Dear friends,

This is the beginning of a new series. If you show some response to indicate you like them , they will continue. If there are not enough readers and little response they will not continue.

There are three kinds of writing that often seem to be a lot alike, however,

they are really quite different from each other. These are: the Tale, the Parable, and the Fable.

The Tale: This is a story that is either true, or created by the

imagination. It isn't necessarily intended to teach a

moral lesson.

The Parable: is purposely designed to convey a hidden and secret meaning.

The meaning is not the same as the words themselves convey.

The meaning may not be meant to apply to the reader's life or

times.

The Fable: It has things in common with both the above, yet it is

partly different from both of them. It is a short, real

story. Like the parable it is designed to give a hidden

meaning, but not through the special use of language like the

parable, but by the careful introduction of fictional

characters.

A Fable is always instructive. It seeks to teach some moral

maxim, social duty, or political truth.

The greatest Fables always aim for one great end, and

that is to show human motive, and to improve human conduct.

This purpose is disguised by giving birds, trees, and beasts

of forests and meadows the ability to talk. In this way

advice can be received without the hearer or reader

feeling the presence of a superior advisor. By keeping the

adviser out of view there is greater acceptance and

listeners feel their hearts drawn to what is pure, honourable

and praiseworthy, and feel their indignation aroused against

what is low, ignoble and unworthy.

In Fables the Fox is always cunning. The Hare is timid, the Lion bold, the Wolf

cruel, the Bull strong, the Horse proud and the Ass patient.

Continued in FABLES 2.
