Inner stories are told either simply to entertain or to share a moment of your life with others. In either case the story often has symbolic and psychological significance. There is often some parallel between the two stories, and the fiction of the inner story is used to reveal the truth in the outer story. The device of stories within a story dates back to a resource known as a frame story, when the outer story does not have much content, and most of the bulk of the work consists of one or more complete stories told by one storyteller.
