Why are Fables still important?

Who doesn't love a good story? Everyone. Telling stories is part of our human nature. Story telling allowed history and culture to be passed from generation to generation and gave people a sense of belonging to their times and society. It has been used to educate, entertain and to teach a lesson. For instance story telling is responsible for the survival of Aesop's fables for thousands of years. These fables were and still are the perfect instrument for moral education of our children, because they are short, unforgettable, and intuitive. What's more Aesop's fables present repeatable animals. They tell essential truths about human beings and their ways, so each student can have a connection to make with their lives. Fables could be used as a guiding light to mold children's attidudes and approaches in their lives, a path to implement values in their hearts and minds.
