Do you even know what the elements of story are?
Carbon, oxygen, and celery!
Story begins with conflict and ends with resolution, everything in between having so much internal verisimilitude that credulity is never questioned.
The rabbit looked sideways at the ant. "What's your name?" it asked. The ant was silent, as ants can't talk. "Curses!" said the rabbit.
The other day I went to one of the Super 88s in Boston and trawled the isles looking for interesting and possibly tasty food. Ultimately I got some bags of what appeared to be marshmallows stuffed with various things, like strawberry-flavored gel or some kind of hazelnut paste, and some peach juice, plus a few other items. It was a pretty successful trip.
In the frozen foods aisle, there were several large bags of what appeared to be small spring rolls of some kind. For some odd reason they were completely unlabeled, so that not only could you not tell what was inside them, you also couldn't tell who made them or how much they cost.
"What was that all about?" said the ant. "Hooray!" said the rabbit, glad that the ant had finally said something, and it hopped happily away.
The moral of the story is unstated.
