Explanation:

A fable is a genre of literature that are mainly fictional short stories in which animals, plants, objects or other non-human beings with human-like behaviors or features are depicted as characters; additionally, the actions and behaviors of these characters usually aim at showing  or illustrating a particular moral lesson which means fables teach the reader the way certain behaviors are morally wrong or right. Considering this the best example of a fable is " A grasshopper plays all summer while the ants store food and is punished by not having anything to eat when winter comes" because it depicts animals  such as the grasshopper and the ants as character with human-like features such as playing but it also shows the characters illustrate a moral which in this case is that too much play rather than working has negative consequences.
