; Hoid
Hoid tells the story slightly differently, the main difference being that he includes an epilogue. After the storms destroy the walls and bring in light, people are devastated by the destruction. But they also are better off without the walls, and they'd prefer it. This is because now they can see what they do, as opposed to before when they were in complete darkness. Hoid spins the tale as a reason to keep on going, even after tragedy. This might be the reason he chose this particular story to tell while comforting Shallan, after she discovers what her good deeds around Kholinar have really done.
The story is probably a metaphor for the humans leaving Shinovar. The wall would be the mountain chain blocking both storms and stormlight, and the strife that came from "breaking" the wall would be the first Desolation.
