Description

Margo wanders into a seemingly abandoned factory and accidentally trips a lever which activates the factory "machinery," an assembly line of seven actors who create fabulous fables. Then he meets the factory owner, a Mrs. Alexandra A. Aesop, who explains that the factory has been idle for over 2,000 years because of a missing part. Mrs. Aesop introduces Margo to the machinery. Among them are Stevie, the Story Starter; Pluto, the Plot Plotter; Wadsworth, the Word Worker; and Gretel, the Grammar Guardian. The factory proceeds to create and enact stories which become official fables when Margo himself surprises everyone by supplying the morals. Mrs. Aesop and the others are ecstatic over their new-found "Moral Maker."
