Story, narrative (4)
I believe the answer is:
tale
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'story' is the first definition.
(I know that story can be written as tale)
'narrative' is the second definition.
(I know that narrative can be written as tale)
(Other definitions for tale that I've seen before include "Story; lie" , "Story or anecdote" , "See 12" , "relation" , "Late with a story" .)
