I. I think we both agree that puzzling or enigmatic both work, so we should focus on the second word...

II. definitions: (from Dictionary.com)
fable: a story not founded on fact
edifying: to instruct or benefit, esp. morally or spiritually; uplift
fabrication: (fabricate) To make, create; the act or process of fabricating, manufacturing

Based on these definitions, it appears fabrication was more suitable to represent fables. If you find another definition that actually works for edifying, then please share it.
