Short stories having morals (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fables

(Other definitions for fables that I've seen before include "Legends or parables as told by Aesop" , "Tales from Aesop" , "Short moral stories, as those by Aesop" , "Improbable stories with a moral" , "Aesop wrote a lot of them" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
