Need answer "Well, Mas Tom," he said finally, "this old raccoon, he run a long time, but they caught him at last." When John said that, his owner, Tom, lifted the box and the smaller box. Lo and behold, a raccoon jumped out to the ground.

How does this excerpt show that the story is a folktale?

John tells Tom a story full of exaggerations.

John passes his story down through generations.

John inexplicably knows what is in the box.

John is dealing with a common, everyday occurrence.

is not b for some reason

answer: life tends to copy things that already exists rather than taking old ides and making it into something new

explanation:

what is the passage

imparadis't in one anothers arms  

the happier eden, shall enjoy their fill  

of bliss on bliss, while i to hell am thrust,  

where neither joy nor love, but fierce desire,  

among our other torments not the least,  

still unfulfill'd with pain of longing pines;  

yet let me not forget what i have gain'd  

from their own mouths; all is not theirs it seems:  

one fatal tree there stands of knowledge call'd,  

forbidden them to taste: knowledge forbidd'n?  

suspicious, reasonless. why should their lord  

envie them that? can it be sin to know,

? ? what can you explain this to me i am so confused
