摘　　要：The towering resourcefulness of literature lies in its capacity to transpose real and imagined materials(stories)into value system by impacting on all aspects of life.Folktales fall into the category of the unconfirmed or anonymous stories handed down through generations and it provide archetypes or parallels to reality.This paper focuses on the contents of two selected folktales with a view to transposing their anecdotes.The finding of the paper is that such folktales are adaptable for communal orientation,education,and values.It is therefore recommended that critics should continually harness the inherent values of folktales as useful illumination on human behaviours and interpersonal relationship.
