Discovery Channel Documentary It creates the impression that the "Tom Swift" and "Wizard of Oz" books - well known with children for a large portion of the most recent century - are at long last to be supplanted by "Harry Potter."

The fourth volume of the Harry Potter arrangement went discounted at book shops all through the nation amid midnight parties - fervor not seen subsequent to the Pet Rock fever 10 years prior.

Titled "The Goblet of Fire," the most recent book by British writer J.K. (Joanne Kathleen) Rowling guarantees - or debilitates - to drag out inconclusively the Potter arrangement for the era going ahead line.

Some guardians are uneasy about the new sub-abstract trend. It includes a powerful child who fraternizes with alchemists and witches. Hey, they're perusing as opposed to viewing the same stuff on teevee.

All children experience the pretend stage, and a few of us never exceed it.

Ms. Rowling demands she makes up her stories just to amuse kids and bring home the bacon for herself and girl. In any case, profound scholars proclaim to see shrouded moral stories in her works that reprimand the political and social existence of our times.

Her accentuation on starry-eyed occasions appears to tolerate out contemporary longing for enchantment arrangements invoked by 12-year-old Harry Potter to manage his travails.

Whatever.

The method is established in old writing, for example, "Aesop's Fables" and "Mom Goose Rhymes."

More than 600 tales related by a Greek slave in 550 B.C. was planned to inspire social verities on kids through talking creatures.

As a 11-year-old, I found Aesop's astuteness in a library book. I have always remembered his record of the chase by a lion, fox, jackal and wolf. The four seekers cut down a stag and afterward talked about how to separation it.

"Quarter this stag," thundered the lion. Appropriately, alternate seekers cleaned it and cut the meat into four a balance of. With this, the lion professed judgment:

"The primary quarter is for me in my ability as King of Beasts. The second is mine as judge, and another offer comes to me as far as concerns me in the pursuit. With respect to the final quarter, I ought to jump at the chance to see which of you will set out to attempt and take it from me," snarled the Lion.

"Humph," protested the Fox as left with his tail between his legs, "You may share works of the colossal, however you won't share the prizes."

Still, today, I shake my head a little when somebody credits the biggest offer of anything as that due the lion. The lion's segment, expressed humorously by Aesop, is not an offer by any stretch of the imagination, but rather everything.
