Detailed explanation-1: -Introduction. Folktales are a kind of story that gets passed on from generation to generation. True folktales do not have a single author. They develop as different people tell them over time.
Detailed explanation-2: -Generally folktales are considered both by tellers and listeners as purely fictional.
Detailed explanation-3: -Folklore and Folktale Whereas myth has at its core the origins of a people and is often sacred, folklore is a collection of fictional tales about people or animals. Superstitions and unfounded beliefs are important elements in the folklore tradition. Both myths and folklore were originally circulated orally.
Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: Folktales do not necessarily have to have morals, but some of them do. For example, Robin Hood can be interpreted as a commentary on the abuse of authority and the necessity of the common man to fend for himself. The moral, therefore, is self reliance.
