Simplified Meaning:
Storytellers take events from the past and make them feel alive again, so we can learn something important for today. Imagine a grandfather telling his grandchildren about his struggles growing up. By sharing his experiences, he teaches them valuable lessons about hard work, kindness, or perseverance. This way, the children can use these lessons in their own lives right now. Stories help us understand who we are and how we should act by bringing past experiences into today’s world. By doing so, we gain wisdom without having to go through the same hardships ourselves.
