the community, so that it will be passed down from generation to
generation until it becomes part of the community's tradition. Example:
Malin Kundang, Timun mas, and Lake Toba.

and folktale. Legend is a folk tale that many people consider real because it
has heroic content in it. Generally, legends tell about how the origin of a
place can be formed. Example is the Story of Lake Toba, The Legend of
Surabaya.
