Abstract:
Fables are literary short stories intended to convey a moral maxim for some aspect of human living. Within the discipline of nursing, a fable is a medium by which stories and themes of humanly lived phenomena may be viewed in light of a particular philosophical lens of understanding. The fable offers possibilities for instruction through illuminating fictitious characters and offering notions for what a member of a discipline ought to do. In this article, the author shall present a fable and offer an interpretation from a human becoming perspective for what one ought to do in the discipline of nursing.
