As kids, our senses were much drawn to
these lines on almost everywhere. On
some sense, it’s a bit confusing and perplexing to think that what we are being
told of is something that is unknown.
Stories upon stories, its probably the
most favorite, used and old lines of writers, storytellers, playwrights and
such the like. We often ignore these but
don’t you think it’s about time we look at these tiny facts?
These phrases and lines are long been
used by story tellers to imply the uncertainty, their lack of knowledge or just
plain creativeness (if that’s what you want to call it) on how it all began and
how it all ended.
In some ways, these lines were
formulated to trigger our imagination and likewise rely on the challenge given that
it is up to our minds as kids or grown ups to fill that empty space that our
storytellers left. Our storytellers
might find the beginning both too long and detailed that the story might loose
its nature or incomprehensible or complex in the end for fear of destroying the
stories’ main purpose. Or they were
simply too tired and exhausted to tell the stories to us on a more detailed
manner.
Anyways, the magic of these “lapses”
still continues to amaze and bring wonders to kids and grown-ups as well and as
the story went…and lived happily ever after”.
