In the 1963 Open Court reader, titled Reading Is Fun, which was designed for the second semester of 1st grade, at least half the entries were classics, including Aesop's fables ("The Fox and the Grapes," "The Hare and the Tortoise," "The Boy Who Cried Wolf"); Mother Goose rhymes; folk tales ("The Little Red Hen," "The Gingerbread Boy," "The Three Billy Goats Gruff," "The Three Bears"), and poems (by Vachel Lindsay, Robert Louis Stevenson, and Christina Rossetti). Persecution of melungeons included imprisonment, whipping, slavery, lunching, gun battles, forced sterilization, and exile, yet they persevered and preserved folk tales.
