The first folktale that I would like to illustrate here is entitled WHY THE SUN SHINES MORE BRIGHTLY THAN THE MOON. It is a Tagalog Folktale, Tagalog is one of the dialects in the Philippines and Philippines is belong in Southeast Asia under the continent of Asia. It is a folktale because the story is originating in popular culture of Pampanga one of the municipalities in Northern region part of the Philippines.

So, the story goes like this,

WHY THE SUN SHINES MORE BRIGHTLY THAN THE MOON

Long, long ago there lived a fairy mother with two very beautiful and amazing daughters. They are Araw and Buwan.  Araw, the older daughter, was very good-natured and had a gentle character; Buwan, is different from her sister, she was untruthful, harsh, and unforgiving.  She was always looking mistakes with Araw.  One cold night, when the fairy mother came home from her night-time strolls and wonder wanders she saw Buwan desperately mistreating her elder sister, she prayed to God and asked for help against her disobedient daughter.Ahead of time, God had arranged very valued gifts for the two sisters.   These gifts were two giant diamonds that could light the entire universe.   When God overheard the prayer of the fairy mother, he drops away to Earth disguising as a beggar.  Upon learning for himself how easily annoyed Buwan was and how charming and have a sympathetic nature Araw was, God gave the older sister her diamond as a prize.  Buwan was seriously exasperated by this unfairness on the part of the Almighty, so she goes up to the heavenly kingdom and stole one of God's diamonds.  Then she comes back to earth with the valuable stone, but there she found that her jewel was not as dazzling and brilliant as Araw's.When God returned to heaven and knew what Buwan had done, he sent two angels to give punishment to her.  But the angels mistreat their task; they clutch both sisters and threw them into the sea.  They threw the two diamonds upward into the sky and there they stuck.  But Araw's stone was bigger and shines brighter than the one Buwan gets stolen.  Afterward, the bigger jewel was called Araw means Sun or Day and the smaller one, Buwan means Moon.


The second folktale is entitled WORDS AS SWEET AS HONEY FROM SANKHAMBI  from South Africa
The story is about a swindler who is continuously playing tricks on monkeys. The monkeys once had beer bellies and were too sluggish and agile like they are today. Sankhambi traps the monkeys to a cave encouraging a beehive filled with superb and a golden honeycomb, but when monkeys arrived, Sankhambi clumps his feet and makes them believe that the cave is breaking up. He tells the monkeys to must embrace up the roof while he goes to look support purlins and the monkeys trust him, thrusting against the roof with their arms the whole day. By then the monkeys realize and sink in their minds that it’s all a trick and a fake, the energy has burned off all their body fat and they are now healthy fit and flexible. 

The third folktale is entitled THE BEGINNING OF LIFE  from Australia

In Indigenous culture, there is a time of teaching and learning called the Burr-Nong. Burr-Nong starts at the age of twelve and ends between the ages of either sixteen and eighteen. At this time most of the important cultural customs and beliefs are moved down to the youth generation, including the Dreamtime stories. Dreamtime is the foundation from which the aboriginal inhabitant of Australia has faith in all things flow and the Dreamtime tales tell of how the world was created and developed. These stories are consecrated, holy, and the children are obligatory to know them by heart prior they are permitted to partake in the rite that marks their evolution into adulthood.

 
They are not related to each other because aside from they are coming from different continents, they are also dissimilar topics of the story, different thoughts and as well as different lessons.
