The folktale's lesson is that everything in life is fleeting and uncertain, with the exception of the misery and death that are the only elements of the real world that all human beings know will be inescapable.
Explanation:
Folktales often offer lessons in morals and life. This is because this is how societies passed on their teachings and experiences from generation to generation. These lessons presented concepts regarding the ethical values of a given culture as they taught lessons on behavior, resilience, perseverance and advice on how to resist life's problems, or on the very problems that were common to societies and that were part of human growth.
