Answer

A legend is a semi-true story which has been passed on from person to person through ages. This legend has an important meaning or symbolism for the culture in which it originates. A legend includes an element of truth or is based on historic facts but with mythical qualities. The Saint in turn curses the old woman. This poem can also be regarded as a folktale which again is a story told from one generation to another.
