Stories & Fables

[stanwilcock]

What are the main differences between a basic story and a fable with an example of using honesty as a moral. Thanks.

well theres's the one about the person who turned blue because they didn't do their own assignments.....

[Peter Pedant]

In the early21st century there was a stag and a woodcock. The stag did not like doing his homework,whereas the woodcock was at it day and night, and often studied as well......

Stan this is the begining of a fable, the two protagonists being based on your name as I wanted to motivate you.

 

The subjects of the story are always animals (not so in a basic story)

the animals can show their own characteristics or human characteristics

there is a moral in the end - in this case for example the stag could find out that study is fun and valuable

or two morals - the wood **** cd find out that study is not the only thing.

All thse things are necessary in fable and not necessary or even absent in a basicstory.

 

Note in 1962 we were invited to write a fable but no -one told us what it was and we all wrote cr*p.
