Perhaps it began as a simple chant, in â€"first person, relating something of the day‘s â€" doings. Slowly, however, it developed into an art, with the story teller as an important person, preserving the history of a tribe/"its wars, and its life in peace. During the Middle Ages, the story teller became the bringer of news, the historian as well as the poet. He related the events and the happenings of the time, and in his own poetic way he wove into his tales customs, traditions and religious beliefs. Thus he laid the foundations for culture and literaâ€" ture of the mations and preserved and kept alive the folkart of a peoâ€" ple. > After â€" the invention of the printing, when story tellers were no longer necessary for the adults, storytelling continued in the home, for children. A great deal of culâ€" ture was handed down this way, in our own country, For even a hundred years ago, there was many an ‘American family who owned North Shore Gas Ce.
