Let me put it this way. Imagine I'm chatting with my fellows in a pub, or around a campfire, or any other casual setting you can think of. I decide to share an amusing story I heard from someone else.
In a situation like that, no one's expecting me to frame the story the way I would a written work. I'm obviously not a character in the story, but simply reciting the entire narrative in third person would make it rather dry and impersonal, don't you think? By giving my voice to the characters, I can make my tale more relatable and fun to listen to. Does that make more sense?
