Connect - tell (6)
I believe the answer is:
relate
This clue is a double definition.
'connect' is the first definition.
(I know that connect is a kind of relate)
'tell' is the second definition.
(as in to tell or relate a story)
(Other definitions for relate that I've seen before include "Make a logical or casual connection" , "Show sympathy" , "Empathise" , "Tell (a story)" , "Narrate in Tralee" .)
