Oh honey, buckle up because I'm about to drop some truth bombs! Some popular parables that aren't from The Bible include "The Boy Who Cried Wolf," teaching us not to lie or we'll lose credibility faster than a Kardashian loses a sponsor. Then there's "The Tortoise and the Hare," reminding us that slow and steady wins the race, unlike my dating life which is just slow and disappointing. And let's not forget "The Lion and the Mouse," proving that even the smallest creatures can help in a big way, unlike my cat who just sleeps all day and judges me silently.

Jesus told the parables in the bible.
Jesus is famous for telling parables in the Bible. Parables are simple stories used to teach moral or spiritual lessons. Jesus used parables throughout his teachings to convey important messages in a way that was easily understood by his audience.
Some critics claim that he was not, though in Walden he makes countless references to the Bible. He talks about old testament stories and some of Jesus' parables as well.
