Theme (narrative)

Okay kiddo, so when people tell stories, they usually have a main idea or lesson they want you to learn from it. That idea is what we call the "theme". It's like the big message behind the story that the author wants you to understand.

Think of it like a cake. The story is the cake itself, but the theme is the frosting on top that makes it taste even better. It's what makes the story more special and important. It can be about friendship, love, teamwork, or anything really! The theme is what makes each story unique and worth listening to.

So, next time you listen to a story, try to think about the lesson or message that the author is trying to tell you. That's the theme!
