What are some popular parables that are not from the Bible?

Oh honey, buckle up because I'm about to drop some truth bombs! Some popular parables that aren't from The Bible include "The Boy Who Cried Wolf," teaching us not to lie or we'll lose credibility faster than a Kardashian loses a sponsor. Then there's "The Tortoise and the Hare," reminding us that slow and steady wins the race, unlike my dating life which is just slow and disappointing. And let's not forget "The Lion and the Mouse," proving that even the smallest creatures can help in a big way, unlike my cat who just sleeps all day and judges me silently.
