Allegory. An allegory is a story, poem, or picture that can be interpreted to reveal a hidden meaning, typically a moral or political one. Some allegories are presented in the form of a long short story. For instance, 'Animal Farm' by George Orwell can be seen as an allegory for the Russian Revolution and its aftermath, and while it is not extremely long, it is much longer than a simple short story and is full of moral and political implications.
I'm not sure as I don't know the story 'the wog short story'. It could be about kindness, if it shows characters being kind to one another and how that positively impacts their lives.
Since I'm not acquainted with 'the nincompoop short story', it's difficult to determine its moral. However, if the 'nincompoop' is a character who makes bad decisions, the moral might be about the importance of making wise choices. Maybe it also warns against being ignorant or acting without thinking, which could be traits of this 'nincompoop' in the story.
The moral could be about honesty. For example, if Ananse lies or cheats in the story to get what he wants, like in the story where he tricks the bees, the moral is that dishonesty will often lead to bad consequences, such as getting stung by the bees.
One moral might be about perseverance. Just like the monkey trying to get the bananas in the previous story, not giving up in the face of difficulties can lead to rewards. We should keep trying like the monkey did to reach the bananas.
One possible moral could be about transformation. Just as the caterpillar transforms into a butterfly, it can symbolize personal growth and change in people's lives.
A common moral in Ganpati short stories is that kindness and selflessness are rewarded. Ganpati, being a benevolent deity, often helps those who are in need or are kind - hearted. For example, if someone is kind to others in the story, Ganpati might come to their aid in a difficult situation. This shows that being good to others has its own rewards.
In a Telugu town, there were two friends. One was very rich and the other was poor. The rich friend always boasted about his wealth. One day, they both went on a journey. On the way, they faced a big storm and lost their way. The rich friend's money could not help them at all. But the poor friend had some skills like making a shelter and finding food. They survived because of the poor friend's skills. This story teaches that skills are more valuable than just having money.
In a short Easter story, the moral could be about sharing. For example, if the story is about animals sharing the Easter eggs they find, it shows that sharing makes the celebration more enjoyable for everyone.
The moral might be about the unfairness of fate. Medusa was a victim in a way. She was punished for something that was not entirely her fault. Poseidon's actions in Athena's temple led to her being cursed. It shows that sometimes people are punished unjustly in life.
