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.
