What is pronoun of fables?

Fables don't have a specific pronoun. They are stories, and like any story, they can use any pronoun depending on the characters and their roles.

Here's why it's not that simple:

* Character types: Fables often feature animals, objects, or even abstract concepts personified. So, the pronouns used will depend on who or what the characters are.

* Pronoun usage: Fables can use:

* He/him/his for male characters

* She/her/hers for female characters

* It/its for non-gendered characters

* They/them/their for groups or when the character's gender is not specified

Example:

* "The Tortoise and the Hare": This fable features a male tortoise (he/him/his) and a male hare (he/him/his).

* "The Ant and the Grasshopper": This fable features a female ant (she/her/hers) and a male grasshopper (he/him/his).

Instead of a pronoun specific to fables, it's more accurate to say that fables use pronouns based on the characters and their gender.
