Retelling a Folk Tale

Folk tales are some of the oldest stories in the world. They were passed down through generations by word of mouth long before anyone wrote them down. Every culture has its own folk tales — stories that reflect the values, wisdom, and imagination of a people. When we retell a folk tale, we keep that tradition alive.
