Story and great French article (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fable

'story' is the definition.
(I know that fable is a type of story)

'great french article' is the wordplay.
'great' becomes 'fab' (short for fabulous).
'french article' becomes 'le' (definite article in French).
'fab'+'le'='FABLE'

'and' is the link.

(Other definitions for fable that I've seen before include "It's not true" , "Aesop's story?" , "Short moral story" , "One of Aesop's tales" , "Myth, legend" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
