Summary/Abstract: The analysis of the Bosniacs storytelling reveals the lessons and values important for nurturing the crucial traits of the human nature (physical, moral, intellectual, religious and esthetical upbringing). The moral upbringing is the key area in the oral stories of the Bosniacs. Every other area of upbringing is in close connection with the moral upbringing. If the person did not acquire moral values, nurturing of any other area of his/her personality is like "giving light into the hands of the thief". The religious upbringing takes a second place. Although we can find it in every literature type of the storytelling, hićaja is the type in which it dominates.
