It's important to know that most myths did not have morals. Myths usually explained natural phenomena or unexplained events. In this case, they were explaining why the white fruit of the mulberry turns red.

If you must have a moral, then use this, "Even if you hate your neighbor, it's cheaper to pay for one wedding than two funerals."

How is pyramus and thisbe the same as Romeo and Juliet?

They are not the same, but they are similar. Indeed it is thought that the original Pyramus and Thisbe story is one of the sources of the Romeo and Juliet story. The key part that is similar is that one of a pair of lovers, mistakenly believing his love to be dead, commits suicide, whereupon the other lover, finding that her love is really dead, commits suicide also. In Pyramus and Thisbe, Pyramus believes Thisbe to be dead because he finds her garment stained with blood, whereas Romeo believes Juliet to be dead because he has been told by Balthazar that he saw her buried. Of course if that was all there was to it, Romeo and Juliet would be as short and as silly as Pyramus and Thisbe in Midsummer Night's Dream.
