Stories as Windows into Minds

Cover of Adventure LandSometimes all I want is for someone to tell me a story.  Tell me about how you traveled to India by yourself and it took a long time for you to understand that the customs officer wanted to let you into the country and would, if only you would bribe him.  How did the woman you were trying to impress react when the horse bucked you into the dry creek bed?  What was the worst day of your life?
