👉 A building; an edifice.
Alright class, settle down, let’s take a look! That dictionary definition – “a building, an edifice” – is a bit of a trick, you see! It’s true that "stories" can refer to the levels in a house, tall and grand, But when we talk about stories in words, it's a different command. A story is a sequence, a narrative bright, Of events unfolding, filled with dark or light! It’s characters and settings, a plot to pursue, A tale that's told, both old and new. Think of fairy tales, legends bold and free, Or maybe mysteries for you and me! So, while a building has floors stacked up with care, “Stories” in language means something we share – A sequence of events, a world to explore, Don’t get confused, it's nothing more! Does that make sense? Any questions before we move on?
