The parable narrative often leads us from concrete experience to spiritual awareness by contradicting our common sense or moral expectations. This contradiction may seem like a surprise, a paradox, or an inversion. Using two (or at most three) assigned parables, explore how parables move from concrete experience and the expectations we have about it to spiritual or philosophical messages.
