Question

【題目】 Tell a story and tell it well, and you may open wide the eyes of a child, open up lines of communication in a business, or even open people's mind to another culture or race.

"Most local stories are based on a larger theme, " American storyteller Opalanga Pugh says, "Cinderella (灰姑娘), or the central idea of a good child protected by her goodness, appears in different forms in almost every culture of the world. "

Working with students in schools, Pugh helps them understand their own cultures and the general messages of the stories. She works with prisoner too, helping them knowing who they are by telling stories that her listeners can write, direct, and act in their own lives. If they don't like the story they are living, they can rewrite the story. Pugh also works to help open up lines of communication between managers and workers. "To do business well, " she says, "there is a greater need for communication. " Storytelling can have a great influence on either side of the manager-worker relationship, she says.

Pugh spent several years in Nigeria, where she learned how closely storytelling was connected to the everyday life of the people there. The advantages of storytelling are found everywhere, she says.

"I learned how people used stories to spread their culture, " she says, "We are all storytellers. We all have a story to tell. We tell everybody's story. "
