Step-by-step explanation:
An ugly, warty frog sat on his lily pad enjoying the sunshine. Another frog hopped along and said, “wow, you are hideous! There is no way you will ever find a mate!” Just then, a beautiful princess came to the pond, scooped up the ugly frog, and planted a big kiss on his warty nose. He instantly turned into a tall, handsome prince, and walked off hand in hand with the princess as the other frog watched with his mouth wide in astonishment. Never judge a book by its cover.
This short story constitutes a fable for two key reasons: first, its main characters are anthropomorphic frogs (frogs that have been given human qualities); they have been given the ability to speak for the story. Second, the story ends with a lesson—“never judge a book by its cover”—which is relayed to the audience when the ugly frog turns into a prince.
