Changes

The word parable is from the Greek parabolē, which is a title given to any fictional narrative designed to illustrate a single point.  The parable differs from a [[fable]] in that the setting is not magical (talking animals for instance).  The [[allegory]] differs from the parable in length (allegories are longer) and may encompass more ideals than a parable.
