Fables and legends are from a different source. Fables are made up to express a point or moral. Legends have origins that may or may not have been true but are usually embellishments of the truth to emphasize the meaning of the story. So the answer to fables is no. Legends? Maybe.

Exposure to fables can sometimes lead children to believe in unrealistic or fantastical scenarios, which may blur the lines between fiction and reality. Additionally, some fables contain moral lessons that may be oversimplified or not entirely applicable to real-life situations, potentially leading to confusion or misunderstandings. It's important for adults to help children understand the difference between fiction and reality and to provide context for the moral lessons presented in fables.
• Fables teach a lesson that people can relate to, connecting to culture, etc and have been passed down from generation to generation. • Fables may contain animals, plants, etc as the characters, and these characters may be able to speak or have features which no real animal has. • Fables are fiction and also short stories.
A Fable is just another word for 'story'. Usually when we talk about 'Fables' we mean 'a story with some kind of a moral lesson'. Aesop's Fables are typical Fables; and a story such as The Dog and the Bone has an obvious lesson to teach. Quite often Fables will have some element of magic or fantasy; and almost as often a Fable will have animals who can talk and think like humans as main characters. But these things are not necessary. Many fables are fantastical, or have animals as characters; but a fable such as Neruda's Mermaid and the Drunks delivers its moral lesson in an almost realistic narrative. A Fable can be a poem (Dryden and La Fontaine both wrote famous fables which are also poems); but it does not need to be (Aesop's Fables are often found as prose stories; and so are the fables in the Arabian Nights).
