Petrus?If you mean "tales" as in "fables", then I'd suggest: Lupus fabularum
I unfortunately don't know the Latin equivalent of "Peter".
“I am the wolf”.

Petrus.
'Ille' might be appropriate if reffering to an aforemention'd wolf.
Yes, Petrus. "Peter the wolf": Petrus lupus.
Hmm, I had thought it were 'Perter and the Wolf'.
It was IU.

In fact it was Ignis Umbra who translated it. Many misattributions these days... Anyway I confirm it too.
Scriptor was surely alluding to Prokofiev's composition of the same name, not the translation request.
Although I can't quite put my finger on it, I'm sure there must be some sort of clear difference between a tale and a fable. Perhaps it's that a tale can be true, or lacks the fantastical elements of a fable? I don't know, but is “fabularum" the closest that Latin has for “tale”. By the way, seeing you all discuss it is awesome. Thank you!
Fabula means "tale/story", not specifically "fable". "Fable" is just the English derivative.
Correct. He was referring to Peter and the Wolf. I asked about Peter the wolf. Like, a wolf named Peter.
Yes, it is.
What does “ille" mean?
Approximately "that".
So, there's something that nears “that” but not “the”?
Yes.
