Why Do We Tell Stories Around a Fire?

People tell stories around a fire because it’s warm, safe, and fun! Firelight makes the world feel cozy, and when you're gathered with others, sharing stories helps you bond. It's like having a magic show, your imagination runs wild as you listen to tales of dragons or brave heroes. Around a fire, even simple stories can become huge adventures.
