    I need traditional stories from these countries: Korea, Australia, Ireland, Columbia,
    My story is about 7 girls from 7 continents, but I only need traditional stories for the 6 in the question. I also need a title to match this synopsis. I also want it to be short and catchy:

    7 continents. 7 girls. 7 colors. 7 lives. 7 points of view. 7 elements. 7 storybooks. 7 happily ever afters?

    Are you asking us to write these stories?

    No. I just need traditional stories from there.

    Sounds a lot like homework...

    You want us to do this for free? Most writers get paid for their work.

    There are only four in the question, not six. Columbia or Colombia?

    How about food? There is probably at least one food item that all of those countries enjoy, but it is called a different name in each country. For instance, samosas in India are called by other names in other countries.

    A title could be What's In a Name?

    I'm not understanding what you're asking for. Are you asking us to find stories for you? Are you asking us to write stories for you? What exactly are you asking?

    This is sounding a lot like homework. It's also sounding like an awful lot of research to ask a bunch of strangers to do for you right before Christmas, and for free.

    There are some good folktale anthologies all in one book (amazon has 1,031 at the moment). Search! This isn't the sort of thing to ask a 'help desk' to do for you, not if you plan to be a writer.

    Many a famous author leaves the short catchy title until the book is written, LOL.
    Many a failed author sits around for months trying to think of a title, and when they finally hit the one they want, they have lost all steam to write the book.
    Pick '7 happy endings' as your working title.
