A fable is a short story with animals as characters, designed to teach a moral lesson. They have been popular since ancient times and can be found in many different cultures throughout history. Fables often feature talking animals, such as wolves, pigs, rabbits, hens, dogs, cats, sparrows, owls, crows, and monkeys. Some of these stories may seem familiar because they've become part of our common culture, like Aesop's Fables, which were first written down by the Greek writer Aesop around 600 BC.
