Our first class started at 4pm with the study on modern literary fiction. Miss Dzeelfa thought us about fable and tale; the similarities and differences between them. Now, I knew what makes fable differs from tale. In fable, it involves animals who act and talk. It illustrates particular moral to teach lesson to children. Example of fable is the race between two animals, I do not remember which animal that compete with snail in this fable but I did remembered the moral of the story, “Slow and steady wins the race.” This type of story serves as a great entertainment for children.
Tale, on the other hand, is usually less realistic and more romantic. Example of tales are Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Rapunzel and the Frog Prince. Both fable and tale are handed down from generation to generation. Miss Dzeelfa also explained the functions of fable and tale in our society. It is a good way to instil moral values in interesting and appealing manner. It also promotes reading habits in children. After we heard explanation from her, our class ended.
