Why do you tell stories?
I was the kind of child who believed that almirahs might lead to Narnia, and that there were secret passages that led to other worlds. Then you grow up, and you discover that there is really a magic portal. It’s made of four words—once, upon, a, time—and it will take you anywhere you want to go. When you have a time travel machine like that, why wouldn’t you use it?
