Hai sobat, hari ini kita akan berdiskusi tentang Fable. Apa itu Fable?

Fabel adalah cerita yang menceritakan tentang kehidupan para binatang yang bertingkah laku seperti manusia. Fabel adalah karangan fiksi atau fantasi (imajinatif). Terkadang fabel memilih karakter minoritas dalam bentuk manusia. Fabel juga sering disebut cerita yang mengandung moral karena memiliki pesan-pesan yang berkaitan dengan moralitas. Para karakter dalam cerita fabel adalah semua binatang. Hewan diberitahu bahwa mereka memiliki alasan, perilaku, dan bahwa mereka dapat berbicara layaknya manusia.

Once upon a time, there was a wolf and a lion who lived in a forest. One evening, the wolf emerged from his den in good spirits and with a ravenous appetite. The wolf appeared much larger than he actually was as the sinking sun projected his shadow far out on the ground.

“Look at how huge I am,” the wolf boasted, “Imagine me escaping from the weak lion! I should be made the king of the forest. I am a hundred times more powerful than the lion in his own shadow.”

The wolf took satisfaction in the fact that he was no lower than the mighty lion. While the wolf was lost in his thoughts, he was suddenly completely obscured by a huge shadow in front of him. The lion instantly killed the wolf with a single strike.

In the midst of the wolf’s arrogant thoughts, the lion attacked and killed him. The wolf was too lost in his own inflated self-worth, which ultimately led to his demise.
