b. Continuity appears in myth a catalyst that creates an unexpected development (Che pastes the foxes tail), (Marx gives grapes to the fox), (Lenin shares the cheese to fox and crow), (Hare and turtle are playing in the monument of Tatlins C’ International).
c. He turns out in the creation of a "family mythology" where the members of this family are creating their own myth or they become leaders in famous myths (Sundays excursion), (festive meal), (the red cap), (superman), (the goats charmer)".
