Billy the breadman

Scientists and scholars often proclaim that a child's brain is like a sponge. As we all can agree, the comparison is simply stating that the brain of a child has a unique heightened sense of absorbency which, likewise of a sponge, can soak up anything in its parameters. Storytelling is a great exercise to help stimulate the development of children's imagination as well as cognitive receptors. When I recall growing up as a little boy, I did most of my reading on my own and it was usually at school. As proud as I was for having the urge to do so, one thing I lacked was the bedtime story. It seems to have valuable benefits for young children’s language development, and may also help their storytelling abilities and their understanding of others’ mental states. One day in the future, I plan on having kids of my own and because I didn't get to have that experience, I'll be sure to tell them the story about Billy the breadman.
