What is the name for a story that has an obvious moral or lesson?

Fable
Epic
Satire
Ode

The correct answer is: Fable

A fable is a story that has an obvious moral or lesson. It typically features animal characters that have human-like qualities and behavior, making it easy for readers to understand and relate to the lesson being taught. This makes options B, C, and D incorrect because they do not specifically refer to a story with an obvious moral or lesson. An epic is a long narrative poem that typically follows the journey of a hero. A satire is a work of literature that uses humor, irony, or exaggeration to criticize or poke fun at societal issues or individuals. An ode is a lyric poem that expresses strong emotions of admiration, usually addressed to a particular subject. While these literary forms may contain lessons or morals, it is not their primary purpose, making them incorrect answers for this question.
