Sesame Stories is a collection of five Sesame Street stories. A few of the stories are variants of Aesop's Fables (or similar folktales often falsely attributed to Aesop: "The Monster in the Mirror" reworks "The Dog and Its Reflection," and "Don't Count Your Pigeons" reworks "The Milkmaid and Her Pail" (and especially the moral, first attached in Aesop in Rhyme from 1820, about counting chickens before they hatch).
