Stories That Aren't Even True

What is the purpose of stories that aren't even true? The lesson. The stories of Abu Kasim or Sindbad are far from true, but the lessons to be learned are what pass them along from generation to generation. The Native American culture rests on stories. Their stories, as rediculous as most of them seem, are the warning signs that their ancestors provided for them. Stories that aren't true are the best stories, anyways; they are stories plump-full of artificial adventures and juicy lessons.
