Standard fit for moral tale (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

parable

'moral tale' is the definition.
(tale with a moral or lesson)

'standard fit' is the wordplay.
'standard' becomes 'par' (standard of play in golf).
'fit' becomes 'able' (similar in meaning).
'par'+'able'='PARABLE'

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for parable that I've seen before include "Sower, for one" , "Moral-carrying story" , "scripture lesson" , "Leap bar poorly for a biblical story" , "Bible story" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
