This document discusses cautionary tales, which are stories told to warn listeners of dangers. There are typically three parts to a cautionary tale: a stated taboo or prohibition, a story of someone disregarding the warning, and the violator meeting an unpleasant fate. Examples of cautionary tales are provided, including "The Cry Baby" about a girl who cries so much that her eyes fall out. Urban legends and mini sagas/stories are also briefly described. Cautionary tales use frightening stories to teach lessons.

2. WHAT IS A CAUTIONARY
TALE
• A cautionary tale is a tale told in folklore, to warn
its listener of a danger. There are three essential
parts to a cautionary tale, though they can be
introduced in a large variety of ways. First, a
taboo or prohibition is stated: some act, location,
or thing is said to be dangerous. Then, the
narrative itself is told: someone disregarded the
warning and performed the forbidden act.
Finally, the violator comes to an unpleasant fate,
which is frequently related in expansive and grisly
detail.

5. STORIES
• “THE CRY BABY”
• This story is another Hoffmann specialty, from the book
Slovenly Betsy, which was published in 1911 specifically
for American audiences. A mother cautions her daughter
not to cry so much, but the girl doesn’t listen—and
eventually, she cries her eyes out:

6. STORIES OF TALES
• And now the poor creature is cautiously crawling
And feeling her way all around;
And now from their sockets her eyeballs are falling;
See, there they are down on the ground.
My children, from such an example take warning,
And happily live while you may;
And say to yourselves, when you rise in the morning,
"I'll try to be cheerful today."

7. STORIES OF TALES
• That’s not the only horrifying tale in Slovenly Betsy:
There’s also the story about Polly, who plays with the
boys even after she’s told not to—so of course her leg is
severed while roughhousing. And proud Phoebe Ann
holds her head up so high that her neck stretches
freakishly, and she has to cart her noggin around on a
wagon.

8. URBAN LEGEND
• This is a list of urban legends. An urban legend, myth, or
tale is a modern genre of folklore. It often consists of
fictional stories associated with the macabre,
superstitions, cryptids, creepypasta, and other fear
generating narrative elements. Urban legends are often
rooted in local history and popular culture.

• Ankle slicing car thief or The man under the car
• Baby Train
• Black-eyed children
• Creepypastas

10. MINI SAGAS
• A minisaga, mini sagaor mini-sagais a short story based
on a long story. It should contain exactly 50 words, plus a
title of up to 15 characters. However, the title requirement
is not always enforced and sometimes eliminated
altogether. Minisagas are alternately known as
microstories, ultra-shorts stories, or fifty-word stories.

11. SAGAS
• Sagas are prose stories and histories, composed in Iceland
and to a lesser extent elsewhere in Scandinavia. The most
famous saga-genre is the Íslendingasögur, which feature
Viking voyages, migration to Iceland, and feuds between
Icelandic families. But sagas' subject matter is diverse,
including pre-Christian Scandinavian legends; saints and
bishops both from Scandinavia and elsewhere;
Scandinavian kings and contemporary Icelandic politics;
and chivalric romances either translated from Continental
European languages or composed locally.
