Why Do People Love Stories So Much?

People love stories because they help us understand the world and ourselves. Imagine you're a kid, and your mom tells you a story about a brave knight who saves a princess, it's like learning life lessons in a fun way. Stories let us feel things we might not feel in real life, like happiness, fear, or even love. They make us feel connected to other people and give us something to dream about.
