apologue
n.
story with a moral
Apologue
An apologue (from the
Greek "απολογος," a "statement" or "account") is a brief fable or allegorical story with pointed or exaggerated details, meant to serve as a pleasant vehicle for a moral doctrine or to convey a useful lesson without stating it explicitly. Unlike a
fable, the moral is more important than the narrative details. As with the
parable, the apologue is a tool of
rhetorical argument used to convince or persuade.
