Story Telling

It's story telling time these days!!!
I was wondering if this is the righttime to start telling storiesftro her as i was apprehensive about her comprehension abilities.
But she surprised me by understanding and re-telling the story in her own language.
At first, i told nearly three stories and asked her a few questions about the story and she answered them all.
These days, she takes the initiative to either tell stories by herself or she will express her choice for a story.
Of course, i have to modify the characters in the story a bit (as for example: In the story The Fox and the grapes, the fox will become a dog as she doesn't know what's a fox) but who cares.
And at times, two or three stories get mixed up and some real life instances which she remembers creeps into the story.
But even then, whatever she tells is a STORY.
