Detailed explanation-1: -A fable is a short story that teaches a lesson or conveys a moral. You’ll find a lot of personified animals in fables, like talking turtles and wise spiders. Children tend to find this appealing, making the moral of the story more relevant. Fables are closely associated with fairy tales.
Detailed explanation-2: -According to our ancient sources, the fable’s use of animals primarily serves to underscore the fictionality and lightness of the stories. The risibility of the humanized animal allows the fable to make its point without boring or insulting an addressee.
