FolkTales For GrownFolks
by Gye-Nyame Journey Media

A poetic license has been taken with each story and some will be told in an adult fashion (for those I will post adult content),so be ready to be shocked, and entertained. We are in a new time and although the wisdom is good I have adjusted some of the stories to fit the time. Here is a link to a worksheet to help you define the tales for yourself (copy and paste) http://folktalesbyha2tim.blogspot.com/2013/12/story-builder-sheet.html
