Relates an account. This could mean sharing an experience, event, or a series of events in a way that forms a story. For example, when someone relates an account of their travels, they are essentially telling a story about the places they visited, the people they met, and the things they did.
Well, fiction can also be called "fable", "yarn", "narrative". Fiction is a broad term for made - up stories, and these words all capture the essence of fictional works in different ways. For example, a fable often has a moral lesson within the fictional story. A yarn can be an informal and sometimes tall tale. A narrative is more about the way a story is told, but it's still related to the idea of fictional storytelling.
Narrative. A narrative can be a spoken or written account of connected events, just like a story. For instance, a historical narrative tells about events in the past in a story - like way. It often includes characters, a plot, and a setting.
