Answer: True.

Explanation: Aesop was an observer of both animals and people. Most of the characters in his stories are animals, some of them with human characteristics and are personified in ways of speech and emotions. However, the majority of his characters have animalistic qualities. Each fable has an accompanying moral to be learned from the tale.
