Trickster Tales

Tricking seems to play a pivotal role in fables and folktales. We as humans perform that same act in many different ways in our lives. Playing tricks can be a playful thing, and also a learning lesson. "The Wolf and the Mink." is one of my favorite stories that we have covered. I enjoyed reading about how carefully the wolf was able to cleverly trick the mink into thinking that he ate the fish, which in actuality it was the wolf himself. The morals behind these stories are often displayed and lived in our society today, and this is what makes them interesting to read.
