A parable is a small moral story in an allegorical form, where the characters can be animals or representatives of the plant world. An important element of the parable is its subtext. As in the fable, the parable always has another side, which makes these two genres related, and they also have another unifying factor - this is a moral conclusion and morality. Morality is more akin to a fable, the subtext in it is usually clearly expressed and initially understood by everyone, while in the parable the reader cannot always find the conclusion presented by the author, he must also look for it and speculate it himself.
