Why Do We Tell Stories to Each Other?

We tell stories to each other because it helps us understand the world around us. Imagine you're a kid, and your mom tells you about the time she got lost in the forest, that story makes you feel brave and smart too! Stories help people remember important things, like how to survive in nature or how to be kind to others. When we share stories, it brings everyone closer together, just like when you tell a friend about something funny that happened at school.
