Presentation transcript:

A fable is a short story, often with animal characters, intended to teach a moral lesson.

Fables were told orally over the years. People retold them to each other. Fables were finally written down in 300 B.C.

Fables have been around for a long time. Many people have written or told them. The most famous person who wrote fables was Aesop. He was a Greek slave, who lived around 600 B.C.

Aesop told stories to amuse his friends. His stories were called fables. Most of the stories had animal characters in them. The animals acted like humans. Each fable ended with a moral. A moral is a lesson to be learned from the story.
