The first story written down was the Epic of Gilgamesh. The first story from an oral tradition----- ???? I don't know.
If there was such a thing as an Oral Tradition, it was passed on by one person telling the story to another person. The second person would learn the story with its details and then pass that on to a third person.
Scholars say that the early people of the southern kingdom of Judah had no understanding of Joshua. They say that he comes from the early oral traditions of Israel. At least part of the story of the conquest of Canaan must have come down to the Deuteronomist as an oral history. In order to encourage national unity, he needed to include as much as possible of the traditions of the refugees who had come down from the north after the Assyrian conquest of Israel. The story also explains, in epic style, the origins of Israel and would appeal to national pride. The people did not know their real origins and needed an answer.

An oral story is typically referred to as a "folktale" or "oral tradition." These stories are passed down through generations by word of mouth rather than being recorded in writing.
All stories stem from the oral tradition, yes. We spoke before we invented writing.
They often take years to fine-tune.
