What is a fable?
A fable refers to a short text in which mostly animals play the main characters. They get into a conflict, the resolution of which conveys an instructive message for us. Here you can learn more about these texts.
Fables are always very short but their teaching is significant. Instead of human figures, fabulous animals or creatures always appear in the stories. However, these embody human characteristics, because they think and they act like us.
In most fables, the animals fight or there is a conflict. In the end, either the stronger or the smarter one wins. The most important element is the instructive moral at the end. Every fable should teach us something. But we have to find that out for ourselves, because it is hidden between the lines.
