I don't think the Indians have a sole claim to this analogy. I'm sure if one looks, many cultures have a version of the Cherokee legend. I'm not sure who said there were no more original stories, or for that matter original thoughts. That all stories have been told in many ways, and all thoughts have been tought before. They are only new to those of us who haven't heard or thought of such events before.
The ancient legends of the Aborigines down here in Oz are quite unique, as well. The story of the ''Dreamtime''....Passed down through literally thousands of years.
Hello @Hugh Dowling , I've heard or read of your countries Dream Time, but with so much fiction out there, it's hard to know which story is real. If you know of a good book for us to grasp it's true meaning, I'd like to read it.
Only THEY can know...and appreciate it`s true meaning, Ina. It`s beyond the understanding of the ''white fella''....
