Pickle "Forget 'IT', what have we got for the non-paying customers in this issue?" Says Pickle to Pearl, "This is a drawing at the bottom of an old Greek cup of a fabulist, Aesop, talking to a fox. The legend is that Aesop was a slave who wrote the fables but modern scholars doubt that Aesop ever was and never existed, so put that in your Aesop and fable it.
