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:
“Reporters are not paid to operate in retrospect. Because when news begins to solidify into current events and finally harden into history, it is the stories we didn’t write, the questions we didn’t ask that prove far, far more damaging than the ones we did.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
