A fable is a brief tale told to point a moral. The characters are frequently animals, but people and inanimate objects are sometimes central. By far the most famous fables are those accredited to Aesop, a Greek slave living about 600 B.C.; but almost equally popular are those of La Fontaine, a seventeenth-century Frenchman, because of their distinctive humor, wit and satire.
