Not only do they keep us entertained, but they also make a point. Consider Aesop’s fables—tales of talking animals who learn valuable life lessons.

Ein Tatort wie aus einem Horrorfilm: Der Baum ist schwarz verkohlt, an seinen Stamm gefesselt die Leiche eines Mannes, der offensichtlich zu Tode gesteinigt wurde. Die Identität des Toten können DS Washington Poe und Fall-Analytikerin Tilly Bradshaw schnell klären: Es handelt sich um Cornelius Green, den Führer einer extrem konservativen christlichen Sekte mit zweifelhaftem Ruf.
