It's possible that there are real-life elements incorporated, but 'It Could Happen to You' is likely a combination of real and fictional elements crafted to create an interesting story.
I'm not sure which specific 'nothing bad can happen' real story you're referring to. There could be many stories with that theme. Maybe it's about a person who took a risk that seemed scary but everything turned out okay, like someone going on a solo adventure in the wilderness and expecting the worst but instead having a great time and coming back safely.
It depends. Some fiction is very close to reality and could potentially happen, while others are so fantastical that they have no chance of coming true. It often depends on the genre and the level of realism the author aims for.
Well, without more context, it's hard to say exactly. But generally, a 'it could happen to you real story' could be a story of someone facing a situation that others might think is rare or unlikely, such as winning a large sum of money out of the blue, or meeting a long - lost relative in a very unexpected place. It often aims to show that extraordinary things can occur to ordinary people.
Sure. It could be a story about finding a valuable antique in a thrift store. You go in there looking for some cheap clothes, and then you stumble upon an old vase that turns out to be a rare and valuable piece.
It can be a real story. People grow and change over time. A person may experience deep love in one relationship, then after some time, they might meet someone new who makes them feel the same or even deeper love. It's not uncommon to have different significant loves in different stages of life.
