Answer 3

Know your audience. This doesn't mean you necessarily have to tell a story about something they know about, you just have to relate what your trying to say in a manner that speaks to them. Example, I am trying to tell my four year old grandson about the mountains in Co which he has never seen, but he has seen the cliffs on the Mississippi River. I say the mountains are taller than the cliffs, so much they fill up the whole sky and you can see the big rocky edges all over the mountain instead of just the top edge. It tells them something new by connecting to something they already know.
