** Total(40) 36 ** ** This story reminds me of //Horton Hatches the Egg// by Dr. Seuss, which has a slightly different moral. The idea of an orphan elephant is different, and a good motive for Polly's actions. However, I think your emphasis on character development in your User's Guide and your fable is misplaced. As you pointed out, Aesop and others used animals to represent character traits without much development of them. Dr. Seuss did a little more development, but the plot and theme are the main components of a fable. ** **I also hoped for more than one fable, given how short the form is. Rather than write multiple fables, you lengthened this one, which stretches the limits of the genre. What you are writing is more like a folk tale than a fable.** **I did enjoy your story and appreciate the attention that brought you to revise it.**
