A parable is a short, instructive story, in prose or verse, which illustrates one or more instructive lessons or principles. A parable is a type of analogy. It may contain a metaphor.
A metaphor is a phrase that indirectly compares one thing to another. eg
He thundered around the room.

Why parables? God gave the disciples spiritual understanding and that no one is able to comprehend the truth without this gift. "Therefore I speak to them in parables," He said, adding, "because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand" (verse 13).
Parables did not make the meaning any clearer for people without this gift of spiritual insight. At the same time, however, parables did not obscure people's comprehension. It is because God, in His Master Plan of Salvation of Mankind, did not give them the ability to know the truth during their respective lifetimes. However, because Christ chose easily recognizable illustrations and objects from everyday living for His parables, they actually helped to illustrate the truth to those God called to conversion in their lifetimes - the firstfruits.
