Origin-of-death Stories
Frazer collected stories from throughout the British Empire and devised four general classifications into which many of them could be grouped:
- The Story of the Two Messengers
- The Story of the Waxing and Waning Moon
- The Story of the Serpent and his Cast Skin
- The Story of the Banana

Famous quotes containing the word stories:
“A man is known by the books he reads, by the company he keeps, by the praise he gives, by his dress, by his tastes, by his distastes, by the stories he tells, by his gait, by the notion of his eye, by the look of his house, of his chamber; for nothing on earth is solitary but every thing hath affinities infinite.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
