Hyperbole (meaning exaggeration) ...is a figure of speech in which
statements are exaggerated. It may be used to evoke strong feelings or
to create a strong impression, and is not meant to be taken literally.
Hyperbole is used to create emphasis. It is a literary device often
used in poetry, and is frequently encountered in casual speech.

A parable is a brief, succinct story, in prose or verse, that
illustrates a moral or religious lesson. It differs from a fable in
that fables use animals, plants, inanimate objects, and forces of
nature as characters while parables generally are stories featuring
human characters or agents.
Some scholars of the New Testament use the term "parable" only to
refer to the parables of Jesus, although that is not a common
restriction of the term. Parables such as "The Prodigal Son" are
central to Jesus's teaching method, both in the canonical narratives
and the apocrypha.
The word "parable" comes from the Greek "παραβολή" (parabolē), the
name given by Greek rhetoricians to any fictive illustration in the
form of a brief narrative. Later it came to mean a fictitious
narrative, generally referring to something that might naturally
occur, by which spiritual and moral matters might be conveyed.
