Fables are short stories featuring animals, plants, or inanimate objects that take on human traits and behaviors to teach a moral lesson. Common sources of fables include Aesop, whose skill in crafting fables led to his freedom, and Buddhist Jataka tales about the reincarnation of the Buddha. Fables provide enjoyment for both children and adults while ethically teaching lessons in an engaging way that cultivates thinking and imagination.
