A story that features animals, inanimate objects, or forces of nature that are humanized

Real World Example

In ancient Greece, fables were short stories that taught moral lessons, often using animals that spoke and acted like humans. A famous Greek storyteller, Aesop, wrote many fables that helped people think about right and wrong in a simple and engaging way. These stories were important because they made complex ideas about human behavior easy to understand and discuss, especially for those who couldn't read. Today, fables are still relevant as they teach important life lessons in a fun way, like the importance of honesty or the value of hard work. For example, the fable of "The Tortoise and the Hare" reminds us that slow and steady effort can lead to success, which can encourage perseverance in school or personal projects.
