What does FABLE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A short story, often featuring animals as characters, that teaches a moral lesson.
Fables such as Aesop's stories about the tortoise and the hare use simple plots and talking animals to make an abstract lesson easy to remember and pass on. Unlike a fairy tale, a fable almost always ends by stating its moral directly, spelling out the point of the story rather than leaving it implied. The word is also used more loosely for any invented or untrue story, as when someone dismisses a claim as a mere fable.
How FABLE is used
Used both for the traditional short moral tale and, more loosely, for any story regarded as untrue or invented.
- The teacher read the class a fable about a fox and a crow.
- Aesop's fables still appear in children's books around the world.
- Each fable ended with a short moral summing up its lesson.
- He dismissed the rumor as a fable with no basis in fact.
- The animated film reimagined an old fable for modern audiences.
