The Native Hawaian word for story is “mo'olelo.” The word means “to pass down a language" because the stories are shared orally. Native Hawaiian storytellers know a lot about history and family trees. They are special members of their communities. Hawaiian storytelling also uses sons, chants an dances. For example, hula tells a story through dance. Stories are very important to Hawaiians. They are fun to listen to and they teach young Hawaiians about behavior and traditions.

The most famous west African stories are about a clever spider named Anansi. Griots are people who tell stories, sing, write about history, and more. There used to be schools where people could learn how to be a griot. Usually, the job stays in a family. It is passed from an older member of the family to a younger member. Both men and women can be griots.
Passover is an important Jewish holiday. It celebrates the Jews' escape from slavery (奴隶制) in Egypt. This escape is called the Exodus. The Passover celebration includes a storytelling tradition called a seder. During the seder, Jews eat a large meal and tell the story of the Exodus. The storytelling begins when the youngest child at the seder asks why this night is different from other nights. The story also explains why the Jews celebrate certain Passover traditions. This story of Exodus is written down in the Jewish book, the Torah.

23、We’ve all heard of IQ, and terms like EQ, which relates to your emotional intelligence, are commonly used. But have you heard of AQ? AQ stands for adversity quotient (商数). 【1】
Being able to handle these rough periods we all go through is not only crucial in our personal lives but in our professional lives too. So how can we learn to be more adaptable?
Adverse situations can take us by surprise and shock us. In the workplace, it could be in the form of unemployment, the company we work for going under or being restructured, or even missing out on a promotion. 【2】 AQ measures our ability to tackle the shocks when life throws curveballs at us. It can be used to predict our attitudes, perseverance, longevity, and the way we learn from changes in environment. In short, our adaptability when there is an extreme change.
【3】 according to Dr Heshmat at the University of Illinois. First, try and find a meaningful goal. Adaptable people often have an aim and are able to concentrate more on a desired outcome. Learning to relax and control your emotions is another key step. And it is one way to help you reduce pressure by practising breathing exercises. Likewise, thinking of things constantly and letting them get to you can cause you to be stressed. See difficulties more as an opportunity to learn and grow emotionally. Finally, make sure you have a good social support network. 【4】
