Hercules and the Wagoner is an Aesop fable which like many of these fables is very short. This one is about a paragraph long and is about a Wagoner that asks Hercules for help and is told that he must help himself. I had never heard of this fable before, and found it on a website that was full of different fairy tales and Aesop fables.
I give this Aesop Fable two horses out of five horses. I have read a lot better fables before and I don't think that this one is a bit out of date. The message of helping yourself is still there, but many children wouldn't know what a wagoner was or understand the idea of praying to Greek Gods. But I did think this one was a bit different.
