POURQUOI TALES

POURQUOI TALES
"Why does the Sun go on shining?"
"Why do the eyes of mine cry?"
"Why do the birds keep on singing?"
"Why does the sea rush to shore?"
"Why do chameleons change color?"
"Why is the ocean blue?"
People (especially children) are naturally anxious about the wonders of nature. To feed this interest is the natural world-you can explain it with pourquoi tales! Pourquoi (por-kwa) means "Why" in French. Pourquoi tales are old legends told to explain why certain events happened.
These tales often start in the past, e.g.: A long, long time ago...and end when the explanation is complete. Pourquoi tales are most often concerned with animals and the natural word.
Pourquoi tales come in different versions in nation and countries.
