But listen to this Storycorps story about a mentally disabled mom and her daughter.
It is three minutes long.
It's mom and daughter talking, telling the story.
And it is told with a beginning, middle and end.It begins with mom giving birth, her hopes and fears.
And then the trial and tribulations they faced together.
Finally, how they came to accept and love each other.
Note: They use scenes to show what they mean. Like the daughter describing how she tried to prepare a teacher to meet her mom.
Also: Have a tissue nearby. The NPR announcer needed one.
