Summary/Abstract: In spite of the fact that it refers to some surprising parallels between popular customs and tales, this paper stresses that all genres of popular culture follow children with attention. This intellectual convergence comes to prove the existence of a special cult of children in the peasant's culture. In contrast with other cults, today's deformed cult for children is based on survival, rationalism and pragmatism. That it is lacking egoism and short sightedness, being the fundamental philosophy of a community's present and future.
