«El Asno y el Lobo» is the classic fable attributed to Esopo in the version by Juan Vernet, published by Editorial Bruño in Spanish.
The story draws on the classic fable of the encounter between a donkey and a wolf. What begins as a coincidence leads to a series of mishaps that show how cunning can prevail over brute force. Juan Vernet's version brings this moral tale closer to child and teenage readers.

Intended for young readers who are starting out with classic fables and looking for short stories with a moral.
