Middle-Level Standard: Fiction Retell the fable of "The Fox and the Stork" based on the scenes shown on the porcelain teacups included in the unit. To complement study of the fable illustrated on the teacups, read or listen to other fables featuring animals (e.g., Kipling's Just So Stories or Aesop's Fables). Identify the literary characteristics of fables.
