We may derive handsome lessons and half-norms from witticism and historical anecdotes too, not only Aesop's fables or folk tale fables. What's intrinsically nice, most often fits sound cognitive development if all is well with the environment. In most places it's far from the case. Deep Yahweh-insight can be had by listening to the angels inside a bush. It doesn't have to burn into cinders for that to happen.
Keen insight is next after that.
It helps to get proficient in both these areas. They can be combined. Next you can feel free to modify as suits you. The true anecdote is still the counterpart of the parable and fable. Some are overtly blatant or humorous.
