The first parable that Jesus taught may not be specifically known. We know from the gospel of Luke (the only gospel that claims to be chronologically ordered) that the first recorded parable of Jesus is the parable of the sower. This can be found in the eight chapter of the book bearing his name.
However, Jesus previously used lanauge that would have been common in parables (for example, designating Peter and the other disciples "fishers of men"). In all probability, Jesus used parables frequently; however, the parable of the sower is the first mentioned.

The parable of the rich fool illustrates the fact that possessions are not the principal thing in life. Because of a good crop, this wealthy farmer was faced with what seemed to him a problem. He did not know what to do with all the grain. All his barns and silos were full to capacity. So he decided to pull down his barns and build bigger ones.
As soon as his new barns were built, he planned to retire. Notice his spirit of self sufficiency: my barns, my fruits, my goods, my soul. He had the future all planned. He was going to take his ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
But then his life ended suddenly and all his material wealth was nothing to him.
Jesus told His parables to the Jews. They were/are God's people they were to be examples of a Godly nation before all other nations so the parable is directed to the Jewish people of the day. But the principle is the same for Christians today - be involved in God's work in that way you are storing up treasure in heaven don't build your life around material possessions here on earth.

Where did Jesus' tell the parable of the lost sheep?
The Parable of the Lost Sheep appears in the Gospels of Matthew (18:12–14) and Luke (15:3–7). These gospels were originally anonymous, so we do not know who wrote them, in spite of the attributions to Matthew and Luke later in the second century. These gospel accounts are believed to have been copied from the hypothetical 'Q' document, which was also anonymous. Thus, we do not know who first wrote this parable.

What does the parable of the talents teach Christians?
Some Christians say this parable is about what a Christian does with the gospel. Its importance to Christians is that a Christian should be a good steward of the gospel. However I think this parable is not primarily about Christians. The first interpretation of this parable is probably: the three servants are Israelites living during the time between Christ's first and second coming to earth. This parable is connected to the previous parable (verses 1-13) by the word 'for'. The parable has to do with the judgment of unsaved Israel at the time of Christ's second coming. Jesus said He came to the lost sheep of Israel and so most of His parables are about Israel not the church. Matthew 15:24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Matthew 10:6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
