The Just-So Stories

"The Just-So Stories" are a collection of imaginative tales by Rudyard Kipling that explain how things in the world supposedly came to be. They use storytelling to offer colorful, often whimsical origins for natural phenomena, animals, and landscape features. While charming and creative, they are not meant as scientific explanations but as entertaining myths that reflect human curiosity and cultural ideas. Essentially, they serve as fictional, poetic accounts that help us understand the world through storytelling rather than factual science.
