Explanation:

A fable is a fictional short story in verse or fiction that usually includes animals, plants or other creatures with human features, these characters and the actions of them aim at illustrating a moral story which is a lesson about some general aspect of human life or human nature, this moral is mainly universal but can also be linked to some community or context. Fables are similar to parables whose main purpose is also morals but parables mainly use human characters.

Thus, the main purpose of a fable is to illustrate a more or general truth about human nature.

the pronoun reference replaces a noun, but you have to make sure there's no room for confusion.

in the first sentence "her" could be referring to shely or to the sister. the answer there is "shelly called her sister and told her about the new baby."

in the second sentence "it" could be referring to the roof or the floor. the answer there is "since the roof leaks on the family room floor, we need to repair the roof."

the economic activity signified in that scenario is a. production

in general, market production makes reference to the elaboration of a product or service which is destinated for economic purposes (to be sold) at money-price in a market. such product or service has to be principally tradable for money.

there is no money exchange involved in distribution, generalized reciprocity or balanced reciprocity.
