This week’s rough draft You are going to write your own fable. Remember a fable is a story with animal characters that teaches a moral.
This week’s rough draft You will need to take your prewrite as a guide for your paper. The story should go with your moral.
This week’s rough draft As you write, think of the many examples of fables we’ve read and how they lead to the moral at the end.
This week’s rough draft Use your creativity and originality to create your story. It should have at least 10 sentences.
Remember: Fables are stories that usually have animal characters and teach a moral or lesson at the end of the story. Aesop was a Greek slave who wrote many fables.
The Fawn and His Mother A YOUNG FAWN once said to his Mother, "You are larger than a dog, and swifter, and more used to running, and you have your horns as a defense; why, then, O Mother! do the hounds frighten you so?"
She smiled, and said: "I know full Well, my son, that all you say is true. I have the advantages you mention, but when I hear even the bark of a single dog I feel ready to faint, and fly away as fast as I can."
Moral: No arguments will give courage to the coward
In other words, if you do not have a brave heart, words alone cannot give you courage.
The Fox and the Crow A CROW having stolen a bit of meat, perched in a tree and held it in her beak. A Fox, seeing this, longed to possess the meat himself, and by a wily stratagem succeeded.
"How handsome is the Crow," he exclaimed, in the beauty of her shape and in the fairness of her complexion! Oh, if her voice were only equal to her beauty, she would deservedly be considered the Queen of Birds!"
This he said deceitfully; but the Crow, anxious to refute the reflection cast upon her voice, set up a loud caw and dropped the flesh. The Fox quickly picked it up, and thus addressed the Crow: "My good Crow, your voice is right enough, but your wit is wanting."
Moral: Flatters are not to be trusted.
In other words, a person who has too many nice things to say may have secret reasons for saying them
Answer these questions on the fables? Which fable did you like best? Why? Your answer is an opinion, so there are many right answers.
