A Story That Sticks Around
A story becomes a legend when it’s so exciting or meaningful that people keep telling it for many, many years. Legends often have brave heroes, magical creatures, or extraordinary adventures. These stories might be based on real events, but they get bigger and more magical each time they’re told. That’s how something simple, like a person climbing a mountain, turns into a tale about a hero defeating a giant!
Lessons, Culture, and Imagination
Legends also last because they teach lessons or show what a group of people believes is essential, like honesty, courage, or kindness. Every culture has its legends that help explain the world or inspire people. Over time, these stories become part of history and imagination. They’re not just fun—they help us understand who we are and where we come from.
