Mary led a fairly sheltered life and was quite shy.In every social occasion,her outgoing
husband took the lead,striking up conversations with strangers.In October 2015,Mary and her
husband retired and moved to the beautiful seaside city,Nanaimo,where Mary was looking
forward to some quiet,creative activities.One day,they heard about an upcoming storytelling
event near their neighborhood and decided to take part in it.
As the storytellers told stories on stage,the audience laughed,cried and sang.Like everyone
else,Mary was also attracted by their performance.Somewhere in the middle of the storytelling.
Mary suddenly had an exciting idea.She whispered to herself."I love stories!I want to be a
storyteller!"
Mary knew that storytelling requires getting up on a stage under bright lights and addressing
strangers.Besides,storytelling requires self-confidence and memory.She thought,"I'm a shy
person and public speaking is my greatest fear.I'm already sixty years old and my memory isn't
that great.What if I get up there and forget my story?Where am I going to get the talent,memory,
and courage needed to become a storyteller?"But she had never felt so alive before and she
wanted to be a storyteller so much that she decided to challenge herself
So when the storytellers finished their storytelling and said there would be storytelling
training courses the next month,Mary registered and asked her husband to sign up as well.She
needed his support,as she was too shy to stay with a roomful of strangers by herself.
The courses were given in a library near their neighborhood.It would train leamers to tell
stories fluently and confidently.Mary and her husband arrived early before the first course began.
They found there were about thirty learners,including the young and the old.Mary was quite
nervous,beginning regretting her decision.
