A snake or a hat?

A story of a hat is not as interesting as a story with a snake that has eaten an elephant. Even though a story about a hat would be more believable the story with the elephant would be more appealing to the reader and catch the person's attention. The story of the snake and elephant would lead to a better story because a snake eating an elephant is not the easiest thing in the world. The snake would have to come up with different ways for it to eat the elephant. The snake cannot simply eat the elephant it would have to come up with a step-by-step plan in order to eat the giant elephant. The hat would be the "lifeless factuality" as it has no life. The hat is an abiotic object that cannot do anything but to symbolize something.
