Why Do People Like to Tell Stories?

Stories help us understand the world. Imagine you're a kid and your mom tells you a bedtime story about a brave knight who fights dragons. That's like learning how to be brave yourself! Stories are fun, they teach us things, and they make life feel more magical. People tell stories because it connects them to others and makes memories last.
