A Scandal in Bohemia
We have been telling stories ever since the first cave paintings. Stories are important to any society. When you’re young your parents/grandparents would tell you stories about some amazing people and not so amazing people. My grandma would tell me stories about anything you could think of, ‘’One day John and Steve went to go get water for their family and a big brown bear came out of the woods running at Steve and without hesitation John picked up the biggest stick he could find and started charging at the bear and with one swift blow to the head the bear was dead.” Whether or not this is true I will never know all I know is this story.

Not every part of a story has to be true but know who you’re telling it too. It’s not the end of the world when you forget some detail about a story because you can just add something to spice your story up a little, but know what to add/take out of a story to keep their attention because no one likes a boring story.
