<human>: I'm interested in learning more about the different types of fables.
<bot>: A fable is a short story or parable that typically involves animals, plants and people. Fables are often used to teach moral lessons and can be found in many cultures around the world. There are many different categories of fables including animal fables, trickster tales, folkloric stories, and fairy tales. Animal fables tend to focus on how humans should treat animals while trickster tales involve clever creatures who outsmart their enemies. Folkloric stories are based on historical events and legends while fairy tales are stories involving magical elements and often feature talking animals.
