A fable is a very short story which explains to us a point of view or teaches us a lesson. Usually, fables are stories about animals that talk like people. Frogs are often the main characters. And of course, there are also many other animals playing a very important role in fables. (1)From these short stories, people may find a better way todeal with their problems, or a positive(积极的) attitude towards their lives. Many common sayings come from Aesops Fables(伊 索寓言), such as “Dont count your chickens until theyare hatched”, “Honesty is the best policy”, “Look before you leap” and so on. These are familiar examples. Aesop is believed to have been a Greek slave who made up these stories to make his life easier. (2)Nobody is really sure that Aesop made up these fables himself. What is certain, however, is that the stories called Aesops Fables are so wonderful that they have been told overand over again for thousands of years.根据短文内容回答下列问题。51. What is a fable?_52.
