The Lorax Dr. Seuss (Dr. Theodore S. Geisel) Fable
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For other uses of the term or its plural, see Fable (disambiguation).
A fable is a brief, succinct story, in prose or verse, that features animals, plants, inanimate objects, or forces of nature which are anthropomorphized (given human qualities), and that illustrates a moral lesson (a "moral"), which may at the end be expressed explicitly in a pithy maxim.
(A fable differs from a parable in that the latter excludes animals, plants, inanimate objects, and forces of nature as actors that assume speech and other powers of mankind.)
