Simplified Meaning:
Telling stories with some mystery or exaggeration can be powerful and effective because they touch people's emotions like poetry does. Think about the way people talk about heroes or famous figures – often, their stories are a mix of true events and added details that make them more impressive. For example, people talk about George Washington and the cherry tree. It may not have happened, but it makes the story memorable and teaches honesty. When we share stories like this, they become more interesting and meaningful, much like how poetry can move us deeply. In our own lives, adding a bit of creativity to our stories or messages can make them more engaging and leave a lasting impact on others.
