Sounds like the end of the story (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tale

'story' is the definition.
(I know that story can be written as tale)

'sounds like the end' is the wordplay.
'sounds like' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'the end' becomes 'tail' (tail is a kind of end).
'tail' is a homophone of 'TALE'.

'of the' is the link.

(Other definitions for tale that I've seen before include "Anecdotal narrative" , "relation" , "Shakespeare play: 'The Winter's . . . .'" , "Fable" , "An account of incidents or events" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
