Parable

A parable is a story that teaches an important lesson or moral. It's like hearing a really good story that helps you understand how to be a better person.

Imagine you are playing with your toys, but your friend comes over and starts grabbing all of them. You get upset and tell your mom. She tells you a story about two friends who found an apple. One friend wanted to keep the apple all to himself, but the other friend said they should share it.

The story helps you understand that it's better to share your things with your friends than to be selfish. That's what a parable does - it helps you understand an important idea or lesson by telling a story.
