Those stories in the Bible are meant to be metaphorical placeholders for real life. They teach morality such as "Thou shall not steal," "Honor thy mother and thy father," "Love thy neighbor," and so on. They're meant to be fantasies depicting people we can identify in the real world in order to learn qualities like sympathy, compassion, and understanding.
