But actually tales told in Burmese village could be divided into three categories.1.folk tales 2.folk legends 3.Jatakas or Buddhist birth tales. This Collection of Burmese folk tales is highly coloured and exotic. the stories illumine universal human truths. the atmosphere of these tales is of the same kind as their European counterparts. Some of the tales are highly significant in courts of low and often contain pointers as to how certain situations should be dealt with. they from the foundation of many decisions taken in courts of low.
