Who among you is not familiar with the situation? You want to clarify content in your seminar, a moderation discussion, lecture, or workshop in such a way that it stays in the memory of your audience. Or you need an introduction for such situations. It should be pedagogically effective, a conversation starter, an eye-opener. A simple, short story, understandable for everyone, clear in its message, and interestingly told. However, some of your old stories you are reluctant to use, for some topics you don't have a really good introduction yet, and for new issues, it’s not always easy to find a good analogy. Organized by keywords, selectable from a directory with more than 100 subject areas and each supplemented with a conclusion, the modern parables help you here: true, invented, or somewhat true stories, packaged in this attractive way.
