Abstract
As a literary form, the parable is an independent narrative, a unitary whole that expresses by itself a supernatural truth. Parables are similitudes taken from everyday life in nature that plastically reproduce a spiritual reality. Parables have many similarities with fables. However, while fables usually depict some abstract, fantastic, unreal truths from the life of nature or animals, most of the time unrealizable, parables do not have an unreal connotation but are possible events taken from everyday life.

Because the parable is an imagined story, which exposes real facts from human life and activity.
