Gimpel the Fool: And Other Stories

“Mine play out like fools in a fable”

Uncle Jerry names Gimpel the Fool by Isaac Bashevis Singer as one possible fable Taylor could be referencing with 'fools in a fable.' He describes it as a short story about a character who is a fool, his wife cheats on him. Uncle Jerry uses it as an example of how fools in fables never come to any good.
