Fables
A fable is a very short
story which is meant to illustrate a
point or teach us a lesson. Usually, but
not always, fables are stories about
animals that talk like people. The
lesson that a fable teaches us is called
a moral.
A parable means something similar. It is
usually short fictitious story that
illustrates a moral attitude or a
religious principle.

M any
common sayings come from Aesop's Fables:
Don't count your chickens before they
hatch, and Honesty is the best policy,
and Look before you leap are familiar
examples. Aesop is believed to have been
a Greek slave who made up these stories
to make his life easier. Nobody is
really sure if Aesop made up these
fables. What is certain, however, is
that the stories called Aesop's Fables
are so wonderful that they have been
told over and over again for thousands
of years.
