several kinds such as legend, myth, folk tail, love
storyand other stories, basically they have the same thing in

meaningful story is what we call generic structure. So this elements are very
important which determine whether it is a narrative or not. Just to make it
clear, let’s see the generic structure of the above story in the legend of Toba
