Excerpt
"At other times in human history, stories were one way of keeping alive a culture...The best storytellers continue a long tradition of telling and entertaining. But no storyteller can be successful without a keen desire to meet the audience's needs. Besides bonding with each other, the moment the audience accepts the speaker's invitation to hear a story, they bond with the speaker."
