What's the difference between plot and story? Which one is 'narrative'?
>>
The story is what you're reading, the plot is how you'd describe the story later
>>
Story is the end and purpose of writing. In this sense it is the whole. Plot is one of the means. A part of the whole.

Plot: Bloke is thirsty, bloke goes and gets water from well, bloke slips and falls into well.
Story: How a bloke fell into a well.

Plot details small situations that affect and lead into the next and eventually into major events that define the overall story. Or if you like, the story is a ride in the elevator and the plot is actually riding the elevator.

Plot is the spine, story is the body.
Narrative is the skin color.
