A fairy tale (pronounced /ˈfeəriˌteɪl/) is a type of short story that
typically features European folkloric fantasy characters, such as dwarves,
elves, fairies, giants, gnomes, goblins, mermaids, trolls, or witches, and
usually magic or enchantments. Fairy tales may be distinguished from other folk
narratives such as legends (which generally involve belief in the veracity of
the events described) and explicitly moral tales, including beast fables.

Aesop's
Fables or the Aesopica is a collection
of fables credited to Aesop, a slave and storyteller believed to have lived in
ancient Greece between 620 and 560 BCE. Of diverse origins, the stories
associated with Aesop's name have descended to modern times through a number of
sources. They continue to be reinterpreted in different verbal registers and in
popular as well as artistic media.

allegory
Writers
or speakers typically use allegories as literary devices or
as rhetorical devices
that convey hidden meanings through symbolic figures,
actions, imagery, and/or events, which together create the moral, spiritual, or
political meaning the author wishes to convey.
One
of the best-known examples of allegory, Plato's Allegory of the Cave,
forms a part of his larger work The Republic.
Allegory of Music by Filippino Lippi (between 1475 and
1500): The "Allegory of Music" is a popular theme in painting. Lippi
uses symbols popular during the High Renaissance, many of which refer to Greek
mythology.
Fable is a literary genre: a succinct fictional story, in prose or verse, that features animals, mythical creatures, plants, inanimate objects, or forces of nature that are anthropomorphized (given human qualities, such as verbal communication) and that illustrates or leads to an interpretation of a moral lesson (a "moral"), which may at the end be added explicitly as a pithy maxim.
A fable differs from a parable in that the latter excludes animals, plants, inanimate objects, and forces of nature as actors that assume speech or other powers of humankind.

A parable is
a succinct, didactic story, in prose or verse,
which illustrates one or more instructive lessons or principles. It differs
from a fable in
that fables employ animals, plants, inanimate objects, or forces of nature as
characters, whereas parables have human characters.
A parable is a type of analogy.
