Sure, your guess is right, however, there is more to that than just fun. This is my take on the topic; Stories are categorised under oral literature, they are supposed to be narrated to the respective audience. Reasons why stories are passed down include: Culture maintainance: Most stories are attributed to certain communities and societies, most of us tend to be conservatives of our cultures and would like to have something unique in relation to their community. Our fore fathers with the same aim as this passed down stories originated from our communities and some are still on today. Moral lessons: Mostly when you read or listen to stories being narrated, you will hear the narrator say this at the end "And the moral of this story is ......". Stories with some moral values attached were passed down with the sole aim of passing that moral value to you and me. With those two main reasons mentioned, we then conclude with your assumption, stories were also passed down for the purpose of fun. Witty stories are still used today and so were they, years ago. Any additions can be added.
for fun!
Fables are stories that have been passed down through generations that revolve around a moral, so the importance is essentially enforcing a moral in a 'fun' way, when you tell a child an interesting story that is based on a moral, they are bound to remember it.

Folklore is like stories, songs, and traditions that have been passed down through generations. It's like hearing about magical creatures, brave heroes, and fun celebrations that have been told for a long time. Folklore helps us learn about different cultures and their beliefs.
