Question

Which statements describe elements or characteristics of a typical fable

Answer 1

Answer: Fiction, short story, few characters, lesson/moral at the end

Explanation: These are the characteristics of a basic fable. A fictitious story takes place in any setting, usually with a hero and villain. The ending of the story is usually meant to convey a moral lesson about life.

Example: The tortoise and the hare, few characters, no heavy plot/backstory, lesson of "slow and steady wins the race"

The Boy who cried wolf, 1-3 characters, simple plot, moral lesson of "Don't lie because you'll lose trust"

Answer 2

- A fable is a literary work of fiction where non-human entities such as animals, natural elements, plants and even fantastic creatures or mythological beings speak the human language and evolve in situations in which their choices result in a consequence that may be negative or positive and which includes a moral lesson for the reader.
