As we know, stories can be of different types like folk tales, fairy tales, fables, real stories, etc. Every type of story
establishes a sense of connection and especially folk tales strengthen our belongingness towards our community and
help establish our identity.
Stories always have a theme/topic. Every story has a storyteller and a listener. Sometimes, listeners may be a group of
people also. Dictionary meaning of the word ‘Story’ means ‘Factual or fictional narrative’ which means a story is the telling
of an event, which may be either true or fictional in such a way that the listener experiences or learns something.
The process of telling a story narratively is known as storytelling. In older days, visual stories like cave paintings or
petroglyphs were used to transmit information. After some time, the process was changed to oral traditions, in which
stories were transmitted down from generation to generation through word of mouth. Nowadays, narratives are used in
place of oral words like written, printed and typed stories. Written language helps us to convey story in a physical format
and share with community members. It encourages people to make use of their imagination and creativity to represent
themselves.
“It has been said that next to hunger and thirst, our most basic human need is for storytelling.” —Khalil Gibran
