A good start would be to find the "o" key on your keyboard instead of using zeros. If you're touch-typing, it's actually less time consuming. It also lucks far more mature and proffessional.

It might help if you defined "our" culture...but just make up a story.

Usually a folktale is something of a story that has been passed from generation to generation. It normally has a "moral" or lesson at the end.....

Here's an idea.... The Sheriff and his deputies were searching through a snow storm, in the mountains for a little boy and his dog that had been lost for two days. The parents were frantic to find him and even the FBI was called in to help search. The winds and snow made it impossible for their helicopter to be of any service. Jimmy, the janitor at the high school that all the kids taunted because he didn't talk normal, he stuttered, and he never finished high school, took off on his snowmobile early in the morning. By noon he was back with the boy and his dog in tow.... The kids always used to tease him, and parents used to tell their kids if they didn't finish school, they'd end up a nobody like Jimmy.

The little boy's parents called Jimmy a "hero"; the newspaper wrote a story about him with his picture and the kids never teased him again. The little boy promised to never venture out alone again.

The little boy grew up to be a teacher and came back after college graduation to teach at the high school where Jimmy was still a janitor.

They became friends for life...

A folktale takes elements of everyday life and infuses them with fancy. It contains lessons, both subliminal and ambiguous.
