A parable is a type of narrative, similar to a fable or allegory. But parable are usually concerned with conveying spiritual truths. Jesus used parables as a teaching method to teach the people who followed him about, for example, the kingdom of heaven.

The only gospel that includes Jesus' parables about the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the lost son is the Gospel of Luke. These parables emphasize the themes of repentance, forgiveness, and God's unending love for humanity.
Yes. For example, if a email account can only be 12 characters long, spaces would count as a character.
It is unlikely that any of the parables were real. In fact, it is likely that most, if not all, of the parables were never really spoken by Jesus. Most of the parables attributed to Jesus are in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke. Scholars say that these parables were copied by the authors of these two gospels from the hypothetical 'Q' document. The Q document, in turn, was built up in four layers over a period of several years. It seems likely that, at best, only the parables of the first layer could really have been spoken by Jesus, with the later parables being pious additions.

Many of the parables are unique to the Gospels of Matthew and Luke. Schaolars say that the authors of these two gospels sourced the parables from a hypothetical sayings document now known as the 'Q' document. The 'Q' document only provided the sayings that could be attributed to Jesus, but not the place or context in which Jesus would have spoken those sayings, so each of the two evangelists placed them in different contexts that appeared to be appropriate. Some of the sayings are clearly based on the Old Testament.
