Question

Write a three- to five-sentence paragraph in which you apply the moral to your own life. If you would like to, you may write your story as a fable.

Answer 1

Answer:

Because the moral is the center of a fable, it’s often helpful to begin outlining your fable by determining the moral. The moral of a fable should relate to or reflect on a culturally pertinent issue that will resonate with many people.

Some examples of famous fable morals to help inspire you include:

"Like will draw like."

"The greatest kindness will not bind the ungrateful."

"Advice prompted by selfishness should not be heeded."

"Fine feathers don't make fine birds."

"Strangers should avoid those who quarrel among themselves."[2]
