How can folktales help sociologists understand cultures’ distinctive values when almost all cultures’ folktales are derived and adapted from the same ancient narratives?

The right answer will describe some way in which folktales from different cultures are distinct from each other even when the stories are adapted from semi-universal narratives. That distinctive feature will possess some capacity to teach folktale-studying sociologists about cultures’ distinctive values.

This reinforces the idea that folktales are a good way to study a culture’s values, but it doesn’t touch on the discrepancy we need explained: how do folktales represent those unique values when the stories are usually based on the same ancient narratives cross-culturally?

The manner in which folktales are passed down has no bearing on what sociologists are or aren’t able to learn from them. This doesn’t speak to the discrepancy at hand, so it isn’t helpful here.

This explains how sociologists learn about cultural values from folktales! Even if the stories are often based on the same ancient narratives, each culture adapts those narratives in a unique way. Those adaptations reveal information about a culture’s distinctive values.

This is the opposite of helpful: it reinforces the idea that the narratives folktales are based on are universal, meaning we wouldn’t expect to be able to learn much about individual cultures from them. We need to know what makes the folktales distinct from one another.
