A folktale or folk tale is folklore genre that typically consists of a story passed down from generation to generation orally. These kinds of stories were meant to give an explanation to things people did not understand, discipline children or to simply pass the time. Different cultures have different "folktales" and a lot of the time there are varying versions of the same story.
These stories are mostly used to coax obedience, good behavior and discipline; from grown-ups and children alike.
