Children should learn the art of telling stories from Iswaran. What quality do you find in his art of storytelling?

Dear Student,

Iswaran was a master storyteller. He knew the art of keeping the listener interested in his story throughout by telling the stories in installments and ending each installment with a cliffhanger. He would always start telling a story by giving an interesting background of the character. He would then build upon each scene with the same intricacy, detail and enthusiasm. Even the simplest of scenes had suspense around them, that tied the listener to the story. Iswaran had a vivid imagination and he used it to sew intricate and convincing stories. He narrated a new story to Mahendra each day, packed with drama, adventure, suspense and thrill. All of these are qualities of a good storyteller and children can learn this art from him.

Regards
