    Morocco is a country in Africa. It is the most northwestern country.

    It borders the Atlantic


    Ocean to the west and the Mediterranean Sea to the north. It borders Algeria to the west. Folk
    stories are a very important part of Moroccan culture. These are stories that tell about the
    beliefs, traditions, and history of Morocco and the Moroccan people. From these stories,
    listeners can learn a lot about Morocco and what is important to Moroccans. Moroccan Folk
    Stories "Folk" means people from a particular country who have a certain way of life. There
    are many Moroccan Folk stories that are still told throughout Morocco today. These stories
    each teach lessons and give an insight to Moroccan culture. An "insight" is an understanding
    of something. Many Moroccan folk stories have similar themes. A "theme" is an idea or topic
    that repeats itself. Travelling is an important theme in these folk stories as are animals, Islam,
    family, and respect. The stories always feature (talk about) the landscape of Morocco from the
    deserts to the mountains and the cities.
    Water and housing are also very important themes in Moroccan folk stories. This is probably
    because both water and housing are hard to find, yet very important, in the desert. One of the
    most loved Moroccan folk stories is called, "The Girl Who Lived With Gazelles." The story
    involves many of the themes typically used in Moroccan folk stories including family, Islam,
    animals, respect, and the desert. The Girl Who Lived with Gazelles There was once a young
    girl who lived with her father in the city. The father went away on a business trip. When he
    came back, the city's priest, who was a bad man, told him an evil lie about the girl. Though the
    lie was not true, the father believed the priest and banished the girl to the desert. "Banished"
    means sent away forever.

    In the desert, the girl was adopted (taken care of) by a herd (group) of gazelles. A "gazelle" is
    a kind of animal similar to a deer or horse. She lived with the gazelles for many years.
    One day, a handsome prince came by and saw the girl. The two fell in love and got married.
    Together, they had a son. However, the prince's advisor was jealous of the love between the
    prince and the girl. Because of this, he stole the baby. The girl was so upset and frightened
    (scared) that she ran away to a village nearby. There she wore a man's cloths and found work.
    Many years later, the village was holding a hunting competition. The girl's father, the priest,
    the prince, and the advisor were all there. The girl recognized them (knew who they were), but
    they did not recognize her. At the competition, the girl stood up and told her life story to the
    crowd. Everyone immediately recognized her. They understood she was telling the truth! The
    girl, the prince, and her father were all happily reunited (brought together again). The priest
    and advisor were banished to prison. They soon learned that the son who had been stolen was
    actually living in the village. The girl and her husband, the prince, were then reunited with their
    son. The prince was so happy that he passed a law that said that hunters could not hunt (kill)
    gazelles. From that day on, the gazelles were protected from harm.
