Problem: Article: Because the moral is the center of a fable, it’s often helpful to begin outlining your fable by determining the moral. The moral of a fable should relate to or reflect on a culturally pertinent issue that will resonate with many people.  Some examples of famous fable morals to help inspire you include:  "Like will draw like." "The greatest kindness will not bind the ungrateful." "Advice prompted by selfishness should not be heeded." "Fine feathers don't make fine birds." "Strangers should avoid those who quarrel among themselves."    For a complete listing of the morals of Aesop's Fables and links to the stories in which they appear, go here. The problem is what will drive the action of the fable, and it will be the primary source for the lesson to be learned.  Because the nature of fable is to convey culturally-relevant lessons and ideas, the central problem works best when it’s something to which many people can relate.  For example, in "The Tortoise and the Hare," we are are quickly introduced to what will be the central problem or conflict of the story when two characters decide to hold a race. Determine who or what the characters in your fable will be and what traits will define them.  Because fables are meant to be simple and concise, don’t aim for complex or multi-faceted characters. Rather, aim to have each character embody a single human trait and keep the characters within those specific limits.  As the characters will be the primary vehicle for the fable’s moral, choose characters that will most clearly relate to that moral. In "The Tortoise and the Hare" the characters are, as the title indicates, a tortoise and a hare. Because a tortoise is easily associated with things that are slow-moving and the hare with things that are swift, the characters already have what will be their key traits in the story built-in. Though the kind of animal or object you choose for your character will have objective traits built-in, as above, you'll also need to craft the subjective qualities attached to those traits.  In "The Tortoise and the Hare," the tortoise's slowness is associated with level-headedness and persistence, while the hare's swiftness is associated with rashness and over-confidence. There are a number of classic archetypal characters used in fables that are broadly recognized and associated with particular human traits. Choosing two characters with opposing traits is often useful in setting up a clear conflict for the story.  Some of the most common archetypes and their characteristics include:  The lion: strength, pride The wolf: dishonesty, greed, rapaciousness The donkey: ignorance The fly: wisdom The fox: cleverness, trickiness, cunning The hawk: bossiness, absolutism The hen: conceitedness The lamb: innocence, shyness Where will the events of the story take place? As when choosing the moral and the problem, choose a setting that will be simple and recognizable to most people.  The setting should also lend itself to the characters and their particular relationships. Try to make the setting simple but vivid--it should be a place readers can easily recognize and understand, which will save you having to explicitly lay out the details of the surroundings. For example, in the well known fable of the tortoise and the hare, the setting is simply a road through a forest, which sets the stage for the action (a race down the road) and lends itself to the kinds of characters in the story (woodland creatures). The resolution should be satisfying as well as relevant to the other components of the story, including the characters, their relationships, and the setting.  Consider how the characters will resolve the conflict and how that resolution will support the lesson and moral to be taken from the story. For example, in "The Tortoise and the Hare" the resolution is simple--the hare, in his rashness, loses the race through the forest to the persevering tortoise.
Summary: Choose the moral. Decide the problem. Decide on the cast of characters. Determine the characters' archetypes. Choose the setting. Decide the resolution to the problem.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: A denim vest is typically worn during hotter months to spice up summer outfits. Add it to your own favorite summertime outfits to make your look more interesting and give yourself a fashionable edge. It’s also seen as more on the casual side due to its association with jeans, so don’t try to pull it off in more elegant situations unless you’re extremely confident it works.  While it’s possible to wear a denim vest during colder seasons, the lack of bulk and cloth make the item of clothing little more than a fashion accessory. Save your denim vest for spring, summer and early fall. Pair your denim vest with existing items in your wardrobe. A vest is usually paired with sundresses, shorts, a floor-length skirt, and loose fitting pants. If it’s spring or fall, you can also pair a denim vest with an all-black outfit to give it a pop of color Denim vests are best paired with black outfits, crop-tops, colorful pants, and stripes to both spice up and neutralize worn colors. Wearing denim vests with other denim is doable, but requires the two items of clothing to be of two obviously different washes. After you’ve properly sported your denim vest, know how to properly keep it clean. Denim is a very strong material – originally invented to withstand a blue-collar workday – but is very sensitive to washing. Washing too much can cause your denim to lose its color.  Spot-clean your denim vest with a toothbrush and a minimal amount of laundry detergent. This will only clean the vest on a need-to-clean basis and save it from the wear and tear of a normal washing machine.   Soak your vest in vinegar and water. Water itself will cause the vest to lose its color. Vinegar helps conserve the color. Soak the vest for about an hour before hanging it up to dry. The same technique can be used with a washing machine by washing your vest on the hand-wash setting and adding vinegar over laundry detergent.

SUMMARY: Know when to wear your new vest. Pair your vest with other items in your wardrobe. Learn how to properly wash your denim vest.
