Fables

Fables are short stories that typically feature animals as characters and convey a moral lesson or ethical teaching. They often illustrate human behaviors and consequences in a simple, engaging way. The most famous fables are attributed to Aesop, an ancient Greek storyteller. Each story usually ends with a clear moral message, such as "slow and steady wins the race" or "don’t count your chickens before they hatch." Fables have been used across cultures as educational tools to impart wisdom and values, making them relevant and enduring across generations.
