Had it not been for the Dolphins, who at that time were very friendly toward mankind and especially toward Athenians, all would have perished. But the Dolphins took the shipwrecked people on their backs and swam with them to shore.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: x-large;">Now it was the custom among the Greeks to take their pet monkeys and dogs with them whenever they went on a voyage. So when one of the Dolphins saw a Monkey struggling in the water, he thought it was a man, and made the Monkey climb up on his back. Then off he swam with him toward the shore.</span></div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-KHLaei0Vqz4yFN7deTVxe7-KyedLqC1onVc0Cimp2u-B684jb9v3znt_YHib5ik2dk-P8G_Qc9IG-LDa4A1BNaGPjx-RAKnJU1ENz4rI8PONrQ3O9fmHPbYzAYJMEt4Xc04HAPLaHE31/s1600/the-monkey-and-the-dolphin-aesop-moral-story.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="The Monkey and The Dolphin - Aesop Moral Story" border="0" height="269" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-KHLaei0Vqz4yFN7deTVxe7-KyedLqC1onVc0Cimp2u-B684jb9v3znt_YHib5ik2dk-P8G_Qc9IG-LDa4A1BNaGPjx-RAKnJU1ENz4rI8PONrQ3O9fmHPbYzAYJMEt4Xc04HAPLaHE31/s1600/the-monkey-and-the-dolphin-aesop-moral-story.jpg" title="The Monkey and The Dolphin - Aesop Moral Story" width="400" /></a></div> <br /> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: x-large;">The Monkey sat up, grave and dignified, on the Dolphin’s back.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: x-large;">“You are a citizen of illustrious Athens, are you not?” asked the Dolphin politely.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: x-large;">“Yes,” answered the Monkey, proudly. “My family is one of the noblest in the city.”</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: x-large;">“Indeed,” said the Dolphin. “Then of course you often visit Piraeus.”</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: x-large;">“Yes, yes,” replied the Monkey. “Indeed, I do.
