Fables, legends, and poems – basic principles
How it works
Fables are short, instructive narratives in which animals usually have human characteristics and convey a moral. Legends are folk tales that often combine real places or events with fantastic elements. Poems are literary texts with a special form, often with rhyme, rhythm, and figurative language. Each type of text has typical features and functions.
Note
