Fable (Lat: Fabula – short story) – a short story in prose or verses, in which the animals have animals, sometimes plants, inanimate objects or some natural forces. They are usually shown by human properties (anthropomorphosized) through speech, character properties, inclinations, aspirations, etc. Relations between people are usually given allegorically, making their weaknesses and disadvantages and give moral lessons, which can ultimately express and explicitly in the form of proverbs, proverbs or maxims. Transferred by generation of generation as oral or as a literary work, its goal is to teach, to evaluate or give a wise advice. Often used to ridicule some negative trait, for example, stupidity. The Macedonian folk literature is known as the story of animals. The first entries are on K. A. Sapkarev and M. K. Cepenkov. They are evident and the emergence of localization of the action of the stories. Another trait is giving animal names: for the fox – godfather Lisa, Kuma Lina and Mara, for Wolf godfather Wolf, for the dog – Bosilko, for the badger – Iko, for the goat – Patola. Such an appointment of animals is made to be more similar to people, with specific national features. In the motives and the sire, they found the old mythological views regarding the world and nature.
