An apologue is a moral fable or a story that conveys a lesson or moral message, often featuring animals as characters. The term is commonly associated with the fables of ancient Greek storytellers like Aesop, where the narrative illustrates a specific ethical lesson. Apologues can take the form of short stories, parables, or allegories, and are used in literature and oratory to teach values, wisdom, or ethical principles.
