A

Our grandparents tell us stories of their years over and over again．Until finally we have heard them tell the stories so many times that we wonder why they keep on repeating these old times．Unconsciously(无意识地)，this is the way our minds work to pass history on．There was a time when writing, reading, books, radio, TV and electronics of today were not present at all．Few things could be used to record and pass information on to the next generation．People would only sit around the campfire or the kitchen table, sharing stories of the past．This is called the “oral(口述的) tradition”．

Children listened endlessly to families sharing stories of their youth．Memories are put in the minds of young people forever so they could later recall and tell them to their children and grandchildren．Can you recall any of this? I can．How could life of the past be able to survive for centuries without this telling of stories and information to the listening ears of the youth?

Just the other day, our Uncle Martin came to visit with his two kids．As we sat around the kitchen table sharing stories and family remembrances, Uncle Martin’s laughter filled the room．He recalled several times that he was lucky to have not been hit by the falling trees．Each person in the room listened and enjoyed his details and humor．

We all can continue to share stories with our children, telling of those good old days．Children do listen and want to hear true, sincere, funny and scary tales dug up from the past and then they tell their friends．So oral tradition goes on and on．
