Although I cannot write the whole fable for you, I can provide you with the topics to develop into one. Our theme is the first one, "Do not give your enemies the means of destroying you."
- The main characters are a fox and dog. The fox is sly and smart, whereas the dog is arrogant and proud. The dog guards a farm, and the fox lives in the forest that surrounds that farm.
- The fox wants to steal eggs from the farm, but he is afraid of the dog. However, he notices how clean and lustrous the dog's fur is, so he compliments the dog.
- The dog loves being complimented, so he begins telling the fox about himself. He talks about what he eats, how many baths he takes a month, how comfortably he sleeps, etc.
- The dog talks so much that he ends up revealing the best time for the fox to enter the farm undetected - the time when he, the dog, is too busy to guard anything.
- The next day, the fox steals all the eggs and the dog's owner is rightfully angry. The dog realizes he has talked too much and that his pride led him to think the fox is really interested in learning about him.
<h3>What is a fable?</h3>
- A fable is a type of story that presents a moral lesson. Its main characteristic is the use of animals and objects with human qualities and abilities, such as talking, as characters.
- The topics above can be developed into a fable where the lesson is that pride is harmful and can lead us to give our enemies the means to destroy us.
- The dog is <u>proud and narcissistic</u>. For that reason, he thinks everyone admires him and is interested in him. He cannot stop talking about himself, so he ends up giving away precious information to the fox.
- A good idea is to write the dialogue between the characters showing how much dog talks as opposed to how little the fox talks. The fox will mostly express admiration for the dog's beauty and his comfortable life, trying to get him to keep on talking.

Answer:
She then realizes just how important of a role her mom plays in her life. In the story The White Umbrella, the narrator, a young girl Chinese girl that goes to school with Americans, and has seemed that she has not completely found herself yet. Her mother and father both work. She shows her embarrassment of her mother working. After school, her sister and her take piano lessons at Miss Crossman’s house. While she sat and waited on her turn she spotted the white umbrella. She thought that she needed to hold it to fit in with others.
Her mother has told her that they can not afford extra things for them to have. She wants to have things like others instead of just showing herself and accepting that she can not have all the extra things like other kids. When her turn came to play the piano she tries’s her best to try and impress Miss Crossman. The narrator shows her insecurity by not accepted Miss Crossman’s ride, instead of walking in the rain. After piano lessons they waited outside in the rain. She offered them to come inside and she refused to do it.
Mona, the narrator’s sister finally decides to go inside. Miss Crossman goes outside and talks to the narrator. The narrator lies to Miss Crossman and tells her that her family drives a Convertible, and that her mother, a concert pianist, will come to pick them up anytime. Miss Crossman gives the white umbrella to her. She tells Miss Crossman that she wishes that she would have been her mother. The narrator begins to feel guilty, and that the Umbrella shows her disobedience towards her mother.
After their mom finally shows up, she hides the umbrella underneath her clothing so that her mother does not see. They get into a car wreck on the way home. She sees that her mom’s eyes are closed. She begins to think her mother may have died. She decides to scream. Then she sees that her mom just closed her eyes because things have frustrated her. When her mother gets out the car to talk to the other people in the accident, she throws the umbrella down the sewer.
This shows that you should never show ungratefulness for what you have. It does not matter about what you need to fit in with the people around you. It only matters what you need to live well. The white Umbrella, an informal story, it gives a life lesson. It can also entertain anyone who wants to read it. The narrator now knows how important her mother’s role has on her life. Hopefully she will show herself for now on instead of trying to carry on like others around her.
