Ironically, the Greek storyteller [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aesop Aesop]] probably doesn't deserve the dubious honor of having this trope named after him. In their original forms these stories likely did ''not'' end with heavy-hitting moral {{anvil|icious}}s. The listeners (for Aesop would have been an oral storyteller) were probably left to sort out the meaning for themselves; the one-liner morals (such as "slow and steady wins the race") were likely tacked on by modern compilers, and were often used as rhetorical devices by later orators to make a point. Highlighting a moral truth is indeed, however, one of the main characteristics of the {{Fable}}, which for centuries have taught lessons to live by through allegories, often using animals and other non-human characters. These short tales can teach how to see through deceit, lead with difficult situations, not be overtook by arrogance etc., but they almost always have a value arised from the story.

An Aesop is among the JustForFun/TropesOfLegend. Almost every work can be considered to have an Aesop, so only put series-wide examples, or examples that have no sub-trope here.
