These are a special type of stories called fables.
A fable is a short story, usually with animals or objects as the characters, that has a lesson or a “moral” in the story’s meaning.
Most fables are so old that we don’t know for sure who first created these stories, but we think that many of them were told by someone named Aesop.
Aesop lived so long ago that we don’t know much about him, but apparently he was a slave who lived in ancient Greece or Turkey who had a brilliant mind and a special gift for telling stories.
This week, we’ll be learning to sing a song called “The Moral of the Story” about Aesop and a few of his famous Fables.
Use this video to learn how to sing the song. Can you learn how to sing along with the video? Try watching just a small part at a time and repeating it over and over, using both your ears and your eyes to learn the words:
