A story with a moral at the end is when the end of a story teaches you an important life lesson.

Ex : The moral of the story the tortoise and the hare is that if you take things slow and steady you can get it done before or better than a person who goes fast and is arrogant.

Answer 4

A fable is a short tale written to teach a moral lesson, often with animals as characters. Aesop's Fables is a collection from Ancient Greece that is still popular with readers of any background.

Another is "allegory." A less common word would be "apologue." "Parables" in common usage are usually assumed to be religious, often even Christian specific, or even more specifically, stories told by Christ himself. "Fables" such as Aesop's almost always have a moral or ethical message but are not generally considered religiously oriented, though they may be considered "Western-centric." Even "legends" over time will drift from pure historical form and take on cultural significance.

So, by definition, "fables" and "parables" are "allegorical" in nature. Other religions, ethnic or even national/political cultures will have similar stories by different names, all allegorical in nature.
