Fables can also be described as tales or yarns which have a message in their narrative such as a parable might have.

Never believe a captive’s promise.
It is difficult to please everybody.
Yield to all and you will soon have nothing to yield.
Love can tame the wildest.
Better beans and bacon in peace than cakes and ale in fear.
As in the body, so in the State, each member must work for the common good.
A liar will not be believed, even when he speaks the truth.
Appearances are deceptive.
