Folktales are stories which are shared by successive generations of a people’s storytellers. They generally attempt to help their audiences to:
• Comprehend causes and effects;
• Cope with cultural geographies.
They typically employ animals as vehicles of closure.
• Animal characters therefore get human-interpreted behaviors of helping or hindering well-being.
• For example, sharks and snakes have every chance of role-modeling undesirable conduct what with their predilections for biting into food and non-food sources.
It indeed is a snake whose misbehavior becomes problematic in many a tale from the Hispanic and native folklores in the United States of America’s southwest. A rattlesnake therefore resorts to misconduct unbecoming an animal until a brave roadrunner becomes a quick study in “Roadrunner’s Dance.”
