Emotions and Storytelling are important. What is the story of your content?

This is a story about a psychology experiment in the 1940s, psychologists Fritz Heider and Marianne Simmel conducted an experiment. They showed study participants an animated film consisting of a rectangle with an opening, plus a circle and two triangles in motion. The participants were then asked to simply describe what they saw in the film.
The animated experiment video is available on youtube in link

After watching the animated video, participants were asked to describe what they observed.
Here are the answers to the question ' What did you see?'
1) "Circle and triangle are in love"
2) "Evil grey triangle is harming the circle"
3) "Blue Triangle fought back against the large triangle"
4) "Blue triangle fought with the larger triangle and allowed his love to escape and after they lived happily ever after"

The answers are really crazy because people described what they saw based on their perceptions, based on their conditioning and based on their memories. This is where the content part comes in.
