A Brief Introduction to Fable
• The term fable refers to a short story in which animals or inanimate objects speak and behave like humans, usually to give a moral point. The term comes from the Latin fabula, “a telling.”
• The greatest teller of fables was Aesop. He was believed to be a Greek slave who lived in the 6th century B.C. Another great teller of fables was Jean de La Fontaine. He wrote in France in the 17th century. La Fontaine based many of his fables on those of Aesop.

With the money she earned, she would buy fine clothes for herself. “ I’ll buy a new dress, and when I go to the ball, all the young men will dance with me!” As she spoke she tossed her head back. The pail immediately fell off her head, and all the milk was spilt. The girl went back without anything. She felt very sad. "ah, my child," said her mother. “Do not count your chickens before they are hatched."
