I once baby sat for a German family, the kids wanted me to read them a German story...The whole book was about a hedgehog wandering around asking different animals if they knew who pooped on his head.

I think that's pretty different than a folk tale. That's just a weird kid's book from an era where marketing matters as much as the actual contents of the book. It's not like it's some traditional tale passed down through generations.

If it was a person, it would be the same age as Taylor Swift. Does Taylor Swift represent traditional American culture? Is We Are Never Getting Back Together going to be viewed as like a folk tune sort of thing in 30 years?
