It could be a fable or a parable.
Fable= story that teaches a moral lesson/principle, but often times uses animals or inanimate objects to carry the message through.
Parable= story that teaches a lesson, but uses human characters.
Example of parable- 'The Boy Who Cried Wolf'
Example of fable- 'The Tortoise and the Hare'
A fable is a short tale written to teach a moral lesson, often with animals as characters. Aesop's Fables is a collection from Ancient Greece that is still popular with readers of any background.
Another is "allegory." A less common word would be "apologue." "Parables" in common usage are usually assumed to be religious, often even Christian specific, or even more specifically, stories told by Christ himself. "Fables" such as Aesop's almost always have a moral or ethical message but are not generally considered religiously oriented, though they may be considered "Western-centric." Even "legends" over time will drift from pure historical form and take on cultural significance.
So, by definition, "fables" and "parables" are "allegorical" in nature. Other religions, ethnic or even national/political cultures will have similar stories by different names, all allegorical in nature.
