A fable is a type of story which shows something in life or has a meaning to a word. A fable is a funny story but may teach a lesson or suggest a moral from it. A fable starts in the middle of the story, that means, jumps into the main event without detailed introduction of characters. The characters of a fable may be people, animals, legendary creatures, gods, or anything else. When animals and objects are used in fables, they think and talk like people, even though they act like animals or objects. For example, in a fable, a clay pot might say that it is frightened of being broken.

These colorful stories from the Panchatantra have spread all over the world for centuries, especially as bedtime stories for kids.The surviving work is dated to about 300 BCE, but the fables are likely much more ancient. The text's author is unknown, but has been attributed to Vishnu Sharma in some recension and Vasubhaga in others, both of which may be fictitious pen names.
