Yes, a parable can be a true story. A parable is a short, simple story used to illustrate a moral or spiritual lesson. While parables often contain fictional elements like talking animals or exaggerated situations for the sake of making the point more vividly, they can also be based on real - life experiences. For example, Jesus' parables in the Bible sometimes drew from the common experiences of the people of that time, such as farming or fishing. So, it's entirely possible for a parable to have roots in a true event or situation and still function as a parable to teach a valuable lesson.

Sure. A parable doesn't have to be entirely fictional. It can be a true story that has been shaped in a way to convey a deeper meaning. Think about it this way: a real - life incident might be used as a parable. If a person witnesses an act of kindness in a community, they could retell that story as a parable to inspire others to be kind. The basic facts of the story are true, but it's presented as a parable to emphasize the moral aspect of kindness. So, yes, a parable can be a true story.

Yes. A parable can be based on truth. The main purpose of a parable is to teach a lesson. It can use a real - life scenario as its foundation. For instance, a story about a hard - working family that overcomes poverty through perseverance could be a parable. The events actually happened (true story), but it's told as a parable to show the value of hard work and perseverance. In this case, the parable is a true story that imparts a moral lesson.

Once there was a little boy who had a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the fence. On the first day, the boy drove 37 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks, as he learned to control his anger, the number of nails he hammered daily gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence. Finally, the day came when he didn't lose his temper at all. His father told him to pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper. The boy did so. When all the nails were removed, his father said, 'Look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like these holes.'
