Long time ago, my granny used to be a great teller. We used to surround by the fire as we sing our favourite song. One of the touching folklore which keeps nagging over my head up to this days, is about a thief; our granny told us that if you steal, your hand acts like a sieve. The purpose of a sieve is to pass the valuables and those remains are invaluable. This narratives as touch me for long, it is true even if you steal you find yourself in great danger or even lose your life. I find it practical and can used to teach the younger ones. Great day mylotters

@mildredtabitha The world will never end. It's only that you live to see your grannies.

I used to love listening to folklores when I was a kid. They have very valuable lessons and very easy for kids to understand and remember.

I didn't experienced story telling around a bonfire with my elders. It's usually normal conversations.

My grandmother has told me many interesting stories before I go to sleep. Children enjoy listening to stories and go to sleep. Grandparents are best story teller for a child.
