It's often fanciful; it relates imaginatively events which it claims Happened in historical time, not in a primordial realm before time, And a myth is designed to explain some kind of practice or ritual or custom or natural phenomenon.

它常常天马行空，关乎一些想象中的事件,它们发生在有历史记载的时期，不是在史前原始王国，所以杜撰故事一般都是来解释一些惯例,或者仪式和风俗或者自然现象。
