People all over the world have similar stories because they face similar problems and share the same kinds of feelings. Imagine a group of people who always tell about a strong hero fighting a big monster, that might be because their life is full of challenges, just like in the story.
Examples
- A child hears about a dragon in a story and starts to imagine a monster under her bed.
- A farmer tells his family about how he fought the storm to save the crops, just like the hero saved the village.
- Grandma shares tales of people going on long journeys, like the ones she heard from her own mother.
