Apologue

n. [ L. apologous, Gr. &unr_;; &unr_; from + &unr_; speech, &unr_; to speak: cf. F. apologue. ] A story or relation of fictitious events, intended to convey some moral truth; a moral fable. [ 1913 Webster ]

☞ An apologue differs from a parable in this;: the parable is drawn from events which take place among mankind, and therefore requires probability in the narrative; the apologue is founded on supposed actions of brutes or inanimate things, and therefore is not limited by strict rules of probability. Æsop's fables are good examples of apologues. [ 1913 Webster ]
