It depends on who tells the story. In most of the Chicken Little (or Chicken Licken/Henny Penny) stories, Chicken LIttle gets the other animal eaten by Foxy Loxy because he incited them to hysteria. The moral for those would be "don't follow blindly" or "don't believe everything you hear."
The kid-gloves version is a little nicer and usually involves the animals getting saved and that moral would be "always believe in yourself, even if others don't."

HEHEHE BOI
I assume that the synonym you are looking for is a 'parable', which is a short story, such as those Jesus told, which teaches a moral or spiritual lesson.
That's what I would like to know.
Each parable has a different lesson.
A simple story used to illustrate a moral or spiritual lesson, as told by Jesus in the Gospels.
The lesson is that you should be ready for Jesus christs second coming.
This could be either a morality tale, or a parable.

This is not a "moral lesson" per-say, The buried treasure refers to those who are saved by faith. The field is the world. In order to get the treasure, he bought the whole field. He paid for it with the blood of Jesus.
There is no moral to the prodigal son. Parables are not usually told to convey moral lessons. They usually convey spiritual truths. The parable was told as a rebuke to the scribes and pharisees who resented Jesus speaking to the lost people of Israel (the lost son)
A story with a moral at the end which teaches one a life lesson is called A Fable. This is a story where one does something wrong or sins and learns how to correct his ways towards the ends of the story.
A parable is a form of storytelling in which a fictional narrative is used to convey a moral or spiritual lesson. While the events in a parable may not be factual, the underlying message or lesson is meant to be applicable to real life situations. So, parables are considered a kind of fiction that imparts nonfictional truths.
