Not 100% certain. Found it in an article on storytelling: [1]
Google Image's best guess was 'contadores de histórias'; which best I can tell simply means 'storytellers' in Portuguese. However, it pops up frequently in an assortment of articles.

The second suggestion is currently being used in Famed In-Story.
I like the first suggestion though.
I think #2 works well. I like the expression on the kids.
The second in #1 is good for The Bard.

The Internet misuses, abuses, and overuses everything.
Hi
Agreed with both.
Awesome. So far unanimous for the initial suggestion. Ideas for the caption? I'm thinking:
"Once upon a time, on a dark and stormy night, in a galaxy far far away, there lived a..."
Specifically all the stock opening lines I could think of. 
Yes, I got it, that is another one.
Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.
In uffish thought
The one in post 2 is a beautiful image, and I like the In a World.. caption.
That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.I think, "once upon a time," and, "it was a dark and stormy night," fits The Storyteller much better than, "in a world," or, "in a galaxy far far away." The two latter are movie quotes, and the former ones are more for books and campfire stories.
The Internet misuses, abuses, and overuses everything.Movies are stories :(
Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.Yes, but you don't tell movies.
The Internet misuses, abuses, and overuses everything.That's like "you don't tell plays" or even "you don't tell books". All fiction is storytelling.
Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.
Yes, all fiction involves storytelling but only orally recited stories involve a storyteller.

Aww, I was about to say something clever*, and now you just ruined it.

The Internet misuses, abuses, and overuses everything.Then just "Once upon a time..." ? Better no joke than a half-assed one IMO.
Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.I didn't think the joke was funny the first time around. :/
"Once upon a time..." is the classic one. For bonus points, imagine Ian Mc Kellen reading the line.

Honestly, "once upon a time" sounds so trite I'd rather there be no caption at all. I don't think it would add to the image.

Hi
I went ahead and put the pic on The Storyteller since the thread seems to be in consensus on that; is there a source?
Any objections to 1.2 going on The Bard?
In uffish thought
Yes; it's a good image, but already on Famed In-Story.
Hi
Ah, that's what that post was getting at...I think it would work better on The Bard, it doesn't seem to demonstrate that trope very well.
It's much better for The Bard than for Famed In-Story.

It currently has no page pic and could do with one. My main suggestion: [1]

Alternatively, this
◊ (A Tale from the Decameron, by John William Waterhouse) though I think this could instead be used for The Bard, which also currently lacks a page pic.
