Fable
A fable is a short story or folk tale with a moral at the end. It often, but not necessarily, makes metaphorical use of an animal as its central character. In some cases usage of the term has been extended to include stories with mythical or legendary elements. An author of fables is a fabulist. The word fabulous strictly means pertaining to fables, although in recent decades its metaphorical meanings have been taken literally.
BI-3
Aesop
Aesop (from the Greek Aisopos), famous for his Fables, is supposed to have lived from about 620 to 560 . Aesop’s fables are still taught as moral lessons and used as subjects for various entertainments, especially children’s plays and cartoons.
Other fables by Aesop include: “The Lion and the Mouse”, “The Ant and the Grasshopper”, “The Fox and the Goat”, “The Fox and the Crane (or Crow) ”, “The Fox and the Grapes”, “The Dog and the Bone”, “The Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing”, “The Boy who Cried Wolf”, “The Hen (or Goose) that Laid the Golden Eggs”, “The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse”, “The North Wind and the Sun”, “The Ass in the Lion’s Skin”, “The Lion and the Mouse”, and “The Old Man and Death”.
