Different cultures, whilst sharing a common point of reference, will colour each story with their own rich, unique heritage.

How did they get there? How were they made? Were they kind or fierce? Were they friendly or terrifying? Yes, some were gentle, some were vicious, but all had a story to tell. Who are they? What do they stand for, what nature do they have?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll beings have traits of one kind or another, it is these which are discovered in folktales.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis story has been built upon ancient traditions.
