“Stories are the natural soul-food of children, their native air and vital
breath”.
The story is a phase of communication—the instinctive tendency to signal and
transmit feelings and ideas and to respond to such expressions—and
communication is associated with the social complex of instincts and emotions
as indicated by these responses. Through the power of social sympathy in this
complex, curiosity and the imagination are brought under the sway of
communication, especially in the story. Indeed, the psychology of the story
reveals how deeply social sympathy influences the imagination and controls
curiosity. The primitive side of this social sympathy is seen in the responses
of social animals to the calls of their kind, in the rush of dogs and men to
the cries of battle. Its power over the imagination is shown in the swaying of
the spectator to the movements of the athlete, his ejaculations and his cries
of distress or delight. Through sympathy in imagination the spectator enters
the contest. Further, so socially minded are we, and so dependent upon social
guidance, that curiosity is nowhere so keen, nor the imagination so active, as
in the communication of a life situation.
