Fable’s Message Answer Key

Students read a fable about a fox who learns the value of honesty and then identify the story’s theme. They write the theme in one sentence and provide two examples from the text that support it. This activity helps students interpret moral lessons in literature and supports comprehension of figurative meaning. Learners practice citing textual evidence to support thematic conclusions, strengthening both reading and reasoning skills.
