Generally childrens' stories explaining parts of the world as fables. Like, 
"why does the rabbit have long ears and sit up?"  The story goes that some 
mother-nature figure caught the bunny spying on her one time, so made it so 
he had to sit up straight when he stopped, but gave him long ears so he 
could hear anyway, or some such.

Sort of like Aesop's fables, only explaining the world rather than morals.
