After relating the adventure of discovering a living story teller and an old tale, this article will also discuss the storyteller's use of digression, which is employed to help the listeners follow the main plot of the tale. Also included is an examination of the different categories of digression such as didactic, critical and admission, used during the telling of the fairy tale "Oh Baba".
