What Is a Pourquoi Tale?


What Is a Pourquoi Tale?

"Pourquoi" [por-kwa] means "why" in French. Pourquoi tales are written to explain why things are the way they are and usually describe something in nature, especaily animals.  Pourquoi tales are old legends told to explain why certain events happened.  These tales often start in the past and end when the explanation is revealed.
