Do parables and fables teach lessons?
Yes, that is the whole point of fables and parables. Both are short tales that teach a moral or ethical lesson. However, parables are more akin to the teaching of Jesus Christ wheras fables tend to use animals, inanimate objects, or people (extraordinary or not) to teach morals. Fables are what one would read out of Aesop (Tortoise and the Hare, The Ant and the Grasshopper to name a few).
What is a poem what are three differences in poems and fables?
A Fable is just another word for 'story'. Usually when we talk about 'Fables' we mean 'a story with some kind of a moral lesson'. Aesop's Fables are typical Fables; and a story such as The Dog and the Bone has an obvious lesson to teach. Quite often Fables will have some element of magic or fantasy; and almost as often a Fable will have animals who can talk and think like humans as main characters. But these things are not necessary. Many fables are fantastical, or have animals as characters; but a fable such as Neruda's Mermaid and the Drunks delivers its moral lesson in an almost realistic narrative. A Fable can be a poem (Dryden and La Fontaine both wrote famous fables which are also poems); but it does not need to be (Aesop's Fables are often found as prose stories; and so are the fables in the Arabian Nights).
