My folk Tale

How Dogs Got Their Barks
By: Renee

It all took place long ago. With a dog named Besy. She was a Chihuahua. She was also the weakest and smallest pup in her letter. She is also known as a runt. Back thin all dogs talked like you and me. But since Besy was the runt, she got the rotten side of everything. She always got teased by her nine other brothers and sisters. So one day Besy’s family went shopping for more chow for dinner. Besy slipped away without being noticed. She was going to Master Pluto’s temple. When she walked in a loud thundering voice shouted “Who dare enters Master Pluto temple.” The voice was so loud it made the walls shake and so did Besy. Then Besy answered in a trembling voice “O Master Pluto I am here for strength and tallness.” It took a second but than the voice said even louder and more frightening voice “NOOO, I shall give you voice and bark.” Then everything went dark. Besy was going to ask what is bark but when she opened her mouth to speak. The only thing that came out was barks and yelps of fear. But what Besy didn’t know is that Master Pluto had put that spell on all the dogs. That’s how dogs got their bark.
The End!!

Folktales

I think a folktale is a story that has been told for many generations and every time something changes or more detail is added to a characters of the story. They are made up. At first they were not put in books but now you can get a folktale at your local library. Folktales were made to explain why things do the way they do or why things are what they are. In other words tell the unknown that can not be explained to people. This is what I think a folktale is.
