I am not so sure the Story of Jonah is a parable - a short, comparative tale to relay an important message. The Scripture presents Jonah as a real person who had an unusual event happen to him. Even today, Japanese fisherman have discovered a live human inside a large fish (whale in this case).
Because they asked Jesus for a sign of His Messiahship, He told them the only sign would be that of Jonah - a comparison or 'parable' of what was about to occur. As Jonah was 3 days and 3 nights in the belly of the great fish, Jesus would be 3 days and 3 nights in the belly of the Earth - the grave or hell.
Those who speculate on His dying on a Friday afternoon and rising on an early Sunday morning, apparently denounce this one and only sign given. No matter how one counts, you will never arrive at 3 twelve hour days and 3 twelve hour nights.

What kind of whale swole johna blue or humpback whele?
Jonah could not have been swallowed by a whale at all. Whales have throats the size of a small melon (bigger for a blue whale), but incapable of swallowing a human. It is possible Jonah was swallowed by a shark! It is also possible that the story of Jonah and the whale was a parable, and not a true story, but one that got a point across!
