Not all of Aesop's stories or fables used animals instead of people. Animals are commonly used in fables so that people could read the story, enjoy it, and learn from it without envisioning themselves or someone else in the roles. This was a non threatening strategy to teach lessons without making the reader fearful of bad people.
