Narrator

A narrator is someone who tells you a story. It's like having a friend or a teacher who is reading a book to you, or telling you a story they made up. They use words to help you imagine what is happening in the story.

Sometimes, a narrator is a person in the story who tells the story from their perspective. Other times, the narrator is someone who isn't involved in the story, but is just telling it to you as if they were watching it happen.

The narrator helps you understand what is happening in the story and why the characters are doing certain things. They can also help you understand how the story makes you feel, and what the story is trying to teach you.

So, a narrator is like a storyteller who helps you understand a story and makes it more interesting for you to listen to.
