May we prompt you? Challenge Prompt - Many of the fables attributed to Aesop were probably written by other people, but they all have the same literary style and purpose. After reading several of the fables, try your hand at writing a fable of your own, using animal characters in the starring roles and leaving a moral to be learned at the end.
