What
is a fable? A fable is a short tale to teach a moral lesson, often with animals or inanimate objects as characters.Fables are about animals that can talk and act like people, or plants or forces of nature like thunder or wind. The plants may be able to move and also talk and the natural forces cause things to happen in the story because of their strength.Slide4

Aesop
Was an Ancient Greek fabulist or story teller credited with a number of fables now collectively known as Aesop's Fables. Although his existence remains uncertain and (if he ever existed) no writings by him survived, numerous tales credited to him were gathered across the centuries and in many languages in a storytelling tradition that continues to this day. Many of the tales are characterized by animals and inanimate objects that speak, solve problems, and generally have human characteristics.Slide6Slide7

conclusion
It is remarkable how fables have survived so many generations and still keep seducting readers. It seems time has not
taken
away the
liking for the
fable although the
modern literary genre
is
critically
sharper
.
Fables
have been around for
centuries but
the moral lessons to be learned from them are still
relevant
to this day. Slide10
