Demotiс Egyptian language was the state of the Egyptian language used in the New Kingdom of Egypt and Third Intermediate Period of Egypt. The formation and development of the demotic language as a separate language from the New Egyptian was strongly influenced by Aramaic and Ancient Greek.^[1]

Among the monuments of a new daily language literature, comparing to the previous stages of the Egyptian language comes fairy genre, a fable. These fables were intimately entwined with the mythology and narrated the adventures of the mythological characters of the Egyptian religion. Leiden papyrus, dating from the I-II centuries BC, contains such fables.^[2]
