Fables are like little stories that teach big lessons. They have animals or people who do things, and then they learn something important at the end, like how hard work pays off or why it's good to be kind. People use them in school because they're fun and easy to remember.
Examples
- A child hears The Ant and the Grasshopper and learns to save for winter.
- A teacher uses The Lion and the Mouse to show that kindness can help in unexpected ways.
- Kids laugh at The Boy Who Cried Wolf and remember not to lie too much.
