Many intriguing tales

First off, I thought I would like this collection to be able to recount to my future grandchildren but many were involving death and theft and other lessons I might not like to share with them. I wish there were more that were parables but I do also understand that this is a preservation of historical oral stories, so the author was keeping that in mind when he put them to paper. I did enjoy listening to these short tales and appreciate the opportunity given to review them.
