May I offer comments?
2. deaf..................เป็นใบ้??? deaf = หูหนวก, ไม่ได้ยิน [dumb = พูดไม่ได้]
1. What is Aesop? [Aesop (เอ สฟ ay-sop หรือ อี สฟ ee-sop -- ดู wikipedia) was a person, possibly lived 620-564 BCE. The question should be more appropriately "Who was Aesop? Even a slave is 'not a thing'. ]
There are a number of typographical errors (see below) in the document (given to download) beside an uncommon narrative style using the 'present' tense to tell a story in the past
His first master is a large land- owner. [a large land owner]
So Aesop is put to work in the fields in over [order] to keep out of his master’s sight.
He orders to his butter [orders his butler], Agathopus...
...to postpone his punishment to give him 'the time' [time] to prove his innocence.
Aesop fetchs some tepid water drinks it in his master’s presense [presence]...
... with the result that he throw [throws] up only water...
The master then realizes that Aesop’s accuses [accusers] must have eaten the figs themselves.
He orders them to he [be] doubly punished, 'both for' [for] their greed and malice.

เรียนให้ทราบ เบื้องต้นว่า ใช้สอน ป.4 คิดอยู่อย่างเดียวว่า ต้องการให้ง่าย ไม่ซับซ้อน จุดประสงค์ ข้อแรก คือ ฝึกให้มีอุปนิสัย รักการอ่าน พอดี ไหนๆๆทำแล้ว ก็เลยไปถึง การถามคำถามขึ้นมา เลยเกร็งๆๆกับ การใช้เวลา แต่เขาใจเองว่า อะไรที่เป็น จริง ก็อาจใช้ present simple ได้
deaf กับ dumb ผิดจริงๆๆค่ะ
ส่วนรายละเอียดอื่นๆๆ ได้เลียนแบบคำเดิมออกมา ไม่กล้าเปลี่ยนแปลงเขาค่ะ เช่น throw มาแบบนี้ จริงๆๆค่ะ
ได้ความรู้มากจริงๆๆค่ะ
ขอบคุณมากค่ะ
I would suggest a review of that 'original story'.
Surely, we don not want to propagate 'errors'.
We can see how a computer error (or virus) starts from one place and spreads out to many.
We should do what we can to correct the situation and ensure the quality of our knowledge.
If the material cannot be corrected, then I suggest we do not use such material.
However, you do things. Most people sit and watch.
I will support you when I can.
ขอบคุณมากค่ะ ท่าน sr
Here is an example of the text of Aesop and the Figs. We believe it tells the story in a clear and grammatically correct way. ;-)
Aesop And The Figs (Edited text with input from Kasima Rathmanus)
Aesop is a slave. His master is a large land owner. Aesop works in the field. His master believes that Aesop can’t do anything else. Moreover, Aesop looks ugly and misshapen. So Aesop is put to work in the fields in order to keep out of his master’s sight.
One day, the master visits his land. A peasant brings him some figs. They are so delicious. He orders his butler, Agathopus to keep the figs carefully and bring them to him after his bath.
Aesop comes up to the house. Agathopus seizes the opportunity to eat the figs and then blames Aesop for it. He thinks that Aesop is unable to clear his name. The master is so angry he orders Aesop to be punished at once.
Aesop is very frightened indeed. He throws himself at his master’s feet and begs him to postpone his punishment, to give him time to prove his innocence.
Aesop fetches some tepid water and drinks it in his master’s presence. He puts fingers down his throat and he throws up only water.
Agathopus and his friends do the same, but they throw up the figs in their stomach. The master then realizes that Aesop’s accusers must have eaten the figs themselves. He orders them to be punished, for their greed and malice.
Notes:
- a slave = a person who is held to serve another person
- misshapen = (adjective) deformed or not well shaped
- a butler = a male servant usually in charge of a household
- a housekeeper is a female servant
- to seize = to grab by force or by intention
- to clear one's name = to prove one's innocence
- to give someone time = to let someone have time to do something
- to throw oneself = to drop
- to throw up = to vomit
- an accuser = a person who accuse someone else of wrong doing
- greed = excessive or eager desire or longing
- malice = wicked or mischievous intention

My apologies!
In my haste, I did not look at the copy of the original text but pasted in after the edited text.
It was incorrect. So, here is the text of the original document:
