Could there be a section for the moral of the parable?  I don't understand it.--[[User:TrTran|TrTran]] 23:09, 8 May 2008 (EDT)

Uhhhhh this doesnt really make any sense. How is this a conservative-centric story? Hmmmmmm, did the smoker have breast cancer?

I added this one, a retelling of Aesop's "The Pitcher and the Crow" with the addition of a liberal chicken who does nothing but complain to contrast with the innovative and hardworking crow. I hope this fits along with others, and that it is o.k. to retell a classic story. Aesop's work is in the public domain and this version is my own work.

NOTE:  this seems to conflict with what Jesus himself taught in the parable of the lost coin: [http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+15%3A8-10&version=DRA] [[User:GregG|GregG]] 23:13, 6 June 2013 (EDT)

Several of Jesus's parables identify human weakness to prove a different point, such as His parable about the unfair judge and also the one about the unscrupulous servant.  Jesus isn't praising the failure.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 00:27, 7 June 2013 (EDT)
