Have you ever heard a Chicken or Hen say anything but “cluck”? Me neither. But in this story, all the animals speak English. These types of stories are called “fables”. In this story, it does not say that it is a fable, but stories with a lesson at the end and have talking animals are considered fables so we are calling it a fable.

One of the oldest forms of literature is the fable. Aesop, the recognized Greek master of the form, is credited with redefining the genre (“Aesop’s Fables”).

Aesop’s Fables Introduction: I already know a good amount about the Aesop’s fables before doing any real research. Almost everyone as a child was introduced to the stories such as “the boy who cried wolf” or “the tortoise and the hare”. As a child many adults would read these stories to me because they have a very strong moral. It can guide children to do the right thing when they are in doubts.

Introduction: I chose to research the genre of fables, specifically Aesop’s fables. I only informed of the basics of fables. To be frank with you I don’t even think there is much to know about fables. What is there to know? They contain lessons, animals, and they are short. From time to time people use them in their quotidian day to back up their opinions. Especially authority figures like parents, teachers, and, well I can just think of those two.
