Stories around the WorldDo you have a favorite story? Do you like fairy tales? You're not alone! Storytelling is a favorite tradition around the world. Some stories are passed down in written form, and some "folk tales" are told aloud. Many stories have a moral, such as how people should treat each other, or explain a natural occurence or historical event.
Volunteer Peggy Seville says each of Vanuatu's 82 small islands has distinct language and customs because long ago travel among islands was so difficult. Peggy learned the local language of her island from an old man named Elder Willie. He also told her how birds get their colors in the story "Vasil and Vatiman." Elder Willie says it's a true story! Be sure to visit Kids World again for more folk tales!
