Fables for Kids | What makes a story a fable?

Do you recognize the story, The Tortoise and the Hare? This story is called a fable. In Fables for Kids, you will learn about this unique type of story and the elements that must be included. Can you think of any of those elements off the top of your head? All fables have five specific characteristics. They must be fictional, meaning that it is an imaginary story. Generally, these stories are fairly short. The element you probably knew already is that fables teach a moral lesson. "Slow and steady wins the race," for example, is the lesson we learn from The Tortoise and the Hare. In all fables, the main characters are always animals that act like humans. Finally, the setting of a fable is always outside. Where did fables come from? Aesop, a slave of African decent who lived in ancient Greece, had a collection of fables that we now call Aesop's fables. Historians are still unsure whether he wrote all the stories himself or simply gathered them from other sources. Even though he lived a long time ago, his stories were passed down to the present day!
