i can t tell a story

Maybe you lack practice or confidence. Just keep trying and sharing your thoughts.

Practice makes perfect. Try writing down short stories regularly. It doesn't have to be long or complicated at first. Just focus on getting the basic elements of a story in there.

Once upon a time, there was a little rabbit named Benny. Benny lived in a cozy burrow at the edge of a big forest. One night, Benny couldn't sleep because he was worried about the upcoming winter. He knew he needed to gather more carrots and hay to store for the cold months. So, he decided to go out into the moonlight. As he hopped through the forest, he met an old owl. The owl told him not to worry too much. 'The forest always provides,' said the owl. Benny felt a bit better and started gathering food with newfound energy. Before long, he had enough to last the winter and he went back to his burrow, where he finally fell asleep, knowing he was well - prepared.

There was a young girl named Lily. She lived in a small village near the sea. Every night, she would look out of her window at the moonlit ocean. One night, as she was gazing, she saw a strange light in the water. Curious, she walked to the beach. There, she found a beautiful mermaid. The mermaid was stuck in a net. Lily was kind-hearted. She quickly freed the mermaid. In return, the mermaid gave her a magical shell. When Lily held the shell to her ear, she could hear the most wonderful music. That night, with the music in her mind, Lily fell asleep peacefully.
