Summary
This quote suggests that the stories and legends passed down through generations shape the identity and essence of a nation. The storytellers serve as the keepers of tradition and culture, preserving the innocence and wonder associated with childhood. Losing these storytellers means losing the ability to convey wisdom, values, and historical knowledge to future generations. Without their narratives and folklore, a nation risks losing its ancient roots and the collective imagination that adds depth and richness to its heritage.
