“And I wonder if this is why the travelers' tales are so spectacular. If, behind every story about a felled tiger or supposed dragon, there is a real person, someone the storyteller wishes to forget in the only way she knows, which is to retell the story again and again until even she believes it was a dragon, and not a boy, who left her with so many scars.”
