Aesop also lived in Aesop's State, which had forests and meadows, rivers and lakes, mountains and seas. From the window of his house he watched animals young and old talking, arguing, feasting, being happy and angry. Then he would take his quill, dip it into the ink, and each time a new story would fill the paper. This is what happened to the Lion when he caught the Mouse with a piece of cheesecake in his hand. How was he treated and what did the mouse do next?
