They are often called moral tales or didactic stories. These types of short stories aim to impart some valuable wisdom or life lesson to the readers.

A story used to teach a moral lesson is typically referred to as a parable. Parables present simple, relatable situations to illustrate a moral principle. They are common in many cultures and religions.

There's also the story of 'The Three Little Witches'. The three little witches each build a different kind of house - one out of straw, one out of sticks, and one out of bricks. A big, bad goblin comes along and tries to blow their houses down. Just like in 'The Three Little Pigs', the two witches with the flimsy houses learn that they should have built a sturdier place. It teaches kids the importance of planning and building things well.

The lesson from the story could be anything. Maybe it's about learning to forgive, or understanding that hard work pays off in the end.

There was a person who over - improved a property in a neighborhood where the other houses were much simpler. He spent a fortune on renovations. But when he tried to sell, he couldn't get the price he wanted. The reason was that the property was too 'out of place' for the area. So, the lesson here is to be aware of the market and the neighborhood when making improvements to a property.

I recommend the ancient novel " The General's Daughter, Nalan Xiang Weiyang." The story was about the heroine, Nalan Xiang Weiyang, a girl from a military family. Her father and grandfather were generals. The novel described her experiences growing up in a military family and her relationship with her father. For the specific plot and story development, please read the novel.
