  • A folk tale about an animal or person who engages
    in trickery, violence, and magic.

    one is a "bad" character.
  • The animals have human characteristics.
  • Talking animals are common in trickster tales.

  •   Setting
  • The setting is often not important.
  • It is not fully described.
  • Time and place indicated with traditional
    phrases "In a far away land," "Once upon a
    time."

    character.

    end.
