allegory, fable, myth, parable (nn.)
An allegory is a narrative, drama, or device in which characters and events symbolize ideas or abstractions.
A fable is a story with a moral or lesson to impart, often through the actions of animals that speak and act like people;
one extended sense is pejorative: fables never really happen, so they're lies.
A parable is a brief story told to illustrate a moral or religious idea.
A myth is a narrative that explains the prehistory of a people, often dealing with their origins and their gods;
by extension it is a modern effort to represent the origins and values of a race or nation, and, by the very nature of its imaginative qualities, it has acquired pejorative senses.
