Abstract
For thousands of years humans have tried to explain themselves and their world. What made lightning flash? Where did the wind come from? Who made the first humans? Why are people different? Today there are conclusions from scientific studies to answer these questions. In earlier times, people lacked the research tools to study their world, so they created stories to pursue meaning. These stories were told and retold taking their form from the common human need to explain their existence. As a result, a body of oral literature, known as folk literature, evolved.
