Aesopish

The Lucky One (1919) came to the stage several years later and was somewhat more serious in tone, being a character study of two brothers, one brilliant, one dull; of course, the tortoise won the race for the hand of the girl they both wanted in typically Æsopish fashion.

I am feeling a little Aesopish today and hence this story.

It sounds rather Aesopish. Talking snakes, one bad apple ruining it all. I'm not so sure.
