| has gloss | eng: A moral is a message conveyed or a lesson to be learned from a story or event. The moral may be left to the hearer, reader or viewer to determine for themselves, or may be explicitly encapsulated in a maxim. As an example of the latter, at the end of Aesops fable of the Tortoise and the Hare, in which the plodding and determined tortoise wins a race against the much-faster yet extremely arrogant hare, the stated moral is "slow and steady wins the race". However, other morals can often be taken from the story itself; for instance, that "arrogance or overconfidence in ones abilities may lead to failure or the loss of an event, race, or contest". The use of stock characters is a means of conveying the moral of the story by eliminating complexity of personality and so spelling out the issues arising in the interplay between the characters, enables the writer to generate a clear message. With more rounded characters, such as those typically found in Shakespeare's plays, the moral may be more nuanced but no less present, and the writer may point it up in other ways (see, for example, the Prologue to Romeo and Juliet). |

| has gloss | mkd: Наравоучение или поука е порака која се пренесува преку некој настан или приказна. Наровоучението може да биде оставено на читателот или слушателот сам да го сфати, но може да биде и ескплицитно дадено во максима. Пример за вториот случај е крајот на Езоповата басна за Желката и зајакот, каде упорната желка ја добива трката против брзиот самобендисан зајак, каде поуката е: „полека, но сигурно до победа“. |
