Your tale(s) should have some moral truth, value, or advice to offer.

Sacrifice (What will you do or say to save/ help someone else?)
Nature vs. nurture
Fall from grace (i.e., opening Pandora’s Box, tasting the forbidden fruit, etc.)
Love (platonic - romantic)

Fate/ destiny (Are you in control of your fate? Is there such a thing?)
