  2. Parable Parables teach moral and ethical lessons, but they only have human characters. They are set in the real world, with realistic problems and results. They often have spiritual aspects. So what would a story be that features a human interacting with a talking animal? A fable, since parables exclude unrealistic things like chatty foxes.

  4. Fable Fables are stories that feature animals, plants, or forces of nature that have been given human qualities. They teach moral and ethical lessons, like how to behave or how to treat people. Since the main characters are animals, they are a good way to introduce serious topics to children. Each animal represents a particular human fault or virtue, and what happens in the story is directly related to the animal’s personality

  5. Fable Examples • The Ant and the Grasshopper - Aesop • The Boy Who Cried Wolf - Aesop • The Fox and the Crow - Aesop  • The Lion and the Mouse - Aesop • The Tortoise and the Hare - Aesop • The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse - Aesop • Frog in a Milk Pail - Shows that the frog never gave up and eventually got out of the pail • The Story of the Butterfly - Shows that sometimes we need struggles to grow • The Crow and the Jar • The Wolf and the House Dog • The Maid and the Milk pail

  6. Fairy & Folk Tales Fairy Tales include mythical creatures, like elves, fairies, and trolls. They feature enchantments, spells, and magical items. They are meant primarily to amuse.Folk Tales are traditional stories from a particular culture. They are considered part of the history (imaginary or not) of that culture, and often they seek to explain why something is the way it is (why the seasons change, or why the leopard has spots).

  7. Fairy & Folk Tale Examples • Beauty and the Beast - Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot de Villeneuve • The Emperor's New Clothes - Hans Christian Andersen • Cinderella • Thumbelina • Snow White and Rose Red • Paul Bunyan • The Nightingale • The Seventh Sister • How the Snake Got Poison • Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves • He Lion, Bruh Bear, and Bruh Rabbit
