A parable is a particular type of teaching method that involves a comparison or use of analogy between two different things. It involves words, used to illustrate and instruct.
A miracle, on the other hand generally involves an action rather than just words. In relation to Jesus' miracles, for example, the miracle was performed to meet a need, often to heal a sick person. Of course, many of Jesus' miracles also illustrate and teach things about Jesus, especially His compassion and divine power, but they are primarily action rather than words.

Why did Jesus often work a miracle just before he told a parable?
A:Many (but not all) of the parables in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke were originally taken from the 'Q' document, which does not really have miracles. It was a matter for the authors of inserting the various parables into the material they had copied from Mark's Gospel in such a way as to create a harmonious storyline.

Why do you think Jesus followers remembered his teachings more when he used parables?
AnswerJesus used parables to confuse his listeners because their leaders had rejected Him. Jesus only started using parables after the leaders rejected Him. Obviously He explained the parables to His followers so that at least they understood in order to train them for ministry in the early Church of Christ.His disciples often misunderstood what He was saying for a number of reasons. In particular, they did not understand that Israel would reject the First Coming of Jesus. Modern Israel is being prepared to accept the Second Coming of Jesus. In Exodus 4:8, the two miracles actually refer to the Raising of Lazarus and the Resurrection of the Two Witnesses in Revelation. When God said, "If they do not believe the voice of the first sign; they will believe the voice of the last sign"; it's the two miracles referred to with Lazarus and the Two Witnesses that are in view here.Jesus' followers did not really understand more when he used parables. They did understand more after the Resurrection and after Jesus' teaching over the next 40 days. Perhaps he re-hashed some issues by reminding them of the parables in that period but The Bible is silent on such things.
