A great book with a story within a story is 'Wuthering Heights'. The main narrative of the love and revenge between Heathcliff and Catherine is filled with the stories that the characters tell each other. For instance, Nelly Dean often relays past events and stories about the families, which are like stories within the main story of the novel. Also, 'The Canterbury Tales' has a story within a story. A group of pilgrims on a journey each tell a story, and these individual tales are the stories within the larger story of the pilgrimage.

Well, 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' can be considered in a way. The main adventure of Alice in Wonderland is filled with all sorts of strange encounters and mini - stories. For example, the Mad Hatter's tea party is like a little story within the bigger story of Alice's exploration. And then there's 'The Neverending Story' which is all about a boy reading a book that contains a world full of its own stories, so there are many stories within the overall story of the boy and the book he's reading.

Good Evening, Mr President!

Good Evening, Mr President!

In the eyes of Chi Zuxu, Chi Yi is a typical delinquent with the three big ‘NOs’— no morals, no virtues, no principles. To her, though, he is a classic baddie who is heartless, soulless, and inhuman. After the girl breaks and climbs through his glass window on the second story, she peeps at him with an innocent demeanor. “Chi Zuxu, lend me the other half of your bed!” she wolf-whistles at him blatantly. The man admonishes with a scowl, “Chi Yi, aren’t you shameless!” Inside the cinema, as Chi Yi’s little hands restlessly grope the man’s body without chagrin, she tells him smilingly, “Chi Zuxu, I want to do bad things with you!” Holding a look of woeful disgrace, he knocks her head. “Chi Yi, aren’t you embarrassed!” It is a lovely love story between a barefaced and a reticent. But, Mr Reticient, please don’t cry when Miss Barefaced finally slips away.

The novel 'The Canterbury Tales' by Geoffrey Chaucer is a great example. In it, a group of pilgrims are on a journey (the outer story). Each pilgrim tells a story (the inner stories). These inner stories range from moral tales to comical ones, and they all contribute to the overall theme of the pilgrimage. Another example is 'One Thousand and One Nights'. Scheherazade tells stories every night to the king (the outer situation). Each of these stories she tells is an inner story, and they are full of adventure, magic, and life lessons. And in the movie 'The Princess Bride', there is an outer story of a grandfather reading a book to his sick grandson, and the book itself contains the exciting adventure story, which is the inner story.
