How were the fables of classical authors such as Aesop and La Fontaine undergoing modifications and adaptations over time until they become a moralizing model for children in didactic manuals from the 19th century? This study aims to analyze this process of adaptation of the fable to didactic purposes and reflect on the work of Rudyard Kipling: ‘The Elephant’s Child”, as a way of thinking about the child’s tensions before the unknown and the relations of authority and authoritarianism that exist in the adult world.
