The story after the story

Last class I just thought “The story after story” mean that author depicted the humanity society behavior through carton story. Today after I read “A gathering Chicago”, I found another meaning that author leads to the story of “who moved my cheeses” through the story “A gathering Chicago”.Let reader know this story in the book had been spread and used  in the society. It is not only a story written in the book. Of course, if you just simply think it is a story,you cloudn’t understand why so many people were benefitting from it.
