How do you tell a certain story, be it about your frustration at work today or maybe about something humorous in the littlest amount of words possible, yet able to effectively convey the message. That as the reader, who has settled himself comfortably in the chair, starts reading a story written in simple sentences yet compelling enough to keep him craving for more. And the reader's imagination is further pique and he cries or laughs at the story his own imaginings has created. But most of all, the story gave him the ability to feel and to think beyond what was put before him in the first place.
I think, that's what makes a good story teller.
