Summary:spring2 n A joke, a joke is ah ah. A joke that you tell with, ah, funny expression into it to make you laugh. But a fable is something that happened years ago. (So a fable is true?) A fable is some- times true, and sometimes false, you know. Now, you'd take a fable, you take, you take me to tell my, my grandchild, say, Charlie's boy, six year old. I go and tell him, ah, a fable about (the) day, the first _spring_ on out to the ice fields, you know. And I'd tell him this where I went out to the ice fields and we killed seals. And he knows nothing about seals, you know. To him, this is a fable. PRINTED ITEM W.
