Aesop's Fables are short stories which have a very definitive meaning. Only constructed from one or maybe two paragraphs each one is based around an event which teaches the reader a certain moral. There are 655+ fables, each teaching you morals like "United we stand, divided we fall" and "Look before you leap". You may remember one of the most famous fables named "The hare and the tortoise" with the moral of "Slow and steady wins the race". These short stories are apparently almost as old as the Olympics, still holding values and meanings which we still very much believe and understand today.
There is also the "Boy Who cried wolf" and "The ant and the grasshopper" which are also some of the most well known fables ever written. They were wrote by a slave in Greece between 580-620BC, these Beast Fables are called such as all the stories characters consist of animals.
