Even though the format you are considering purchasing is an anthology, the stories it contains mostly began in the oral tradition. You are invited to sample one of the stories from the book. Don’t worry, I have included the whole story. I won’t get to the most exciting part then stop and ask you to buy the book to see how it ends. I’ll just ask you up front, “Please buy my book!”
See, that wasn’t too bad. Now you can enjoy the story in peace.
