A fable is a story. A wise author would write the fable to *tell a lesson.” Long ago, people wrote many fables. They wrote them to help other people learn*.
For example, the tortoise and the hare is a fable. That fable tells people it is not wise to show off. It is wise to work hard. *Most fables have animals in them. The animals talk. * Of course in real life an animal can’t talk. But in the fables they do. The animals often do foolish things. For example, in one fable there is a crow. It wants to get a delicious fruit. It takes it from a garden. And it gets it. But then as the crow soars it shows off. It opens its mouth to shout,“ Look, I got the best fruit.” But of course the crow loses the fruit. It falls out of its mouth because it opened its mouth to shout. *Fables have a moral. A moral is the lesson it teaches. *The fable about the crow makes an important point. It tells you that people should be careful. It tells you that the crow was foolish.
