Metaphorical story (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

allegory

(Other definitions for allegory that I've seen before include "Moral tale" , "Story which symbolizes some deeper meaning" , "Symbol representing an abstract idea" , "Animal Farm, for example" , "'Gulliver's Travels', for example" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
