Cat Meme Source:  Cheezburger For this weeks tech tip I chose to make a LOLcat at Cheezburger . This website allows you to make a meme out of a huge selection of animal pictures. You can make a meme about anything your heart desires and it super easy. All you do it choose a picture, type what you want to be on top, the middle, or in the bottom, and that's it! You can even have the font be different sizes and colors. I made a Christmas cat meme since Thanksgiving just ended!

Grass hopper talking to ants Source:  Un-Textbook For this extra credit reading on Aesop's Fables, I will be focusing on the story "Insects, Fishes, and Frogs" by Sir Brooke Boothby. In this story there are eight different miniature stories. The first story is "The Ant and he Grasshopper" and in this story a grasshopper asked for food from an ant but the ant refused and mocked the grasshopper for singing and dancing in the summer and not working. The next story is "The Gnat and the Ox" and in this story is about a gnat sitting on an ox who thinks his weight is tiring the ox out.

A bird wearing peacock feathers Source:  Un-Textbook For the second part of reading Aesop's fables, I will be focusing on the story Birds from the story source "The Fables of Phaedrus" translated by Christopher Smart. This story is also multiple stories in one but instead of a donkey like in my first reading notes, this one is about a bird. The first story is called "The Vain Jackdraw" and in this story a Daw picked up quills of a Juno's bird and tried to wear them around other peacocks.

The doves are usually able to avoid the hawk due to their quickness at flight but the hawk was able to trick the doves and start to prey on them. The last story is "The Cock and the Pearl" which is about a rooster who stumbl...

This writing is actually made up of multiple stories in one all about a donkey. Each small story within this all are unrelated to each other. The first story is called "The Ass and the Lion skin" and is about a donkey who finds a lion skin and decides to wear it. The donkey went around pretending to be a lion scaring other animals. Eventually the donkey went to his master home and tried to scare him but the master saw right through the disguise. The second story is "The Ass, The Ape, and the Mole" and in this story the donkey and a ape complain about how he wants a horn and the ape complains about his short tale, but a mole puts them both to shame when he tells them that they are lucky they weren't...
