Abstract	This report, the third of seven, part of an interdisciplinary project on the context of reading and reading research that explores similarities and dissimilarities in the response to literature in readers from different cultures, describes the empirical selection procedure used in order to identify the three tales which were to be used in future work on the "Folktale" project. The paper presents a study in which the subjects, 115 Danish high school students (aged 16 to 18) read either three Turkish, three Danish, or four Greenlandic tales and were then asked to write their answers to five identical questions concerning their attitudes towards the stories, their feelings about the stories' content, and their understanding of the stories' meaning. The paper explains that the answers were analyzed and used to establish which tale in each group elicited the most faceted response with the readers, which would therefore be most useful for future work on the project. The paper relates that these results led to the selection of the Turkish tale "The Golden Apple," the Danish tale "Per Smed's Whip," and the Greenlandic tale "The Barking Ones." One table of data is included, and 16 references, two appendixes, and an overview of the project are attached. (MS)
