Abstract
Abstract: Legends hold a fundamental position in literary studies, encompassing two distinct yet intertwined human activities. A legend, withitsrhetorical dimension, converges, whileliterature, withits imaginative positivity, diverges. Builtuponthispremise, numerouslegends have seized the attention of literaryscholars. A legend serves as rawmaterial, harnessed by writers for itsreservoir of vital energies and vibrant significancethatelevateliterature to enrichedlevels of novelty and dynamism. Emergingfrom the core of legends, whichessentiallyencapsulate a humanexperienceinterwovenwith imagination and creativity, the legendarypresence has asserteditselfacrossvariousliterary genres, includingpoetry, theatre, novels, and short stories. Significantly, amongthese genres, short stories stand as a captivating conduit for the charm of legends. Considering that legends inherently intrigue researchers for their intrinsic connection to human experiences, characterised by their all-encompassing and human-centred nature, a series of inquiries naturally arise. These inquiries hold significant importance: To what extent does the presence of a legend influence the composition of literary texts? What motivations underlie the use of legends? What multifaceted considerations do authors take into account when incorporating them? To illustrate this investigation, we have chosen a contemporary short story authored by Sanaa Shaalan from Jordan, titled "The Water Trills." This narrative serves as an exemplary case study within a legendary critical framework, while adhering to the principles of the legendary approach.
