'stories' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are plural nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'involving foal bees and asps?' is the wordplay.
'involving' indicates anagramming the letters.
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'foal'+'bees'='foalbees'
'foalbees' after 'asps' is 'aspsfoalbees'.
'aspsfoalbees' is an anagram of 'AESOPS FABLES'.
