    When do they turn the streetlights on? Does each streetlight have a separate switch?Where did all the choo-choo trains go?Why don't people just draw their own money?Who decided that red means stop and green means go?Is there only one moon?Are all car honks the same?How do the police stop trees from growing in the middle of the street?Do people paint their own cars?What is a fire hydrant?Why don't people whistle when they walk?Where do airplanes live when they are not flying?

Stories are the crafted representation of events that are related in such a way to demonstrate change over time in the life of the storyteller. Applying the but-and-therefore principle to your stories, bot formal and anecdotal, will make you the kind of person people want to listen to. 203

    When Dad died, he took all his memories with him. Everything I didn't know about him - every question never asked and every story never told - can never be known now that he's dead. It's like losing your only copy of a book before you finish reading the story, except it's the only copy of the book ever. There's no way to get those pages back.
