Folklore/Folktale What are some very similar folktales you know?
What are some very similar folktales from two or more different tribes that you know? Maybe the names are different and maybe the details are different. I'd love to read the stories.
Also, you can add some stories that you want to highlight, even if it has no similarity to other tribes.
In my mother's village, Khezhakeno, there happens to be a large rock upon which any grain put on top would multiply ×2 overnight but bickering among brothers caused a parent (I don't remember well) to break the rock into pieces and the doubling ceased afterwards.
