Answer 1

The answer is A (The story contains a moral) :)

Answer 2

The answer is A: The story contains a moral.

A parable is a short story —with human characters— that is succinct and didactic in nature. The story represents an ethical principle set in a plot or storyline whose resolution is the teaching of a moral. The term is usually associated with the teachings of Jesus in the Gospels, but the term is not restricted to the teachings of Jesus therein.
