<p> ''''' | <p> [[Story]] n. L., Gr. </p> 1. A verbal narration or recital of a series of facts or incidents. WE observe in children a strong passion for hearing stories. 2. A written narrative of a series of facts or events. There is probably on record no story more interesting than that of [[Joseph]] in Genesis. 3. History a written narrative or account of past transactions, whether relating to nations or individuals. <p> The four great monarchies make the subject of ancient story. </p> 4. Petty tale relation of a single incident or of trifling incidents. 5. A trifling tale a fiction a fable as the story of a fairy. In popular usage, story is sometimes a softer term for a lie. 6. A loft a floor or a set of rooms on the same floor or level. A story comprehends the distance from one floor to another as a story of nine or ten feet elevation. Hence each floor terminating the space is called a story as a house of one story, of two stories, of five stories. The farm houses in New [[England]] have usually two stories the houses in [[Paris]] have usually five stories a few have more those in London four. But in the United States the floor next the ground is the first story in [[France]] and England, the first floor or story, is the second from the ground. <p> STORY, </p> 1. To tell in historical relation to narrate. <p> How worthy he is, I will leave to appear hereafter, rather than story him in his own hearing. </p> <p> It is storied of the brazen colossus in Rhodes, that it was seventy cubits high. </p> <p> This verb is chiefly used in the passive participle. </p> 2. To range one under another. Little used. | ||
