Can you share some funny parable stories?
Sure. One funny parable story is about the boy who cried wolf. A young shepherd boy kept shouting that a wolf was attacking his sheep just for fun. When the villagers came to help each time and found no wolf, they got angry. But one day when a real wolf came, no one believed him and his sheep were eaten. It teaches us not to lie or people won't trust us when it really matters.
Another one is the parable of the sower. A sower scattered seeds. Some seeds fell on the path and were eaten by birds. Some fell on rocky ground and couldn't grow well. But some fell on good soil and grew into healthy plants. This parable is about how different people receive and grow in the message of life, depending on their own state.
What are the characteristics of funny parable stories?
One characteristic is that they often use simple characters. For example, in the story of the ant and the grasshopper, the ant and the grasshopper are easy - to - understand characters. Another characteristic is that they have a clear moral lesson at the end. Just like the story of the fox and the grapes. When the fox couldn't reach the grapes, he said they were sour. The moral is that people sometimes pretend not to want something when they can't get it. And they are usually told in a simple and engaging way that can make people laugh or at least find it interesting.
Can you share a short parable story?
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.'
