What Makes a ‘Good’ Story Across Cultures?

A good story is like a magic spell, it grabs your attention and makes you feel something. Some stories are simple, like a tale about a brave little rabbit who saves the forest. Others might have lots of characters or twists, but they all help us learn new things or remember old ones. Across cultures, people love stories that make them laugh, cry, or think, and those are the stories that live on for generations.
