Storytelling is an aged-old method to convey a short or long message. A fable, typically with animals as characters, is a short story imparting morality. A myth, most likely a traditional story, may answer life's overarching questions. Folklore/folktale, a collection of fictional tales, is generally about people or animals. A legend, purporting to be historical in nature, is a story but without substantiation. And lastly, a fairy tale mostly involving fairies, giants, dragons, elves, goblins, dwarves, and other fanciful and fantastic forces, is for children and the child-like imagination. In what category would you place the parables of the Bible, particularly those of Jesus Christ in New Testaments? Are they myth, folklore, legend, or fairy tale? The answer is "No". The parables of the Bible are allegorical truth not fiction and mysteries. The hidden spiritual meaning transcends the literal sense of the sacred biblical text.
