Perhaps calling this a Parable may be a misnomer, in that it only has this defining characteristic of a parable below which is from Wikipedia,"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parable" and leaves the " subtext to the hearer.

"The defining characteristic of the parable is the presence of a prescriptive subtext suggesting how a person should behave or believe. Aside from providing guidance and suggestions for proper action in life, parables frequently use metaphorical language which allows people to more easily discuss difficult or complex ideas."
