A story that involves teaching a lesson could be called a fable or a parable. Both are usually brief and very much to the point, and illustrate a moral lesson: the moralof the story.
Fables frequently involve animals characterized as humans; also inanimate objects, forces of nature, plants, and so on. Parables generally, but not always, use human characters to illustrate their point.
The main thing about both types of story is that they take ordinary, easily-recognizable objects and characters, around which a story is woven in such a way as to become extraordinarily memorable.
A famous parable attributed to Jesus is the tale of the Mustard Seed, so tiny one can barely see it unless it is very close to one's eye, but this tiny seed can grow to be a large tree, home to birds and other creatures, and shade and source of spice to man.
Another is that of the prodigal son, who leaves home to live a wasteful and selfish life, returning poverty-stricken and ill, having lost everything, only to be welcomed by his father with great love and lavish celebration.
A well-known fable attributed to Aesop is the story of the boy who cried wolf, about a youngster who became bored and cried out to warn villagers a wolf was approaching, so he could laugh at them rushing around to defend their homes and hoping to catch the wolf. He did it once too often, and the last time he tried the trick they all ignored his yells. He was eaten by the wolf. A more modern version of the same story is the entertaining poem by the English writer, Hilaire Belloc, Matilda, who told Lies and was Burned to Death.
