Myths and legends are both very old traditional tales.

A myth is a traditional story that explains the beliefs of a people about the natural and human world. The main characters in myths are usually gods or supernatural heroes. The stories are set in the distant past. The people who told these stories believed that they were true.

A legend is a traditional story about the past. The main characters are usually kings or heroes. Like myths, legends were thought to be true.

A fable is a funny story but may teach a lesson or suggest a moral from it. A fable starts in the middle of the story, that means, jumps into the main event without detailed introduction of characters. The characters of a fable may be people, animals, gods, or anything else. When animals and objects are used in fables, they think and talk like people, even though they act like animals or objects. For example, in a fable a clay pot might say that it is frightened of being broken. The stories told by fables are usually very simple. Aesop created some of the most famous fables. from kids.kiddle.co/Fable

Reading fairy tales can be so much fun. This week read or watch a fairy tale. After your read the original version try to find a fractured version of the story. In a fractured tale the story may be told from a different point of view. The characters may be different, like Cinderella could be a cowgirl or a bigfoot.
