ABSTRACT
In the conclusion of the story, the murderous Djinn and the old fisherman exchange fairytales for the whole afternoon and in this manner resolve their deadly dispute. In the process, they use six basic types of narratives, visible in folktales from other cultures. This folk classification divides narratives into factual, faith-based, imaginary, pragmatic, mythic and “home” stories. These narrative types, in turn, reflect basic comprehension modes – fundamental ways in which we understand the world and which are independent of culture.
