Folktale

"Folktales are stories that grow out of the lives and imaginations of the people, or folk. They are a form of traditional literature which began as an attempt to explain and understand the natural and spiritual world. The origin of the folktale lies in the oral tradition."

The Son of the Turtle-Spirit is an interesting Chinese folktale. It tells about how the spirit of turtle transformed himself into a handsome man who have relationship with a girl. While reading this story, I remembered a story from the Bible in the book of Genesis whereby evil angels lusting over the daughters of men, came down to the earth and took the form of humans.The angels married the daughters of men. The angels who came down to earth are called the "Fallen Angels".The combination of human and spirit angels produced gigantic children. These angels not only took human wives but also taught them the secret of good and bad.
