An allegorical tale is a type of story that uses symbolism to convey a moral or spiritual lesson. It is often referred to as a FABLE, which is a five-letter word used to describe this type of story. Allegorical tales are usually short stories with animals or other creatures as characters, and the characters often represent different aspects of human nature. The moral of the story is usually revealed at the end, and the story is meant to teach a lesson about life.
