I have realized how our world has been sorrounded with many stories. There is not one person in the world that in their childhood they have heard many different folktales and stories by their parents. In every culture they have their own style of folktales and stories that they would share with their children, but they all have the same meaning of why parents share these stories with them. In every story parents share with their children the different type of values there are in each folktale and stories. Value can be defined as something that means a lot to someone and may have gained something. In this case, the folktales and stories that parents tell their children are stories for them to understand the values of life. For example, children can learn the value of being a good person would bring them good value. Many stories can show you some different type of calues that you gained from them. They can also be the most important to you because they are part of your culture. The folktales and stories had been passed from generation to generation, which would have an important value of them. As for me, all stories that were told to me when I was a child, have been passed on to my sisters. The stories that were told to us were stories that teached us the lesson to not talk to strangers and to be a good person with everyone. The value of these folktales and stories are something important to each person that mean a lot to them and learn different things or lessons that can be helpful in life.
