Synopsis
Excerpt from Philippine Folk Tales: Compiled and Annotated
Stories seventeen to twenty-three are regarded as fables and are told to amuse the children or to while away the midday hours when the people seek shaded spots to lounge or stop on the trail to rest. Most of them are known to the Christianized tribes through out the Islands and show great similarity to the tales found in the islands to the south and, in some cases, in Europe. In many of them the chief incidents are identical with those found elsewhere, but the story tellers, by introducing old customs and beliefs, have moulded and colored them until they reflect the com mon ideas of the Tinguian.
The third group includes stories from several wild tribes who dwell in the large island of Mindanao.
