Myths, legends, and folklore are all forms of traditional storytelling that often involve supernatural or fantastical elements. They are passed down through generations and reflect the beliefs, values, and cultural identities of a society. These narratives can provide insights into the human experience and offer explanations for natural phenomena.

How did people used myths and legends?
People used myths and legends to explain the mysteries of the world around them, pass down cultural teachings and values, and make sense of their place in the universe. Myths and legends also provided a way to connect with the divine and understand the human experience through storytelling.
What is another word for tales with the same meaning?

Why do frogs appear in stories such as myths and legends?
Frogs are common in Myths and Folklore because the are considered a sign of rebirth, new born, new beginnings, etc. Frogs were and still are considered "cute" yet undesired to touch or handle by many people. A frog's croaking is a sign of good luck, mystery as well as signaling a change of weather. Mystery of a frog brought interest to the creature, how can it hide so well (by changing color to a degree), how can it make such a loud sound, how can they jump so far were all mysteries that drew people to observe frogs. Myths and Folklore are built on mystery or the unexplained so natural frogs fit right into this category.
Could it be possible that the Tanuki 狸 and Mujina 狢 legends in Japan might have a Chinese origin?
Yes, because in Chinese legends, folklore, & mythology, it is said that all animals are capable of shapeshifting (or capable of acquiring human form). The most common animal to do so is the fox.
Why is the bible uncompromisingly ambiguous when it is the perfect word of god?
Because it is a story of fiction. The Old Testament is a collection of the myths and legends of the Hebrew people. Most myths and legends are ambiguous at best. The New Testament concerns the folklore arising around a prophet in the early First Century AD. Many of the stories are very similar to other myths and legends which were current at the time. So it is hardly surprising that it is ambiguous and contradictory, even though the books which make up the Bible were selected very carefully, and all conflicting texts destroyed. A more interesting question to me is why anyone can claim it is perfect. Most Christians don't claim this: especially if they have read it.
Are there any facts about electricity?

The same way you know about your god(s), if any. Most all cultures and civilizations had writings and artifacts, along with oral stories, that inform us today about their culture and beliefs.
