The literary term "allegory" is a very old and yet, still today, quite commonly used term. Its fundamental definition is "symbolic story"; that is, an allegory is a narrative (or, story) of some kind that tells one tale at the surface with another tale being told through symbolic interpretation of the characters, events, images, etc., of that "surface" story.
