Myths are like stories that people tell to explain things they don’t understand. Even though some myths come from different parts of the world, many have the same ideas, like a powerful figure who controls nature or a creature that turns into an animal. That’s why we see dragons in China and Europe, or gods who live in the sky across several cultures.
Sometimes these stories are passed down through generations, or people meet each other and share their myths. It's like when you tell your friend about a cool game, they might say something similar, but from their own world.
