A fable is a fictional story about animals, plants, forces of nature, etc. It always has a moral lesson. What’s a moral? A moral teaches about right and wrong, and good and bad. 寓言早在我国春秋战国时代就已经盛行。当时一些思想家把寓言当成辩论的手段。为了在政治主张上战胜对方，为了阐明自已的观点，互相责难，辩论，往往取材于古代神话、传说、民间故事或谚语。通过艺术加工，用鲜明生动的抽象的代替议论进行激烈的争辨斗争。 世界各国的寓言作品也很多。世界最早的寓言集是《伊索寓言》，其它比较著名的寓言集或寓言较集中的作品有《克雷洛夫寓言》、《列那狐的故事》《百喻经》《拉封丹寓言》 等。 Do you like reading fables?
