More Fables

by George Ade from 1900

About

Ade's Fables in Slang sequels — of which More Fables is one — continue his unique comic genre: American vernacular fables in which working-class slang and current cultural references replace the classical apparatus of Aesop. The Moral at the end of each fable is typically devastating in its directness. As reading material, individual fables (5-10 minutes each) work perfectly for comedy groups.
