People decide what is true in a story based on how believable it feels. Imagine you're reading about a magical castle, if the details sound real, like the way the wind blows or the emotions of the characters, you might believe it's true even though it’s not real life. It's like believing a dream is real while you’re still in it!
Examples
- When a character in a story cries, you might feel sad too, that makes the story feel true.
- If a dragon in a fairy tale has a name like ‘Grimble,’ it feels more real than one called ‘Dragon #3.’
- You believe a wizard can fly if he casts a spell correctly every time.
