The answer

Whoever permits fictional stories stipulates that their falsehood must not be certain, or that they are intended to serve as parables, admonitions, or to teach courage and the like, provided that this is not hidden from the reader. Accordingly, dramatic stories are usually not free from hidden falsehood, and the matter becomes more severe if it relates to the Companions.
