What is a Fable?
The Fable's flourished in the Middle Ages, normaly they featur animals that behave and speak as human beings. A fable always ends with a ‘moral’. This is the lesson that is intended to be learnt through reading the story.
Fables are also tales of fantastic imagination, as they may feature legendary mythic creatures and beasts. Some of the earliest fables travelled down generations through the tradition of oral storytelling and often featured elements of fairy tales and folktales, as they were inspired by specific cultures in certain regions.
Krishna Dharma's Panchatantra (2004) is based on folk tales and fables from the Indian culture dating back to 200 BCE. Stuart Little, Horton Hears a Who! The Lion And The Mouse are really popular, but there are people who said that the most famous fable is The Hare And The Tortoise.
Normaly this kind of stories are short and simples and they teach that the morally good character is rewarded, while the morally bad character is punished.
