Fables are stories that are
meant to teach a lesson, often
through the actions of animals
that act like people.
Literary Elements
The Moral of a fable is the lesson it
illustrates, which the reader can
apply to his or her life.
Metaphor is a type of figurative
language that compares two
different things or actions to show a
likeness between them without using
"like" or "as."
