People believe in myths and legends because they help explain the world around us. Like when you hear a story about a giant who protects the forest, it might feel like a way to understand why the trees are always safe. Myths can also be fun, imagine if your parents told you that every full moon, a magical creature comes out to dance! It makes life more exciting and helps people feel connected to each other.
